ABSTRACT
This Technical Report contains seven chapters. Each chapter contains a particular project carried out during my six
months SIWES (Students Industrial Work Experience) program at Good Value Geoinformation Consult, No 32
Edinbur Ogui Newlayout Enugu. As an IT student, I participated fully in each of the projects among others.
Chapter one contains a landed property Survey which we did for Rev. Christopher Anoke on his land at Nchatancha
Nike Enugu East L.G.A of Enugu state. The aim of the project was to carry out a landed property survey including
burying of beacons round the boundary for Rev. Christopher Anoke for the purpose of Registration and Grant of
Ownership. We did the survey on 5th
July 2013 under a very bright weather condition with Kern A1-K Theodolite
instrument and Etrex Handheld GPS. The land covered an area of 563.062 sq.meters and Autodesk land desktop was
used for the drafting and printing of the plan.
Chapter two is a detailed field report on a road preliminary survey carried out for the dualization of abakaliki
Enugu road from 60km to 66km. The aim of the project was to carry out preliminary survey in order to produce,
longitudinal profile, cross section and details plan which will be used for the design of the dual lane. Ashtech
Differential Global Positioning System was used to carry out the survey. The project lasted for one week. It started
on 6th
and ended on 12th
July 2013.
Chapter three reports on a Building Setting Out Survey of a proposed laboratory building for Ebonyi State College
of Education Ikwo, in Ikwo L.G.A, Eboyi State. The aim of the survey was to set-out the external columns of the
building on the ground in order to commence the profile proper. It was done on 26th
September 2013 under a bright
weather condition. We used South Total Station Instrument to execute the project. Ray method was used in the
setting out.
Chapter four contains field report on topographic survey, for Engr. Hillary Odoh at his building Site in Owerri Ani
Street, Independence Layout, Enugu south L.G.A, Enugu State. The aim of the project is to carry out survey in order
to generate perimeter plan and contour plan for the purpose of planning, setting out and leveling of the building area.

The instruments used were South Total Station and Ashtech DGPS. We casted four benchmarks and used the DGPS
to determine their datum parameters. We set total station on BM1 cued in the coordinates of the benchmarks, tested
them for accuracy before we started the survey proper. We used total station to pick the perimeter and grid points
because the weather was dull as such gave our DGPS poor reception. The survey started on 24th
to 28th
July 2013
under a humid cloudy weather condition. The perimeter covers about 2.475 hectares drafted with AutoCAD 2007
software while the contour was generated with surfer 9 software.
Chapter five is a field report on Ufuma Market Boundary Pillar Re-establishment which we did at Ufuma in
Orumba North L.G.A of Anambra State. The aim of the survey was to re-establish demolished boundary beacons.
The survey was done on Saturday 6th
April 2013 at a bright weather condition with kern A1-K Theodolite
instrument. The original plan was used and the survey was done in anti-clockwise direction.
Chapter six contains a report on Obodoma Layout Survey Project at Ugwuaji Enugu south L.G.A of Enugu State.
The aim of the survey was to parcellate plots of land for the purpose of housing and development. The layout covers
about 114.821 hectares with 1516 plots. The instruments used were Hi-Target Total Station Instrument. The survey
started 1st July 2012 and is still in progress till date.
And finally, chapter seven is for general comments, recommendations and conclusion.

INTRODUCTION
Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a curricular provision of the University of Nigeria, where
students of most technology-based courses are given the privilege to work with a company, industry, firm, or
Ministry, that is related to their professions, in order to get acquainted with the Methodology, Instrumentation,
Procedures, and mode of Processing acquired data and also to get them prepared for the life after School.
It has always been my dream to develop practically in field surveys, methodology and instrumentation. I saw this
dream come true in this six months industrial training. I participated fully in property survey, pillar re-establishment
survey, layout surveys, topographic survey, building setting out survey and road survey. I practically learnt how to
use theodolite, handheld GPS, Total Stations, and Differential GPS. I learnt and used the following softwares:
AutoCad, Autodesk Land Desktop, ArcGis, Surfer 9, ILWIS, and Transfo. I now do survey computation of all types
and personally plot Plan, process, acquire beacon numbers and register land in Ministry of Land.
All these broad acquisitions were achieved under Good Value Geoinformation Consult, 32 Edinbur Ogui
Newlayout Enugu, where I did my six months SIWES attachment. The company is a private surveying firm
registered with SURCON and Corporate Affairs Commission since 2012. Good Value Geoinformation Consult is
specialized in handling projects/consultancy services such as Land Development (Layout Survey), Property Survey,
Engineering Surveys, Route Survey, Dredging, Erosion Surveys, GIS/Mapping surveys and training/pupilage of
graduate surveyors.
This report is on some of the major projects we did during my six months SIWES Attachment with the Company.
However I was allowed to work with some of the companys pupil surveyors so as to gather wide range of
experience in the different areas of surveying.

