Certificate in Construction Surveying and Site Planning
Students learn site development, site selection, site analysis, site plans, designs,
and approval processes. Students are introduced to the principles of construction
surveying, project layout, and operation of surveying equipment. Topics include: interaction
of surveying with other disciplines, measurements, concepts, accuracy, precision,
and levelling; methods for measuring distance, elevation angles, bearings and azimuths
using level instrument and transits; traverses and computations; basic topography
and mapping. Laboratory and fieldwork experiences include a field trip to a nearby
construction project to review equipment site planning and surveying procedures; and
a team project to review steps involved in site planning through completion of two
types of construction sites: a traverse and an as-built survey.
