Construction Surveying

This course introduces students to the principles and practices of surveying as applied to construction projects. This course covers techniques for measuring distances, angles, and elevations, using both traditional tools and modern technologies such as GPS and GIS systems. Through field exercises, lab sessions, and practical assignments, students will learn how to conduct site surveys, create topographic maps, and perform layout tasks necessary for planning and executing construction projects.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Surveying Techniques and Tools: Students will master the fundamental surveying techniques, including leveling, theodolite measurements, and electronic distance measurement, understanding how to use and calibrate surveying equipment.
• Application of Technology in Surveying: Gain proficiency in using modern surveying technologies such as GPS, GIS, and laser scanning, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in field data collection.
• Data Analysis and Map Creation: Develop skills in analyzing survey data to create accurate maps and layouts, which are essential for the planning and implementation of construction projects.
• Project Planning and Implementation: Learn to apply surveying knowledge to construction project planning, ensuring accurate and efficient project execution from site layout to final construction.

These outcomes aim to equip students with the technical skills and practical experience needed to perform construction surveying tasks effectively, supporting successful project outcomes in the field of civil engineering and construction management.