CHAPTER ONE
PROPERTY SURVEY FOR REV. CHRISTOPHER ANOKE AT NCHATANCHA, NIKE, ENUGU STATE
1.1.0 INTRODUCTION
Property survey involves the spatial determination of the boundaries of a particular area of land by traversing with
survey instruments (compass, theodolite, total station, handheld GPS, or DGPS), establishing monuments (beacons),
producing the plan of the land and its registration for the Clients acquisition of Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).
Property survey must be executed on the land before the owner can have legal right of ownership. Owners of a land
are diverse. A land can be owned by a single individual, a family, an organization, a community and/or the
government. It is acquired by inheritance or purchase.
Generally before a permanent development and/or purchase are made on the land, a property/cadastral/land survey
must be carried out on it by a land Surveyor. The reasons are to legally register the land to the ministry of land
(evidence of legal property right), to determine the area of the land for the purpose of planning, development and to
prevent intruders (monumented beacons round the land boundary).
It is this kind of Survey that we did for Rev. Christopher Anoke for his purchased Land in Nchatancha Nike, Enugu
North Local Government Area of Enugu State. The land is only one Plot which he purchased from an inherited
indigene of Nchatancha. The survey was done according to Enugu State SURCON specification in which a plots
dimension is 60 x 100 in feet or 18.3 x 30.5 in meters and a minimum area of 558 square meters. We used 18.3m
x 30.50m dimension.
1.2.0 AIM OF THE PROJECT
To carry out land Survey in order to:
To run a loop traverse round the particular land.
Establish Beacons on the corners of the land.
-
17
NWANKWO JEPHTHAH T.K 2009/167372
Produce the survey plan of the survey.
Register the land to the ministry of land and housing.
Process for the acquisition of Title Deed (Certificate of Ownership)
1.3.0 LOCATION OF THE LAND
The land is located along Nchatanta main road in Nchatancha Nike, Enugu East Local Govt. Area Enugu State
1.4.0 CLIENT
The client is Rev. Christopher Anoke.
1.5.0 DATE, TIME AND WEATHER CONDITION
The survey was done on 5th
of July 2013. It started by 10pm and ended by 2pm and the weather was bright and
clement.
1.6.0 SIZE OF THE SURVEY
The land is only a plot covering an Enugu SURCON stipulated area of 558sq.meters.
1.7.0 CATEGORY OF THE SURVEY: the survey is categorized under Cadastral Survey.
1.8.0 ORDER OF THE SURVEY: It is a third order survey.
1.9.0 PLANNING AND MOBILIZATION
1.10.0 PLANNING
1.10.1 RECONNAISSANCE
Prior to the day of the survey, the client Rev Christopher took us to the land. We walked round the area and fixed
signal plant on the boundaries. We then moved round looking for connection beacons and fortunately we found four
-
18
NWANKWO JEPHTHAH T.K 2009/167372
established beacons of which we chose two and extra one beacon for in-situ check with beacon numbers of
SC/ENW3878P, SC/ENW3879P and SC/EN3880.
1.10.2 INSTRUMENT TEST
The Theodolite had to be checked to confirm its suitability and accuracy. The theodolite (Kern A1-K), which was
used underwent the three-points (three peg test) observation method of checking. The instrument was set at a point
(Z) and three distant Ranging Poles were sighted to, and a reading was taken sighting to A, and then to B; a reading
was also taken sighting to B first and then to C; the last reading was taken sighting A, to C, directly; the angles were
reduced and we had the following results:
A B
Z
C
Angle A-B=85 13 35
B-C= 89 44 25
A-C = 174 57 59
A-B 85 13 35
+ B-C 89 44 25
(A-B) + (B-C) 17458 00
- (A-C) 17457 59
000 00 01
This is a difference of one second, (01); the same check was carried out on face right and we had consistent results.

