Surveying Lab-I

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them, commonly practiced by licensed surveyors, and members of various building professions. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership, locations (building corners, surface location of subsurface features) or other governmentally required or civil law purposes (property sales). To accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of mathematics (geometry and trigonometry), physics, engineering and law. The list of equipments in the lab are tabulated below.
