Surveying laboratory is to make student familiar and competent enough to draw map in suitable scale by using different surveying instruments like total station, theodolite, auto level, global positioning system (GPS), geographical information system (GIS), electromagnetic distance measurement (EDM), plane table, compass, etc. Students learn to survey from conventional as well as contemporary methods and technology. Our Surveying labs provide students with hands-on experience using common surveying equipment.

LAB OBJECTIVES:

1. To determine the relative position of any objects or points of the earth.
2. To determine the distance and angle between different objects.
3. To prepare a map or plan to represent an area on a horizontal plan.
4. To develop methods through the knowledge of modern science and the technology and use them in the field.
5. To solve measurement problems in an optimal way.

EXPERIMENTS:

1. Ranging and chaining
2. Cross staff survey
3. Chain & cross-staff survey
4. Traverse with prismatic compass
5. Plane table surveying
6. Levelling by rise & fall method
7. Fly levelling & check levelling
8. Measurement of horizontal angles
9. Measurement of vertical angles
10. Tacheometric surveying