1.10.3 STEEL TAPE CALIBRATION
The fifty metre (50m.) steel tape used was calibrated in front of the office under normal temperature and pressure,
and the error was +0.002. This was always applied in the field especially where a long line was measured. A
permanent two fixed points of known length was used for the calibration.
1.10.4 IN-SITU CHECK
By in-situ check, I mean the process of investigating whether the beacons are still in place or tampered with. We
made use of the angles and distances computed from the connection co-ordinates supplied to us, to check whether
they agree with our angular measurements and the distances we measured on the ground. We used three beacons and
they include SC/ENW3878P, SC/ENW3879P and SC/EN3880P.
This check was carried out before we started the survey and the summary of the in-situ check is given below:
We set over SC/ENW3878P and back-sighted SC/ENW3879P and turned 162 38 15 to hit SC/EN 3880P. The
next setting was over SC/EN 3879P back-sighted to SC/EN3880P and turned to SC/EN3878, we measured an angle
of 186 16 20.This was done setting over SC/EN3880P and had the angle as 264 43 41. This differs from the
angle calculated from the plan bearings and distances, we went on with our measured value. The results are shown
thus:
SC/EN3879P to SC/EN3880P Measured: 162 38 15
Calculated: 162 38 11
Difference: 000 00 04
SC/EN3880P to SC/EN3878PMeasured: 186 16 20
Calculated: 186 16 13
Difference: 000 00 07
SC/EN3878P to SC/EN3879P Measured: 51 39 20
Calculated: 51 39 22
Difference: 000 00 02

1.12.0 DATA ACQUISITION / METHODOLOGY
1.12.1 TRAVERSING
A traverse survey is one in which the framework consists of series of connected lines whose distances and bearings
are determined by measurement. A traverse can either be closed or open. Traversing is a major aspect of this work
and which we observed. We ran a loop traverse.
Typically, the field method involves the sequential clockwise surveying from known (connection) points to
unknown (boundary) points and close back to a starting known (connection) point thereby forming a loop traverse.
Cutting of lines, chaining and burying of beacons at the newly established points and finally writing beacon
numbers on the buried beacons.
Below is the detailed description of the field work.
We set instrument on connection beacon SC/ENW3879P, back-sighted and zero on SC/ENW3878P,
foresighted at P1 and clamped. We cut the line, measured the distance, buried its beacon, retook the
distance and the face left and face right readings were observed and all recorded in the field book.
We set instrument on Beacon 1 back-sighted and zero on SC/EN3879P, foresighted on P2 and clamped.
We cut the line, measured the distance, buried its beacon, the face left and face right readings were
observed, retook the distance and all recorded in the field book.
We set instrument on Beacon2, back- sighted and zero on beacon1, foresighted on P3 and clamped. We
cut the line, measured the distance, buried its beacon, retook the distance and the face left and face right
readings were observed, and all recorded in the field book.
We set instrument on Beacon3, back-sighted and zero on Beacon2, foresighted on poin4 and clamped.
We cut the line, measured the distance, buried its beacon, retook the distance and the face left and face
right readings were observed and all recorded in the field book.

