produce a report on the plot for submission to the client including the following:
• An explanation of the types of control networks that are available
• A comparison of the accuracy of the network compared to national standards
• An explanation of the process of conducting a topographic survey
• A critical analysis of the accuracy achieved including the influence on the topographic survey
The client requires the network to be robust with a minimum of five stations.
Undertake the following:
• Carry out a closed traverse of the station network which includes heights, internal angles and line
lengths.
• Calculate from the survey the corrected eastings, northings and heights of each of the stations. Also
include an explanation of how you achieved the corrected co-ordinates and heights.
• Using the newly created stations complete a topographic survey of the plot. Describe your coding
and data transfer systems in producing the completed survey.
• Review the content of the survey in summary form, including the survey’s ability to assist the
design team.
