The format of the book is based on a number of years of experience gained in presenting the course at undergraduate and post graduate levels. The course is designed to guide engineers through survey tasks that the engineering industry feels is necessary for them to have a demonstrated competency in surveying techniques, data gathering and reduction, and report presentation. The coursei.s not designed to make engineers become surveyors. It is designed to allow an appreciation of the civil and mine engineering surveyor’s job.

,Fundamental Surveying, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
This chapter introduces the basics of surveying that will be covered in the book. The aim of the chapter is such that once a civil or mine engineering student has covered it and undertaken the necessary workshop.

,Levelling, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
This chapter introduces you to the theory and practical skills of levelling, a process of determining elevations (heights) or differences in elevations. It can be performed using either differential levelling using a level (discussed in this chapter) or trigonometric levelling using a Total Station (discussed in Chap. 6).

,Relief and Vertical Sections, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce you to the concept of relief and vertical sections and their applicability to civil and mine engineering. This chapter begins by providing definitions to terminology that will be used here and also in the workshop and field practical.

,Total Station: Measurements and Computations, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
This chapter introduces you to the Total Station instrument used for measuring angles and distances that are needed to generate planar coordinates from the traverse method discussed in the next chapter.

,Traversing, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
This chapter introduces you to the theory and practical skills of traversing, a process of determining horizontal controls.
|

,Total Station Differential Levelling, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
Total Station differential levelling (also known as trigonometric heighting) is a variant of conventional differential levelling.

,Strike and Dip to an Embedded Plane, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
Mining engineers are involved in the extraction of minerals from ore bodies that often incorporate deposition seams.

,Global Navigation Satellite System, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
In your career in mining and civil engineering, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) mode of positioning will be a routine task. This is because this satellite system is fast revolutionizing these industries in a manner that its inventors never fathomed.

,Setting Out of Engineering Structures, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
In the preceding chapters, methods and techniques for establishing horizontal controls (i.e., traversing; Chap. 5) and vertical control (i.e., levelling; Chaps. 2 and 6) were presented. This chapter now employs the skills learnt in the previous chapters to set out the structure physically on the ground.

,Coordinate Transformation and Least Squares Solutions, |
John Walker,Joseph L. Awange |
|
Abstract
Coordinate transformation plays a significant role in civil engineering and mining operations, for example, where coordinates obtained in the GNSS system discussed in Chap. . needs to be transformed into local systems, e.g., local mine grid system.
