Engineering and Design Geodetic and Control Surveying (EM 1110-1-1004).pdf

February 22, 2009 · Filed Under Geodetic Engineering · 2 Comments  · Tags: , , ,

This manual covers the use of engineering surveying techniques for establishing and/or extending project construction control. Accuracy requirements, standards, measurement procedures, calibrations, horizontal and vertical datum transformations, data reduction and adjustment methods, and engineering surveying techniques are outlined. The primary focus of this manual is on conventional (i.e., non-GPS) horizontal and vertical survey techniques using traditional ground survey instruments–transits, theodolites, levels, electronic total stations, etc. Typically, conventional survey techniques include traverse, triangulation, trilateration, and differential leveling.

This manual applies to all USACE commands having responsibility for the planning, engineering and design, operations, maintenance, construction, and related real estate and regulatory functions of civil works, military construction, and environmental restoration projects. It applies to control surveys performed by both hired-labor forces and contracted survey forces.
