Surveying & Levelling Laboratory

About the Surveying and Levelling Laboratory

Surveying and levelling are preliminary tasks for any construction, done to establish the plot boundaries and level/make the surface even. Only then does the construction begin. The S & L laboratory helps students to deal with real engineering problems coming up at the time of surveying and mapping operations. The lab is equipped with traditional as well as modern surveying and leveling equipment to carry out various field exercises. The Surveying and leveling laboratory course also incorporates generation of computer aided drawings with the help of total station survey. The different types of tests, which can be performed are listed below:  

 

Sr. No.	Types of Tests Conducted in the Laboratory
1	Chain and Cross Staff Survey
2	Compass Survey
3	Chain and Compass Survey
4	Plane Table Survey
5	Simple and Differential Leveling
6	Theodolite Survey by Repetition and Reiteration Method
7	Profile leveling and Cross Sections for Roads
8	Setting of Simple Circular Curve using Rankine’s Method
9	Contour Mapping
10	Computation of Area from Profile Leveling and Using Planimeter
11	Volume Calculation from Cross Section of Roads
12	Tachometric Survey
13	Total Station and GPS Survey
