The document provides an acknowledgement and summary of a student group's surveying camp project. It thanks instructors and staff for their guidance and support during the project. The purpose of the camp was to give students practical field experience in engineering surveying tasks like topographic surveying, setting road curves, and determining distances for bridge spans. The project involved surveying a plot of land and producing a topographic map, road alignment plans, and designs for a bridge site.

1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to acknowledge and extend my heartfelt gratitude to our camp Instructor and for
their vital encouragement for their guidance and motivation and support in the completion
of this project report. This survey camp meant a lot to me as it gave me lot of field experience.
I would also like to thank our store keeper Mr. Manoj Khadka for who co-operated with me
in the matter of guidance to providing instruments. Most of all I thank my group members,
who were operative in the completion of this report.
The purpose of this fieldwork was to make the each student independent to carry out the
work in real problem in the field. We think, the purpose is suitable for further work and which
make us to produce the report of the fieldwork in time. We are sincerely indebted to our
collage MAMTS, for providing opportunity to consolidate our theoretical and practical
knowledge in engineering surveying.

2. PREFACE
This report presents the surveying data of closed camp of Madan Ashrit Memorial Technical
School (Group B). This report will help readers to knowing about the general and detail
description of Surveying progress like as Linear Measurement, Angular Measurement,
Topographic Detailing, Contour Map, Road curve setting, determining the span of the bridge
distance in suitable zone etc.
I am thankful to Er.Niraj Pudasaini for giving some instructions and preliminary idea in
handling me to completing this report. I am also thankful to Mr. Suman Jyoti for his kind
information to preparing this report.
I hope that the report will be further useful in field work for all site visitor in civil construction
and surveying. Inthis SurveyCamp,Wearesupposed to surveya givenplot in all its aspect and work

I will be verymuch thankful to the viewers who go through this report for bringing such errors in our notice.
Furthermore we would be very thankful for the examiners or viewers for their suggestions in improving
this report.

3. ABSTRACT
Surveying is the science and art of determining the relative positions of above, on, or beneath
the surface of earth, and is the most important part of Civil Engineering. The results of surveys
are used to map the earth, prepare navigational charts, established property boundaries.
Develop data of land used and natural resource information etc. Further survey maintains
highways, railroads, buildings, bridges, tunnels, canals, dams and many more.
Thus, the objective of survey camp was to make us gain the experience in this field by
performing topographic survey in a large area, learning to propose road alignment and select
suitable site for bridge axis.
The report reflects the methodology, observations, and calculations made by thestudents in the
Camp with the corresponding drawings. The large portion of the course covered with elements
of topographic surveying, and then those of road alignment and bridge site survey f follow it.
The main objective of the Survey Camp organized for us is to take an opportunity to consolidate
and update our practical and theoretical knowledge in engineering surveying in the actual field
condition.
In this survey camp we have to prepare a topographic map of the given area, road and bridge
site survey fulfilling all technical requirements. In this regard, we are required to carry out the
necessary field works in our sub-group so that we will get opportunity to the decision on
planning and execution of field works for the preparation of topographic map, road alignment
and bridge site survey. This survey camp helps us to build in our confidence to conduct
engineering survey on required accuracy.
