Course Overview
This course takes the student through the theory and practice of levelling from finding elevations to checking the level instrument.
Candidates are not required to have any previous experience of using survey equipment prior to attending the course.
Course Overview
The course covers best practice in the use of total stations and covers basic detail surveying and setting out and is applicable to candidates working in either the surveying or construction industries.
Practical exercises are used to back up the theory learned in the class room.
Course Overview
This course takes the student through the theory and practice of levelling from finding elevations to checking the level instrument.
The student is also taught to set up and operate a Total Station and to measure the co-ordinates and elevations of points which he or she requires in order to plot a plan drawing and to measure the position of new points.
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 surveyors and engineers a good grounding in the principals and practical application of Land Surveying and setting out.
The course is aimed at the assistant or junior surveyor who is starting to carry out their own small surveys and requires more theoretical and practical training in "best practice". The course assumes that the student has either completed the Survey Centres "L3 – Surveying Equipment Course" or has experience of using surveying equipment.
The Course includes the calculation and adjustment of traverses, resection, detail surveying and the calculation of co-ordinates, bearings and distances to enable the surveyor to calculate or check the required setting-out points from given drawings.
Practical exercises are used to back up the theory learned in the classroom.
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.
