This updated third edition maintains the same accessible, applications-driven approach as its predecessors - beginning with a firm foundation in the principles of surveying, then supporting this foundation with real-world construction applications. While Kavanagh does reflect the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation, coverage also includes in-depth discussions of more traditional topics. A new chapter on the Global Positioning System (GPS), is included - a new technology that is rapidly replacing more traditional positioning techniques, and there is new material on traverse adjustment practices using raw field coordinates, total stations, High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN), formula-derived vertical curve computations and vertical positioning.