NWANKWO JEPHTHAH T.K 2009/167372
We set instrument on Beacon4, back-sighted and zero on Beacon3, foresighted on SC/ENW3879P and
clamped. We cut the line, measured the distance, and the face left and face right readings were
observed, and all recorded in the field book.
Then finally we set on SC/ENW3879P, back-sighted and zero on beacon4, foresighted on
SC/ENW3878P, measured the distance, the face left and face right readings were observed, and all
recorded in the field book.
1.13.0 MONUMENTATION
Beacons served as monuments in this project. We buried the beacons during traversing. There are two types of
beacons: government beacons and property/layout beacons. We used property beacons in this project.
The beacons consist of a mixture of cement, sand, and gravel, in the ratio of 1: 8:10 respectively with water. It
consists of 40mm nail, punched in the centre of its top. It is molded firmly into the beacon to form the point to be
bisected during traversing. The dimension of the beacon is as follows.
Length of cross section = 18cm.
Width of cross section = 18cm.
Height of the beacon = 75cm.
The beacons are buried in clockwise direction and for utmost accuracy; they are aligned with the instrument. They
are positioned to face the next beacon in clockwise direction according to the shape of the block. Finally the beacons
are buried in such a way that the ratio of (50cm) is buried on the ground while (25cm) is made to project
above the ground. Similarly beacon numbers are written with well mixed mortar carved on the beacon. The numbers
are written in such a way that they face the direction of the next beacon according to the clockwise direction (shape)
of the land.

1.14.0 DATA PROCESSING
1.14.1 TRAVERSE COMPUTATION
In property survey, data processing involves, angular reduction, traverse computation, drafting and printing of the
plan. Below is the detailed description of data processing of the survey.
1.14.2 ANGULAR REDUCTION/ADJUSTMENT
Angular reduction involves adjusting the angles into reduced angle, mean angle and adjusted angle.
Reduced angle is done for the face right angle - reducing it to be close to the face left angle. The formula is
FR Angle - BS Angle (if FR angle >180d) or FR Angle + 360d BS Angle (if FR Angle

1.17.0 ACCURACY
In this survey, we made sure that the accuracy in length is maintained. We endeavored to chain in horizontal
direction. Also we measured accurately 18.30m length and 30.50m width. And we were able to get the area of
563.062Sq.M which is above 558Sq.m SURCON plot size specification for Enugu state lands.
Also we made sure that the traverse is closed by adjusting the misclosure.
(2n+4)90d = (2(5) +4)90d=1260d 0000 and Total Angle =1259d5608
Misclosure=1260 00 00 1259 56 08 = 00 03 52
We used this second formula ( M/TMA) X (PA + PA). The final adjusted angles: 65 08 10 + 204 18 53 + 269 58 34
+ 270 22 05 + 259 04 03 + 191 08 15=12600 00 00.
However sometimes it will misclose by 1 which is acceptable because of human imperfections (errors) which
cannot be totally eliminated. Also the third order minimum misclosure is not adhered by most surveyors. The
formula is 30 Where n is the number of instrument points. For our work, n = 5. 30 =00 01 7.08.
Finally we made sure that the coordinates are accurate by adjusting the coordinate.
The formula is: ( LCC-OC/TS) x IS +or - PC.
where LCC is Last Computed Coordinate, OC is Original Coordinate where the computation started from
(Connection Coordinate),
TS is Total Sum,
IS is individual Sum of each point and
PC is individual Point Coordinate. You add if the LCC-OC Value is negative or subtract if its positive.
However another alternative is to adjust the latitudes and departures using Bowditch rule, but we didnt use that
method.
1.18.0 CONCLUSION
The survey was successful and the aims were realized.

CHAPTER TWO
ROAD PRELIMINARY SURVEY FOR THE DUALIZATION OF A SECTION OF ABAKALIKI ENUGU
ROAD FROM KM60-KM66, ABAKALIKI, EBONYI STATE
2.0.0 INTRODUCTION
Road preliminary survey is a type of Route Survey done to acquire the data that will be used to design the road and
most importantly it is done to show the extent and direction of the road. This data is acquired and presented in form
of plan and they include Longitudinal Profile, Cross section and details. This preliminary survey prepares the way
for the setting out of the designed road and full construction. The major need of this survey is for Planning and
decision making. It helps the civil Engineer, to know the length of the road, the topography of the land, the extent
mapped-out width of the road area (Right of Way) and the man -made and natural features that exist within the road
area (details). These data helps the Civil Engineer, to design the best direction of the road, the best height (level) the
road will be, the types and number of curves, the number of bridge and culverts and the number of detailed
properties ( buildings, electric poles, fences, OFC (Optical Fibre Cable) that will be removed from the Road site.
Also Controls/Benchmarks are established which will be used during and after the road construction.
It is this survey that we did for JILL Engineering on their Road contract at Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. The contract is
to first design the road starting from the end of already dualized Road, opposite PDP headquarters before ahiaohuru
market to the front of Ebonyi State University, Ishieke Campus Gate. This area covers 6km. The contract was
awarded to JILL by Ministry of Transportation, Abuja.

