I.                   Chain surveying:

 

i)                    a)          Ranging a line

b)            Chaining a line and recording in the field book

c)                  Taking offsets - perpendicular and oblique (with a tape only)

d)                 Setting out right angle with a tape

 

ii)                  Chaining of a line involving reciprocal ranging

 

iii)                Chaining a line involving obstacles to ranging

 

iv)                Chain Survey of a small area.

 

II.       Compass Surveying:

 

i)                    a)         Study of prismatic compass

b)                  Setting the compass and taking observations

c)                  Measuring angles between the lines meeting at a point

 

III.             Levelling:

 

i)                    a)         Study of dumpy level and levelling staff

b)                  Temporary adjustments  of various levels

 

c)                  Taking staff readings on different stations from the single setting and finding differences of level between them

 

ii)               To find out difference of level between two distant points by shifting the instrument

 

iii)                Longitudinal and cross sectioning of a road/railway/canal

 

iv)                Setting a gradient by dumpy and auto-level

 

IV         Minor instruments:

 

i)                 Demonstration and use of minor instruments like Ceylon Ghat Tracer, Tangent

           Clinometers, Pantograph, Abney level etc.

 

ii)               Use of planimeter for computing areas.

 

 

This is highly practice-oriented course. While imparting theoretical instructions, teachers are expected to demonstrate the use of various instruments in surveying, stress should be laid on correct use of various instruments so as to avoid/minimize errors during surveying. It is further recommended that more emphasis should be laid in conducting practical work by individual students. Technical visit to various Civil Engineering Projects under construction, Survey of India, Northern Region and Great Trignometrical Survey(GTS), Dehradun etc.
