Engineering Surveying is used to
at the concept and design stage
Production of maps or plans
at the construction stage
Setting out and measurement
at the post construction stage
Measurement and monitoring
Surveying for all three aspects involves the measurement of three parameters :
Horizontal Distances Vertical Distances Angles
Horizontal Distances by:
Taping & Chaining Optical Methods Electronic Methods
Vertical Distances by
Taping Optical Methods Electronic Methods
Angles by:
Magnetic Compass Sextant Theodolite
A variety of methods and equipment can be used to measureeach of these parameters.

THEODOLITE
(For Measuring Angles)
Setting up a TheodoliteEnsure that :-
• the tripod head is approximately level
• the tripod feet are firmly fixed in the ground
This should be done BEFORE removing the theodolite from its box.

Setting up a Theodolite Place the theodolite on top of the tripod, and tighten the centring screw to clamp the theodolite centrally on the tripod head.
Hold Theodoliteby handle
Attach to tripodhead
Do not let goof handleuntil theodoliteis attached totripod.

Levelling up a Theodolite
Carry out an approximate levelling. Using the pond bubble and by adjusting the length of TWO tripod LEGS, bring the pond bubble into the centre of the pond bubble tube.
The theodolite is ROUGHLY LEVELLED AND CENTERED over the station.
Setting up a Theodolite
Fine level the theodolite using the PLATE level bubble tube and foot SCREWS
Bubble follows LEFT THUMB
Position aPosition a
Position a) align the plate level bubble tube with two foot screws.
Centre the bubble by rotating the two foot screws in opposite directions. The bubble follows the LEFT thumb.
Plate Level Bubble Tube
Foot Screws
Required to move the bubble to the right
Bubble follows direction of left thumb
Both thumbs move in (or out)
Position a
• Position b) align the plate level bubble tube with the third foot screw. i.e. 900 from position a)
Centre the bubble by rotating the third foot screw (only)The bubble follows the LEFT thumb.
Using the thirdfootscrew only
Levelling up a Theodolite
Position b900 to position a
Bubble still follows LEFT THUMB

Repeat position a and b
Position b900 to position a

Target
We need to superimpose the theodolite diaphragm over the target
This is how we should sight a target for
horizontal angle measurements.
This is how we should sight a target for
vertical angle measurements.
Example:
Theodolite - Instrument Errors
Plate Bubble Error . This is checked every time the theodolite is set up.
Non - Vertical Cross Hairs . Move the telescope up and down while sighting a well defined distant point.
Horizontal Collimation Error . Sight a well defined point and read the horizontal circle on F/L and F/R. The difference should be <40”
Vertical Collimation Error . Sight a well defined point and read the vertical circle on F/L and F/R. The difference should be <40”

OBSERVATIONS:
Bench Mark:Height of Instrument at First station (A) w.r.t. Bench Mark (x) = Height of Instrument at Second station (B) w.r.t. Bench Mark (y) = Horizontal distance between the two instrument stations (b) = Difference in the height of instrument at first and second stations (s) =
