CE17512 SURVEY CAMP (2 WEEKS – DURING IV SEMESTER L T P C
VACATION)
0 0 0 2

OBJECTIVES:
 To acquire knowledge on the concepts of Traversing and Contour Survey.
 To gain the knowledge and implementation of building marking and location.
 To learn the concepts of determining the Azimuth of Sun/Star and implementing the same.
 To understand the method of calculating latitude and longitude of a place and traversing using GPS.
 To implement the procedure of setting a curve in the field using various methods.

Groups of not more than six members in a group will carry out each exercise in survey camp. The camp must
involve work on a large area of not less than 40 acres outside the campus (Survey camp should not be
conducted inside the campus). At the end of the camp, each student shall have mapped and contoured the
area. The camp record shall include all original field observations, calculations and plots.
Two weeks Survey Camp will be conducted during summer vacation in the following activities:
1. Traverse - using Total station
2. Contouring
(i). Radial tachometric contouring - Radial Line at Every 45 degree and Length not less than 60
Meter on each Radial Line
(ii). Block Level/ by squares of size at least 100 Meter x 100 Meter at least 20 Meter interval
(III). L.S & C.S - Road and canal alignment for a Length of not less than 1 Kilo Meter at least
L.S at Every 30M and C.S at every 90 M
3. Offset of Buildings and Plotting the Location
4. Sun / Star observation to determine azimuth
5. Use of GPS to determine latitude and longitude and locate the survey camp location
6. Traversing using GPS
7. Curve setting by deflection angle
Apart from above students may be given survey exercises in other area also based on site condition to give
good exposure on survey.

OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to
 Implement the concepts behind Traversing and Contour Survey in the field.
