Prerequisite(s):	10418 (v.2) Plane and Construction Surveying 181 AND 10416 (v.2) Survey Computations 185
Syllabus:	Geometric aspects of road and railway design, terrain modelling, measurement and computation of volumes. Adjustment and maintenance of surveying instruments. Planning and surveying of local control networks for construction surveying and as constructed surveys. Set-out techniques for construction serveying. As constructed surveys. CivilCad surveying software. Use and calibration of survey instrumentation: total stations, electronic distance measurement (EDM) devices, spirit levelling and trigonometric heighting. Field checks. Introductory least-squares adjustment of control networks. Assessment includes a one-week survey camp.
Unit Outcomes:	On completion of this unit students will have - Developed an understanding of the surveying theories and field techniques associated with the more common types of engineering and control surveying problems such as roads, railways and earth works, developed the skills associated with using modern surveying instruments, field surveying techniques and software packages for engineering and control surveying, the ability to calibrate an EDM instrument.
