  • Tacheometric Surveying - Stadia method - fixed hair method - Anallatic lens - Horizontal and inclined sights - vertical and normal staff - subtense bar - Tangential method - constant base and variable base measurements - simple problems – EDM and Total Stations.
  • Curve Surveying - Horizontal curves - simple, compound and reverse curves - Circular curves - Transition curves - cubic parabola, log - spiral - vertical curves – parabola – setting out of buildings – culverts – tunnels – marking for foundation and excavation.
  • Triangulation - different networks - orders and accuracies - intervisibility and height of stations, signals and towers - Base line measurement - instruments and accessories - tape corrections - extension of base line - Satellite stations - Reduction to centre - Introduction to Global Positioning System (GPS)
