Few Requirements of

Advanced Equipments• Single unit shall handle large quantum of Work.

• Rapid Speed of Work.

• Easy Updating to suit changed work conditions.

• Precise/Accurate Work Output

• Least Human Interference.

• Ease of Operation & Maintenance

• Digital Control/Output.

SURVEYING• Flawless decisions about project plans, designs &

execution needs lot of information in terms of

plannimetric dimensions, undulations & relative

positions of various things at the proposed site.

• To generate such an information lot of data needs to be

collected at project site by the way of surveying.

• Surveying is an art of making measurements on the

surface of earth to define relative positions of the points,

places, objects etc. in horizontal and vertical plane, with

the help of which one may prepare plans, maps and

sections.3

EDM: Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

• Can measure distance even in multiples of km at a stretch

• Can measure such a long distance in just few seconds

• Can measure distance even to a mm accuracy with very high precision.

Disadvantages

• Problem of misalignment when mounted on theodolite

• Measures distance along the line of sight

16

II. Electronic Digital

Theodolite (EDT)

17

EDT: Reading Systems

• Absolute encoders gives output on the basis of unique

digital response for each individual increment of

displacement. Detection of 0° position is no longer needed.

Stable, high-accuracy measurement.

• Incremental encoders give rise to an output based on he

numbers periods or counts between start & finish of the

whole displacement. Thus start position has to be known for

the determination of the measurement.

Introduction

• Principal Features of Laser Light

1. It is monochromatic (of one colour),

2. It is coherent,

3. It has very low divergence.

4. Provides visible reference line/plane with respect to set

outline, level & grade.

• Principal Applications of Laser Instruments

1. As an aligner to set/mark the alignment of a structure,

2. To set gradient for a structure,

3. As a plumb to attain centering of the instruments,

4. As a level to provide visible line/plane of collimation,

5. To check verticality of structure/structural member.43

Distinguishing Features of Laser From

Surveying/Construction Point of View

1. Travels in a straight line & does not sag.

2. Sets up to a true reference line that project a well

defined bright spot or point exactly at the point of work.

3. The range of (Survey) laser in broad day light is about

250m, before sunrise & after sunset it’s range is about

400m, where as under darkness it may be up to 2 km.

4. The problem of invisibility to human eye in bright

sunlight. can be solved by using special detector.

5. Permits free movement of men & material around it, as

only Class I or Class II lasers are used on such

instruments. 44

Types of Lasers

Following are main two types of lasers

1. Single Beam Lasers &

2. Rotating Beam Lasers.

1. Single Beam Laser

These laser projects visible string line or plumb line utilised

in linear or vertical alignment applications such as

tunnelling, sewer pipe placement and building

construction.

e.g. Alignment Laser, Grade Laser, Laser Plummet.

2. Rotating Beam Lasers

These are merely single beam lasers with spinning optics

that rotates the beam in horizontal or vertical plane,

thereby creating necessary plane of reference.

e.g. Levelling Lasers or Laser Levels.

3D Laser Scanner

57

Introduction

• 3D laser scanning is a non-intrusive means of rapidlycollecting detailed and accurate raw or as built terraindata.

• This high-definition technology of survey uses a narrowlaser beam to “sweep across” a target terrain, so thathundreds of thousands of closely spacedmeasurements can be taken in a matter of minutes.

• When these scanned measurements are displayed ona computer, a dense representation of the targetterrain results which can be viewed and navigatedmuch like a 3D model.

• In minutes, complete surface geometry is safely andaccurately captured.

58

VI. Space Based

Positioning Systems

(SBPS)

60

What is SBPS ? - I

• SBPS are the positioning, navigation & timingsystem developed initially by US ‘Department ofDefense (DoD)’ emerged in late 60’s.

• It is the technique of determining the exact positionof any point on land, sea & air around the earth, withhelp of the satellites.

• It is kind of a modern programme allowing new typeof survey, independent of plumb line, a basicreference line in all earlier survey systems.

