LSCE2502

Students will focus on preliminary and final survey procedures in gathering information through total station and automated data collection procedures. Subjects include centerline profiles, cross sections, radial topography, Alberta (ALTA) requirements, CADD drafting, advanced traversing, triangulation, resection, areas, volumes, section breakdown and subdivision surveys. Field projects will use conventional total station, robotic total station, GPS and data collection procedures.