2.11.0 PLANNING
2.11.1 RECONNAISSANCE
The manager of JILL, Engr Okeoma, took us to the road site. We first stopped where the project will stop because
we were coming from Enugu. Then from there we drove down to where it will start. We stopped on the way to see
the bridge. We worked about 30m away from the road to see the nature of the river. When we reached origin, we
determined the best position to cast origin benchmark and its reference.
We discussed with the manager and he gave us specifications for the survey. He told us to use 25m interval for
profile and 20m right of way for cross section at every 50m interval. And to establish benchmark and it reference at
every one kilometer which is in according to the federal governments road project specification. Finally due to the
busy nature of the road, we chose to measure and write the chainages by the side of the road.

2.13.0 METHODOLOGY
2.13.1 ROAD SURVEY PROCEDURE
2.13.2 RUNNING OF CHAINAGES
According to the Consultant specification, we are to run the profile in 25m interval and 50m interval in cross section
and in 20m left and 20m right (Right Of Way)
So the chainage started from Origin. The origin was formed with a bottle cover and a nail. We came to the centre of
the road, fix the counter use harmer and thrust the nail across the middle of the counter till it entered the ground and
balanced with the road floor. We used the red paint and brush and circled it and wrote 0+000.
The back chainman placed his pole on top of 0+000 and the front chain man moved with the tape and measured 25m
and the sweeper, will sweep out the sands while the writer will come and write 0+025. Then the back chain main
man will come to 0+025 while the front chainman will from there measure another 25m and the writer will come
and write 0+050. This is how we continued measuring and writing till we reached 0+975 then the next measurement
we wrote was 1+000. We started from there and reached 2+000, 3+000, 4+000, 5+000 and 6+000. But we added
extra 100m, so the chainage stopped at 6+100m.
We fixed and wrote on the wooden pegs in sandy areas where the paint cant show or where it will be easily cleared.
But normally in non-existing road preliminary surveys, pegs are used but you can write on the tar if its motor-able

road likes ours. Also you can write the chainage distances on the walls and electric poles on inhabited areas like
streets. Chainage took us a whole day.
2.13.4 ESTABLISHMENT OF CONTROLS/BENCHMARKS
We casted 3D benchmark which consist of X, Y, Z. This was possible with the use of differential GPS. With it there
is no need of transfer of control rather the DGPS will determine the datum of the casted monuments. The controls
were casted with square plank frame of about one ruler height. You mix the concrete, place the frame on a very level
surface, fix a rod at the centre and cast it till it levels with the frame. At 0+000 (origin) we established two
benchmarks- the master control and its reference. The reference serves as a back-sight both during the setting out
survey and transfer of height (leveling). Then at every one kilometer (1+000, 2+0000 ) we established likewise.
The benchmark is established about 10m away from the road area where it cannot be tampered with. Below is the
picture of the benchmark.

2.14.0 CUTTING OF LINES
The mapped out road site width area was meant to be 40m. That means 20m left and 20m right of way from the
longitudinal profile chainage point. So at every 50m interval we paced and cut the ROW lines till we covered 20m.
We cut all the cross section points till we covered 6+100km road area. We didnt cut profile line because its not a
virgin road (i.e. not bushy).

2.15.0 DATA ACQUISITION
Ashtech DGPS was used in the data acquisition process. The master station was mounted on BM1 and the Rover
was used to pick the points. The sequence of data acquisition is: profile leveling, cross section leveling and detailing.
Below is the master station.
-
38
NWANKWO JEPHTHAH T.K 2009/167372
2.15.1 PROFILE
The profile data was picked at every 25m chainage interval with the ROVER. The rover was configured thus:
File name: Profile leveling
File Code: 30001 (hint if master station is 3000, then rover will be 3001)
Coordinate system: vertical
Time range: 20secs.
The profile leveling data acquisition started from chainage 0+000. The stylus is used to select the log icon on the
rover GPS. Then you hold it making sure the plumb bulb levels correctly until the 20secs elapses. We picked from
0+000 till we reached 6+100. Profile leveling took us a whole day.
2.15.2 CROSS SECTION
The cross section data was picked at every 50m interval. It was done by pacing but technically, data was picked at
every 5m pacing till the 20m is covered. You do this at one side of the road and go to other side and do likewise. The
same configuration that was used in profile leveling was used in cross section but the file name was changed to cross
section leveling. It took us two days.
Below is the picture of cross section data acquisition.

