This text is designed to cover traditional and current modern techniques used in land surveying and to demonstrate how they may be utilized in general site and setting out work. The early chapters express the need for care and responsibility in the use of personnel and equipment to check and achieve appropriate accuracies. The type of instruments and techniques to ensure the accuracy required in levelling, angle measurement and distance measurement are described with suitable worked examples. The basic methods of setting out works are discussed in the second part of the book. The theories behind many procedures adopted in setting out of buildings, sewers, tunnels, horizontal and vertical curves are outlined and examples used to show how the theories may be practically applied. The final chapters describe in detail the practical methods used to set out sections of a roadway.