61

62

What is SBPS ? - II

• It yields positional accuracies even in the

order of sub centimeter.

• With help of SBPS relative position of a station

may be collected in any weather even during

night hours without making any measurement

on the earth’s surface.

63

Principle of Positioning With SBPS - I

• In this technique very high precision time signals from atomic(Rubidium-Cesium) clocks on satellites are transmitted.

• The stability of such clock is in the order of 10 -14.

• The receiver on earth can determine its position after processingthe time signals received from such three or more GNSS (GlobalNavigational Satellite System) satellites.

• Such receiver provides position in terms of latitude, longitude &altitude.

64

Principle of Positioning With SBPS - II

Different SBPS

• GPS (USA)

NNSS – Transit – Doppler Technique – 1958

NAVSTAR – GPS – Code Technique – 1977

• GLONASS (Russia)

• GALILEO (Europeon Communities) – 2008

65

66

SBPS Coordinates & WGS 84

• SBPS coordinates are not coordinates with reference to meansea surface (i.e. Geoid) but are with respect to the imaginarymathematical ellipsoid such as ‘World Geodetic System of1984 (WGS 84)’.

• The WGS 84 is a 3D, earth centered official reference systemfor GPS developed by ‘National Imagery & Mapping Agency(NIMA)’ of US.

• The WGS 84 is nearly coincident with the ‘InternationalTerrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)’.

67

Segments of SBPS

• The SBPS can be divided in to three segments: the spacesegment, the user segment, and the control segment.

• The space segment consists of the constellation of the GNSSsatellites.

• The user segment consists of various kinds of the users alongwith various types of SBPS receivers.

• The control segment has the task to do monitoring, thecomputations, the data transmission and the supervisionnecessary for the daily control of all the satellites in theconstellation.

68

Segments of SBPS

69

SBPS Receivers IThe receivers are generally classified as ‘Navigational Receivers’ & ‘Surveying Receivers’.

• Navigational Receivers:

With this type receiver only code pseudo ranges using C/Acode (available only on L1 frequency) are measured.

It is usually a compact hand held device fitted with quartz clock& works on 12V flash batteries.

It gives output in a 3D positioning system like WGS 84 or insome map projection system like ‘Universal TransverseMercator (UTM)’.

Positional accuracies with navigational receivers is in the orderof 5 to 10m in absolute positioning, in the absence SA and fewtens of cm in relative positioning over short base line of fewkms.

They are preferred for determining the absolute coordinate ofthe points.

70

SBPS Receivers II

Typical

Handheld

Navigational

Receiver

71

SBPS Receivers III

• Survying Receivers:

The surveying receivers are single or dual frequency receiverseither with or without the capacity of receiving P code.

They are little bulky & more expensive than the navigationalreceivers.

They are capable of giving accuracies in the order of few cms inabsolute positioning with precise post processed satellite orbitinformation & of few mm level in relative (Differential/Kinematic)positioning.

They are further divided as Geodetic Receivers & MappingReceives

SBPS: Positioning Methods I

It involves only one SBPS

receiver that

simultaneously receives

signals from at least four

satellites to determine its

own co-ordinates with

respect to the center of

the earth.

1.Point or Absolute Positioning

(Either SPS or PPS)

75

SBPS: Positioning Methods II

Relative positioning

involves two receivers,

one called as a base and

the other called as a

rover, simultaneously

tracking the same

satellites to determine

their relative co-ordinates.

The base whose co-ordinates are known precisely remains

stationary at a site and the rover may or may not be stationary

2. Relative Positioning System

76

SBPS Accuracy

• SPS - Standard Positioning Service (CA Code): ≤ 50 m

• PPS - Precise Positioning Service (P Code): ≤ 12 m

• DGPS with SPS Mapping Grade Receiver: ≤ 2 m

• DGPS with PPS Mapping Grade Receiver: ≤ 1m

• RTK - Real Time Kinematic Surveying: ≤ 1cm

• Survey Grade GPS: ≤ ½ cm
