LECTURES 1 AND 2: JANUARY 6 & 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION Surveying from an engineer’s perspective is determination relative positions of points on above or beneath the earth surface. It essentially involves linear and angular measurements and elevation difference between two points. In all surveying measurements emphasis is on minimization and estimation of errors. Linear measurements are typically carried out by: • Pacing
• Engineer’s chain (and accessories, e.g., arrow, poles, pegs and offset rods)
• Tachemetry or telemetry (distances are using the principles of optics and a telescope and accessories, e.g., stadia rods): to be covered in this course
• Electronic Distance Measurement (based on reflection of electro-magnetic signals): to be covered in this course
• Astronomical measurements
Horizontal and vertical angular measurements are typically carried out from astronomical observations, or by using a magnetic compass or a theodolite (also known as a transit) or a Total Station (with or without Automatic Target Recognition or ATR capability).
DEFINITIONS PRECISION, ACCURACY AND BIAS: See Figure 1.
Figure 1. Accuracy, Precision and Bias
SYSTEMATIC AND RANDOM ERROR: Systematic error is repeatable under the same condition, while random error is not. Random error is governed by the notion of probability.
CHAINAGE AND OFFSET: The location of a point is often fixed with respect to a survey line using chainage and offset. Chainage is a linear measurement to a given point on the
survey line typically expressed in ?+?? or ?+??? format proceeding in a certain direction. Offset is the perpendicular distance from the point of interest to the survey line.
CONDITIONING OF DATASET: If the results are very sensitive to a small change in measurement, the dataset is ill-conditioned. Otherwise, it is well-conditioned (see Figure 2).

CLASSIFICATION OF ENGINEERING SURVEY 1. Classification based on Geometry of the problem. Plane survey: applies plane
geometry neglecting curvature of earth. Geodetic survey: applies spherical geometry accounting for the curvature of the earth.
2. Classification based on location of measurements. Land Survey, Hydrographic Survey or Astronomical Survey
3. Classification based on the objective. Municipal Survey, Route Survey (pipeline, road, railway), Mine Survey, Soil Survey
4. Classification based on instrument used. Taping, Tachemetry, Aerial Survey, EDM Survey
GOOD PRACTICES • Redundancy (repetitive measurement)
• Working from whole to part
