This course is designed for individuals transitioning into a career in surveying within the construction engineering sector. It will lead to achieving the ProQual Level 3 Diploma in Engineering Surveying qualification, CITB assured courses in Total Station for construction
Learners will also be eligible to apply for a gold CSCS Engineer Surveyor card.
Did you know you don't need a degree to work as an engineer at construction sites?
Did you know that a university degree for setting out and site engineers is a complete waste of time and money?
Why go to a university and end up with debts of £60,000 +
When we can teach you all you need and a nationally and European-approved qualification for just £3595
Our course is designed to take you from beginner to a competent engineer surveyor level in two to three months, enabling you to achieve the Diploma in Engineering Surveying qualification.
Course content
The list below covers the main topics; many more are not shown due to space limitations.
Total Station
set up the total station over a point
carry out relevant calibration checks.
(horizontal and vertical collimation error, trunnion axis, prism constant, optical/ laser plummet, diaphragm orientation)
list the possible sources of error when using a total station
list techniques for improving and checking your accuracy and precision
view, edit, add, and delete data
install a network of primary control points from scratch (traverse)
install accurate secondary control points (retro targets)
create a local coordinate system
measure and set out reduced levels with the total station
describe a range of methods for plumbing columns and walls
set the position and orientation of the total station using the resection
set the position and orientation by setting up over a known point and referencing another known point
take a topographical survey and record the results systematically
measure the horizontal distance and level differences between points
stake out points of known co-ordinates using the stake out function
stake out points in relation to a baseline using the reference line function
import and export data
discuss the relationship between Total Station and GNSS equipment
explain the scenarios when you would choose mechanical and robotic total stations
Levelling
Record work correctly and to the industry standard
Incorporate robust checks to all levelling
List the sources of error in levelling
Carry out a level survey (existing features or as-built)
Set elements to a fixed level, i.e. top of concrete levels
Measure the reduced level of ceilings and soffits
Transfer Temporary Benchmarks (TBM) to create new Temporary Benchmarks (TBM)
Check that the level is in correct calibration – two peg test
Set up profile boards for level excavation
Set up profile boards for sloping excavation
Set up batter rails for cut and fill
Apply the principles of various levelling equipment
Calculate gradients for the purpose of setting out
List the sources of error in taping
Set out right angles and rectangles using a tape measure
Set out on sloping ground
Incorporate checks when setting out using a tape measure
