Purpose:
1. Operate GNSS data collection on a mobile device
2. Compute Spherical Distances between two geodetic positions
3. Generate a Professional Surveyors Report
4. Generate a company invoice
Purpose:
1. Defining Safety Organizations/Certifications in Civil Engineering.
2. Discuss ALTA-NSPS standards for Topographic and Asbuilt surveys.
4. Generate field List types of Surveying Equipment to make linear and angular measurements.
Purpose:
Use a total station and reduce Angles and distances to a Northing, Easting, and Elevations.
Measure and log series of angle for traverse interior angles.
Compile data for a complete traverse
Purpose:
Use AutoCAD Civil3D to plot a closed traverse and solve it.
Problem 1: Traverse by Coordinates
Problem 2: Traverse by Deed
Problem 3: Traverse Adjustment
Purpose:
Compute existing contours and design new contours
Learn basic benchmark leveling techniques using modified 3rd order specifications (described below).
Establish the elevation between 3 points to a precision of ±0.01 ft.
Purpose:
Asked to establish Geodetic Control for the survey, engineering and construction of lane widening for TxDOT on Hwy 6 with a minimal of 4 control points.
You have collected Static GNSS data computed geodetic coordinates using NGS and OPUS.
You will also collect RTK-GPS using TxDOT’s VRS-RTN to compare results.
Purpose:
Collect Topographic Data use RTK-GPS
Check OPUS Control Points with RTK-GPS
Stakeout a Building and Design a Civil3D plan
Purpose:
This lab will use the Python programming language to process Lidar data that were collected from a section of ROW. Used to use numpy, pandas, and matplotlib to process and plot the LiDAR data.
Purpose:
Learn the Drone Survey and process the drone data using online software
Plan and Set GCPs for a Drone Survey
Produce Drone Data in the correct coordinate system.
Environmental Assessments based on UAS derived imagery
Purpose:
Design using Horizontal Curve and Tangents for Pipeline Alignment
Compute best location based on Hydrography Bathometry
Compute the properties for an existing horizontal curve
Explain discrepancies in Horizontal Curve Data
Purpose:
Balance the angles on the following survey and divide the property into the North and South half. Azimuth of each line and Azimuth of dividing North-South line
Purpose:
Practice calculating data for designing horizontal curves.
Purpose:
Practice calculating data for designing vertical curves.