NWANKWO JEPHTHAH T.K 2009/167372
2.15.3 DETAILLING
Man-made features that were within the survey area were picked as details. These features include electric poles,
underground Telecommunication cables (OFC), walls, culverts, filling stations, shops, generator plant stations, etc.
when picking any of the features we change the file name to the name of the particular feature in other to avoid
confusion during the data processing. At culvert feature, the coordinate system was changed to invert because its
the depth that is required. It was during detailing that I found out that high way electric poles are 50m apart.
2.16.0 BRIDGE/RIVER SURVEY
The essence of bridge survey during preliminary road surveys is to determine the meandering shape/area of the river
and its depth. This information helps the civil engineer to design the best dredging/draining method and then for new
bridge construction. Before the beginning of the survey we first recorded the date, time, and weather of the day.
Below are the detailed procedures of how we did the bridge survey.
2.16.1 SHAPE OF THE RIVER
We used the rover to pick the edges of the bridge beams so as to acquire the length of the bridge. Then we also
picked the two side corners of the bridge till we paced a distance of 50m away from the road. These when
downloaded and processed will produce the shape and coverage/area of the river.
2.16.2 DEPTH OF THE RIVER
We used the conventional method since we dont have echo sounder. We used tape to measure the length of the
bridge and then determine the center and made mark there. Then we tied a long rope to a heavy gyming round rod.
From that center mark we gradually propelled the rod inside the river till it touched the river floor. The confirmation
is when it starts bouncing like ball; it shows it has reached the bottom. Then we used marker and made point on the
thread where it coincided with the center bridge mark. We removed it and then measured the distance between
thread mark to the gyming rod. We got 30.54m.

2.16.3 RIVER AVERAGE WATER LEVEL
We inserted the rod until it coincides with the surface of the water and we marked the corresponding thread point.
We removed it and measured and got 15.30m. Then we looked at the bridge to see marks of water level. We
measured it and got 14.45m. We added 15.30+14.45 =29.75/2 = 14.875m
(Hint: the local method has been in practice before the advent of modern method and it is said to be a little bit less
accurate to the later)
2.16.4 DIRECTION OF FLOW
We measured the water levels of the two sides of the bridge. One is 15.30m while the other is 18.05m. So we
concluded that the river flows in 15.30m direction.
2.17.0 DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION
2.18.0 DATA PROCESSING
The DGPS process the data itself using the radio signal program and we downloaded them using the wire cable into
the computer. The importation into autoCAD was done bit by bit. The profile was download and joined before cross
section and then details. These were done to avoid confusion and mistakes.
2.19.0 PRESENTATION
The acquired information was presented in form of plans. There is profile plan, cross section plan, detail plan and
bridge survey plan. I was only given the longitudinal profile and cross section plan. Below are the plans.

2.20.0 ACCURACY
Strict care was taken while picking the points data. We maintained time interval of 20secs for profiles, cross section,
details and bridge survey and 4mins for Benchmarks and References. Ashtech DGPS will calculate and bring out the
average as the single point data. Since it picks point at 1sec, that means it will make 20 observation at one point and
bring out the average. For Benchmarks it will be 240 observations and it will average it and bring out single result
as the dimension for that point. With this method we maintained a very high accuracy throughout the survey.
2.21.0 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
The traffic made it very dangerous during chainage and profile data acquisition. In order to avoid vehicle jamming
any of us, we used leaves to block road both at front and back and some workers used it to be signaling, slowing and
directing vehicles.
2.22.0 CONCLUSION
With the advent of high technological survey equipment like DGPS, Road survey projects are now more accurate,
less stressful and faster.

