COURSE CONTENT
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Accurately complete survey measurements and document them for common construction surveying situations.
2. Use surveying equipment to produce accurate topographical maps and construction layouts.
Objectives:
Untitled document
Upon the completion of this course, the student will:
1. Define and illustrate types of construction measurements and their
units as applied to construction surveying.
2. Demonstrate the appropriate use and care of instruments used in
construction surveying.
3. Determine and demonstrate the appropriate method to be
used in the construction staking of buildings, utilities and roads.
4. Define and give illustrated examples of the use of horizontal and
vertical control as applied to construction surveying.
5. Determine the volume of material by the contour, grid and average end methods from a grading plan.
6. Locate and identify all the elements related to construction layout on a site plan.
7. Calculate and plot to scale a topographic map including site improvements from the data provided.
8. Demonstrate how to read construction stakes for buildings, utilities and roads.
9. Calculate slope, horizontal, and vertical distances given appropriate data.
