Session 1: Introduction to Survey
•)This session stated the importance of Surveying in Civil Engineering.
•) Surveying is the technique of determining the relative position of different features on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements and finally representing them on a sheet of paper known as plan or map.
•) The most useful instrument in Surveying is Total Station which gives highest accuracy to measure readings. Total Station is multiworking instruments which offers you to perform all the functions of other instruments such as Prismatic Compass ,Autolevel, Dumpy level, Plane Table Theodolite, Tachometre etc
•) As Single instrument performs all the surveying work. Thus in this internship we learned the pratical working of Total Station on Sites.
Session 2: Theory Of Total Stations.
•) In this sessions we came to know how Total station simplifies the survey work.
•)We were directed with the details of the instrument which was divided in 3 sub sessionsþ
Session 2.1) brands of Instruments.
In this session we were guided with the different Manufacturing brands of Total Station. We were also guided with the different Apps License versions used.
Session2.2: Introduction to components of Total Station.
In this session we were guided with components of Box, components of setup, components of Instrument.
•Components of Box includes-
Battery, Charger, Protective Cover, Data-Cable, 4×300mm Reflector Cods, Mini prisim, Charger, Adapter.
• Components of Setup-
Tripod stand, Round Prisim, Umbrella ( used only when raining occurs to protect instruments).
• Components of Instrument:
Foot screw, vertical screw, Horizontal screw, Battery setup, Magnifying lens etc
Session 2.3: Features/ Programs of Total station.
In this session we were guided with different programs of Total stations like
- Station Setup
- Survey
-Stakeout
- Ref. line
- Ref. Arc
- Tie Distance
- COGO
- Area & Volume
- Remote height
- Traverse
-Road 2D
- Road 3D
We were guided with small demo of each program.
Session 3: Demo of using the Instrument
In this session we were given breif demo of using the instrument.
S1) Proceducre Setting up Stations for survey
S2) How to level instrument
S3) And to start the instrument
S4) Orientation of the equipment
a) Methods avaliable for Orienting the instrument
b) when to use which method
c) Limitations of each method
d) Precautions to be taken
S5) Stake out of existing work
S6) Changing stations for continuation
S7) Back sighting & orientation
S8) Checking Accuracy
S9) Office work (Autocad works)
Session 4: Practicing Instrument Operation.
In this session we were given chance to operate the instrument to plot the compound wall of Nyati empire by using Total Station and its setup.
I (Gaurank Patil) and Shadaab Sayyed are very thankful of Nyati builders to grant us site experience of using Total station. We would like to thank Gatpande sir, Amol jadhav sir, Ganesh Sir, Salunkhe sir, Rahul sir and Datta sir for providing us with their experinece and knowledge.
