1. Introduction
Surveying Method chosen depends on:
by the purpose of the survey e.g. map making,location of specific points, definition of land
ownership etc.,
by the nature of the survey itself e.g. hydrographic,
terrestrial, astronomic,
according to the scale or accuracy of the survey,
the type of instrument or instruments used
e.g. prismatic compass,
level
theodolite,
photograph (terrestrial or aerial).

1. Introduction
Other factors:
Curvature of earth
over 5 km, vertical angle difference will approach 2.5 minutes which
can readily be detected even with most basic theodolite.
Errors
collimation errors in instruments need to be calibrated otherwise rivers
could flow uphill
Surveying involves
transfer of levels between two points
measurement of angles and lengths.
requires solution of triangular shapes using basic trigonometry
(or by graphical means).
If distances are large: planar geometry no longer applies.

Geodetic surveys allow for curvature of Earth 1:2500 scale maps actually vary in scale
On extreme east and west coasts, scale is approximately 1:2501
Reference is taken along 2 oW where scale is 1:2499
Along Greenwich Meridian and 4oW scale is 1:2500
1. Introduction
Surveying Instruments can be very accurate Instruments in ENV are capable of accuracies of 1 part in 20000 with ease if
used correctly.
Maps in UK are based on cartesian co-ordinates
North is represented by a bearing of 000.
East a bearing of 090,
South-west a bearing of 225 etc.
Referencing: True North: Grid North: Magnetic North

Point location - radial line and distance method..
2. Basic Surveying Methods
Difference in the Easting (E) is given by:-
sin.E
Northing difference (N)is given by:-
True co-ordinates of the second point:-
Easting =
Northing =
cos.N
sin.Eo
cos.No
where is the length of the line,
and is the bearing
where Eo is Easting
and Nois Northing
of the reference station.
N
O
This method can ONLYbe used if there is an INBUILT reference
direction in the instrument - e.g. magnetic north

ALWAYS needed
i.e. a reading to R (a referenceobject) as well as object of interest

3. Planning a Survey
Careful Planning is needed
A single missed reading will make whole survey of novalue
Need to provide checks
Abstract raw data in field
Repeat readings if necessary before leaving site.
Remember an extra set of readings may take 15
minutes - but to remobilise and set up again may take
many hours
schedule breaks effectively.

3.2 Basic Requirements
A clear statement of purpose of survey is needed
e.g.
mapping vegetation boundaries; estimating river bank plan
shape or erosion rates;
determining flow characteristics in rivers;
establishing fixed reference stations for future use; locating the point at which a particular set of measurements
have been taken;
measurement of the profile of a slope;
assessment of regions liable to flooding.
scale of the map required (if relevant).
. The purpose of the survey will dictate the scale and
accuracy required and ultimately the methods to be used.
8/11/2019 3c16 Presentation
14/27
3.2 Basic Requirements
Secondary Planning Requirements include:-
what equipment is actually available what time is available
what man-power is available
what access and transport are available.
over what distance will the surveying party be spread duringthe surveying?
Will it be necessary to return to the same site at a later date
to take repeat measurements, and if so when (within a few
days, or several weeks or months later?). How will contact between members of the surveying team
be maintained at distance?
8/11/2019 3c16 Presentation
15/27
3.2 Basic Requirements
Mapping vegetation boundaries:
accuracy ~ 1:1000 (1 m is represented by 1 mm),
Suitable surveying methods:
compass and tape traverses,
chain and offset mapping,
point resection using a prismatic compass. height variations, Abney levels will often be adequate.
Alternative methods, if the equipment is available,
use of a surveyor's level and tachymetery,
use of electro-magnetic distance measurement.
8/11/2019 3c16 Presentation
16/27
3.2 Basic Requirements
Water Slope Measurement
Difference in water surface elevation in a riveris small,
Measurement requires accurate measurement of
height differences over distances which areusually between 10m and 500m apart.
A good surveying level for which the
collimation error is knownis required.
Otherwise river may appear to flow uphill!!
8/11/2019 3c16 Presentation
17/27
3.2 Basic Requirements
F ixed Control Points
Measurements will be needed to the nearest millimetre(centimetre) even if associated mapping detail is not
required at this level of accuracy.
Sometimes, such as in the vegetation survey, simple
methods can be used including prismatic compasses to
establish stations,
Control stations will be located more accurately using
a theodolite and associated equipment.
8/11/2019 3c16 Presentation
18/27
3.2 Basic Requirements
Surveying River Banks
Methods Radial Line Techniques using tachymetry for general plan
shape of meanders (general profile ~5m).
More accurate methods involving the establishment of shortpermanent base lines on the bank parallel to the long stream
direction of the river are needed for erosion studies.
accurate profiles of bank are determined using metre rule
offsets from this reference line to the edge of the river bank.
Decisions needed
what constitutes the edge of the channel?
~10 - 20 m

3.2 Basic Requirements
Size of Survey Party:- what equipment is to be used for accuracy
access for vehicles
e.g.
a theodolite requires a tripod and targets
may also require targets mounted on tripodscould require a minimum of three tripods and ancillary
equipment.
Often makes sense to establish control stations separate
from detailed purpose of survey Communication
Radios
Flags?
Markers: Permanent: Temporary????

3.5 Treatment of Errors
Systematic Errors
collimation errors in instrucments magnetic errors affecting all readings at a particular location
Systematic errors (unless large) can be compensated - will
always be present and calibration is important.
Random Errors observer variations in reading a scale

Exclude 149.3 and mean is 148.10
standard deviation is 0.10
value of 149.3 is 12 standard deviations from mean
and should be excluded.
Gross Errors should always be discarded

3.6 Provision of Checks
Going to repeat a survey is time consuming
Always provide a checkpace out a distance
sight on three positions rather than basic two
if measuring three stations - take readings at all threestations- sum of angles should be 180o
For Level transfers
e.g. elevation profile of longstream of river
trace river from start to finish
transfer level back along back - differences should be same
if errors are unacceptable (e.g. 20 mm per 1 km) then repeat
until consistency is achieved
