Course Overview
This course is designed to give site staff in the construction industry and personnel from many other fields a basic knowledge of surveying instruments and setting-out techniques on site, using mainly Automatic levels and Total Stations.
Candidates are not required to have any previous experience of using survey equipment prior to attending the course, but it is generaly an advantage if the delegate has had some exposure to site conditions as he or she will then have a better appreciation of what is required.
Course Overview
This course is designed to give engineering graduates and persons working in the construction industry and understanding of the principals and calculations required for more complex setting-out conditions.
This week's training will give some insight into the application of the right method to solve a complicated problem.
It is assumed that the delegate will have either completed our "S1 - Basic Setting-out" course or have had at least six month's site setting-out experience and be fully conversant with the use of the level and Total Station.
Course Overview
This course is aimed at the experienced site engineer who requires training in the principles and applications of setting out on different types of sites.
The course builds on practical skills learnt on the survey centres "S2 – Setting Out" course and looks at geodetic grids, scale factors and setting out using GPS.
The course aims to give the site engineer the knowledge to choose the correct technique for various types of project the senior Site Engineer can be involved with.
Course Overview
This course is designed to give engineering graduates and persons working in the construction industry experience in the principals and practical application of site setting-out.
Although some participants may have some previous experience with surveying instruments these are revised from basics to ensure that everyone has a full understanding of their application and use.
Emphasis is put on making use of the many built-in functions of the Total Station, which can greatly speed up operations and efficiency on the site.
The CICES regards the Survey School and the TSA "Introduction to Surveying Course" as a fundamental source of core survey knowledge and understanding and it is of immense benefit to the profession and industry. We are proud of this close association and recognise this with full course accreditation, CICES student prizes and awards, and mutual support that dates back over a decade.
