Surveying Report
Surveying Report
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to highlight the key issues involved in the completion of the land survey. It shows how CCE initially planned out what was to be done, and throughout the report we can see what went to plan and what had to be changed or dealt with in a different manner.
From this report a drawing has been produced, and the method that was undertaken to achieve creating a successful drawing.
The Planning Stage
Before we began our survey CCE planned a series of issues that, in our opinion, would give us a good advantage on the day of the actual survey.
We initially began a desk study of the site. This involved looking into the site uses in order to gain valuable information about the area. We also looked at adjacent buildings (e.g. the Harbour Hotel) and roads connected to the car park. From this we could evaluate some important points such as:
At peak times there were high levels of traffic in the area, and also delivery trucks and other vehicles (e.g. forklifts) were constantly on the go. This showed us that we had to be aware of our surroundings at all times, and every group nominated a person to specifically keep an eye on traffic at all times.
This was followed by a site reconnaissance. This “walk-over survey” involved seeing the actual site. Getting to walk around and see what the actual on-site conditions were like gave us a good idea of what the actual survey would involve. From this walk-over, we were able to establish the key features to be surveyed.
We conducted a site risk assessment in advance of the survey. This prepared us for possible hazards, ranging from minor to fatal. This made us extremely aware of all dangers on-site, and gave us guidance on how to complete the survey in a safer manner.
In preparation of the survey we received a series of tutorials, where we learned how to use a total station. This involved both a detailed lecture and also numerous practical sessions. From this we were able
