3. The American Society of Civil Engineers defines Engineering Surveys
as those activities involved in Planning and execution of surveys for
the location,design construction ,operation and maintenance of
civiland other engineering projects.
The nature of engineering surveys depends on the type of
construction & extent to which the region under investigation has
already been studied.
The programme of engineering surveying should be provide for
preservation of the environment,the productivity,cleanliness &
attractiveness of the nature- and ensure that the damage that may
be
4. Done to nature by the engineering surveying itself or by
subsequent construction is prevented or reduced to a
minimum.
Technical Examination
Study of the
1) Topographical
2) Geological
3) Hydrological
4) Meteorogical
5) EIA(Environmental Impact Assessment)
conditions in the construction area,survey of
deposits of local building materials,the collection of raw data
for the compilation of the plan for the organization of
construction and estimates.
The relational organization of engineering survey
is very important.
5. Engineering Survey is used
- Before Construction
- During Construction
- After Construction
Scope of Surveyor in Engineering works
