Planning A Survey Planning requires a well rounded

understanding of surveying practices Process:

1. Choice of accuracy required (depends on use to be made)

1. Basic Control

2. Topographic

3. Photogrammetry



Planning A Survey2. Existing Control

1. Search records for existing control in area1. Illinois Geological Survey – Urbana, IL

2. National Geodetic Survey – Rolla, MO or Rockville, Maryland

2. Reconnaissance:1. Search Procedure:

1. Description often dated

2. Can use GPS receiver (Lat. And Long)

3. Probe, detectors – often problems - brass



Planning A Survey4. Choice of Instruments and Methods

1. Depends on availability, location, existing features, and accuracy

4. Computation and Drafting



Accuracy and Errors Accuracy depends on:

1. Precise instruments

2. Precise Methods

3. Good Planning

Example: Angle turned with theodolite, pointed with care; readings checked thus good precision. Angle’s of 2-3” expected, real results angle’s 15” = accuracy



Errors 3 Types

1. Blunders

2. Systematic Error

3. Accidental Error

Blunder is a mistake, to help eliminate:1. Every value to be recorded must be checked

by some independent field observation



Errors2. Once check indicates that there is no blunder,

field record must never be changed or destroyed

3. An overall check must be applied to every control survey. Make as many overall checks as possible.



Errors Systematic Error – an error that under the same

conditions will always be of same size and sign. Basic Rules to Eliminate:

1. All surveying equipment must be designed and used so that whenever possible systematic errors will be eliminated automatically

2. Systematic error which can not be eliminated must be evaluated and their relationship to conditions that cause them must be determined.

Example: Temperature Corrections



Errors Accidental Errors – (random errors)

represent the limit of precision in the determination of a value

Corrected be laws of probability Compass Rule and Least Squares



Hydrographic Surveys1. Surveys and mapping of bodies of water and

shorelines 2. Rivers and Lakes – Process different

1. Rivers 1. Normal process is to establish 2 parallel lines of control

points on opposite sides2. River Portion: 2 processes

1. EDM similar to radial2. Dual instrument with position by angle and intersection

2. Lakes1. Normal process same as river but generally do not have

current problems



Overall Process:1. Establish control points both horizontal and

vertical2. Preplan where sections are to be taken (this is

basis for control points on shore)3. Cross sections taken4. If EDM, radials taken from control points due to

difficulty in obtaining shots under 300’5. May have to combine cross sections and radial

location to pick up anomalies not covered by cross sections



Gauging Stations Purpose is to install either manually read or

automatic gauges to determine stream, river, lake, or ocean elevations

Process:

1. Establish system of BM’s throughout area gauges will be installed

2. Establish elevation mark at site for installation

3. After gauges are installed, check elevation of each



Topographic Surveys 6 Basic Methods1. Radial2. Plus/Offset

1. Plus Offset1. Establish baseline (Often centerline), establish

points at station interval 50’, 100’, 200’2. Tie planimetric data by distance down line plus

distance right or left (looking up stationing)3. Establish elevations on station points then

elevation out a predetermined distance with shots at breaks



Topographic Surveys4. Due additional section to locate features in between

stations5. Equipment: Tape, Level, Rod, Transit, - Right Angle

Prism?2. Grid Method

1. Take cross Section Groups and Combine2. Establish Grid baseline – often property line3. Establish Perpendicular line4. Both Marked at grid interval (25’, 50’)5. Planimetric tied plus/offset in each grid6. Grid laid out by double taping7. Field notes 1 – 2 grids/page



Topographic Surveys

3. Photogrammetry1. Limitations

1. Trees – Leaves off – no large growths of coniferous

2. Ground Cover – grass, thick weeds and vines, snow

3. Clear Sky

4. Tall Buildings Due to these Limitations Illinois only has on the

average of 2 weeks flying time



Topographic Surveys Scale – Photo S = (f/H’) Coordinates From Photos XA = (xa/f)(H-ha) YA = (ya/f)(H-ha) Height of an object r = radial dist. to top d = radial dist. to top – radial

dist. to bottom h= d (H’) / r



Topographic Surveys4. GPS: Total Station System

1. Basic of GPS1. Topo with GPS2. Topo: Trimble Total Station (RTK)

2. Limitations:1. Must be able to maintain satellite signal – Trees,

Building2. Signal Reflection (Multipath) – Buildings,

Fences, Roofs3. Debate over elevation (0.15’ +/- my belief)



Topographic Surveys

5. Trace Contour1. Used to identify several contours around an

area

5. Plane Table Surveys1. Rarely used

2. Method prepares a manuscript map in the field



Mapping and Map Drafting 2 Basic Types of Maps used in

Engineering1. Line Drawing

2. Photogrametrically prepared manuscript or orthophoto map



Mapping and Map Drafting

1. Datum in Mapping: Datum used to correlate measurements, to

determine elevations and horizontal positions for points at different locations

Topographic Maps using Symbols Show:1. Spatial configuration of Earths surface

(contours)

2. Natural Features (Lakes, Rivers, etc.)

3. Physical Changes caused by man




2. Planning Maps Used in planning Engineering work or overall

planning at the urban, Regional, or National Levels

2. Plotting Contours: Interpolation:

1. Estimation

2. Computation



Mapping and Map Drafting4. Contours

Characteristics of Contours:1. Horizontal distance between contour lines is inversely

proportionate to the slope

2. Uniform slopes have contours evenly spaced

3. Along plane surfaces (manmade) contour lines are straight and parallel

4. Contour lines are perpendicular to lines of steepest slope

5. All contours close upon themselves

6. Different contours do not merge or cross one another (except vertical walls, overhangs, cliffs) on map



Mapping and Map Drafting Factors that influence choice of map scale

1. Clarity with which features can be shown

2. Cost (larger scale – higher cost)

3. Correlation of Map data with related maps

4. Desired size of map sheet

5. Physical factors (number and character), nature of terrain, required contour interval




5. Map Classifications Based on American Society of Civil

Engineering, Surveying, and Mapping Division
