Welcome
Site surveying
My lecturer of site surveying module (QSB60103) is Mr. Chai Voon Chiet. Surveying plays an essential role in the planning, design, layout, and construction of our physical environment and infrastructure. Roads, bridges, buildings, water supply, sewerage, drainage systems, and many other essential public-works projects are built with surveying technology.
Through this module, I've understood the methods used in leveling and I've learnt how to calculate the reduced level by using height of colimation (HOC) method or rise and fall method. Moreover, I've learnt how to set up theodolite and also the tripod. Field works are provided by lecturer.

Title : Leveling
Objectives :
-
To help the students to have a better understanding of the nuts and bolts of levelling process;
-
To let the students observe the usage and function of the levelling apparatus or tools commonly used on site;
-
To provide them the opportunity of hands on experience of setting up the tripod and adjusting the spirit bubble;
-
To aid the students to explore and recognize the backsights, intersights and foresights of the field;
-
To give them a chance to learn the skills of using automatic level;
-
To help them to understand the correct way to read the reading on the levelling rod and record the data;
-
To make them aware of the error occurred in the recorded data and apply formulae;
-
To boost the students’ teamwork abilities.

To give the students a chance to familiarize with the actual working atmosphere on the site including uncertainty situations;
-
To provide them the opportunity of hands on experience of setting up the theodolite for angle measurements;
-
To determine the positions of existing boundary;
-
To establish the positions of boundary lines;
-
To determine the area encompassed within a boundary;
-
To determine the error of closure and accuracy;
