Summary:

"Here is an up to date, practical, guide to land surveying and setting out procedures for civil engineering and building site technicians and qualified engineers. This work outlines the theories behind many procedures in setting out buildings and other construction works, including roads, sewers, tunnels and all kinds of curves, horizontal and vertical." "Modern equipment and techniques such as laser beams, infra-red and microwave instruments are dealt with alongside other more traditional methods currently used in best practice. Modern data recording methods such as micro-processors and loggers are also covered." "Numerous diagrams are included to illustrate the text and fully worked examples show how to apply the techniques discussed." "By combining details of work for land surveying and setting out for construction, the author aims to provide a comprehensive volume for everyone using levels, theodolites and tapes, and their latest counterparts. Such intrinsically connected topics as care of the surveyor's equipment by surveyors and their need to appreciate the legal and other requirements in working on sites are fully covered."--BOOK JACKET.