CHAPTER FOUR
BUILDING SETTING OUT SURVEY FOR COLLEGE OF EDUCATION IKWO PROPOSED
LABORATORY BUILDING, IKWO EBONYI STATE
3.0.0 INTRODUCTION
Building setting out survey is an engineering type of survey that involves establishing on the ground, the engineers/
architects plan design of a building and Engineering /construction designs.
In the construction/Engineering Sector, it is the duty of a surveyor to set out the project master plans be it road,
airport, tunnel, Dam, Reservoir, Electricity Power-line, Bridge designs, etc.
Setting out warrants much carefulness in accurately measuring the exact angles/bearings, distances, slopes or
elevations as indicated in the Site plan.
It is exactly this special engineering survey that we went to ESCE ikwo in Ebonyi State to execute for our Client- Jill
Engineering. We were given the site plan and were instructed to set out only the outside columns (corners) of the
building.
3.1.0 AIM OF THE SURVEY
To exactly set out (peg) the column positions of the building at the specified designed space within the building
mapped out area.
3.2.0 LOCATION OF THE SURVEY
The laboratory building is beside the auditorium of Ebony state college of Education Ikwo in Ebonyi state.
3.3.0 DATE DURATION AND WEATHER CONDITION
The survey was done on Tuesday 24th
September 2004. It was a day work. It started around 11:30am and ended by
4pm. The weather was sunny on that day.
3.4.0 SIZE OF THE SURVEY: The mapped out area covers about three plots with the area of 1774.658 square
meters.
3.5.0 ORDER OF SURVEY: Third Order Survey

3.7.0 PLANNING AND MOBILIZATION
3.8.0 PLANNING
3.8.1 RECONNAISSANCE
Before the setting out survey, we went to the site and extended control from the nearby school perimeter beacons
round the site mapped out boundary. Established five controls namely EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4 and EB5. These
boundary controls are what will be used to perform all types of survey within the building site. Then since we are to
use the modern setting out method which is called the RAY METHOD, we chose EB5 as our instrument point and
EB1 as our back-sight (Reference) point.
The site has already been cleared by the companys bulldozer and the terrain is flat, therefore there was no need for
transfer of height (leveling). The area of the land is 1774.658m while the area of the building is 1352.910m.
3.8.2 BUILDING PLAN GEOREFERENCING
For Ray method to be used to set out buildings, the building plan must be georerenced into the Site boundary plan.
There are two method of doing this.
First, one is to scan the building plan which will contain the surrounding land and then perform rubber sheating on
the boundary points of the land in order to have accurate coordinates. Second method is done by copying with base
point, the building plan into the site land plan if the raw file (soft copy) of both the land survey and building plan are
available. The accuracy of georeferencing during building or design setting out determines the accuracy of the
setting out survey. The area of the land will determine, the landscaping design of the available land after the building
area is covered. So due to the area of the land, the architect mapped out 20m front space, for exterior designs and
walk-way. However the building was centralized and the space for laboratory plants plantation was well designed.
Below is the georeferenced site plan which we used to set out the building.

3.8.4 SCALLING OUT THE RAYED POINTS ANGLES AND DISTANCES
In order for us to be able to stay at one point and fix all the column positions , we must ray from our instrument
point to all the column points and copy out the given point lines angle and distance. We labeled the columns
alphabetically from A, B, C, D, E..K. We rayed from EB5 to all the labeled column points. Raying means
drawing line from instrument point to those column points. Copying the angles and distances of each line is achieved
when you double click on each line and a mini property window will display, you scroll down to see the angle and
distance of that line. At each line you double click, scroll and copy out its distance and angle. Below are the rayed
lines of the building plan.

3.11.0 METHODOLOGY
We used ray method because of the digital instrument we used for the project. We didnt use manual traverse
method.
3.11.1 BUILDING SETTING OUT FIELD PROCEDURE
We set total station on EB5 back-sighted EB1 and set the line angle to 195d 3738. With the reflector
properly focused, we measured the distances and it corresponded to 83.85m which is the same with the plan
distance
Then from the clamped Telescope focused on EB1 we turned instrument angle to 181d 13 01. With the
reflector man pacing, we measured 49.230m and peg column A.
From column A we shifted the angle to 181d 0010 measured 59.750m and peg column B. we used tape
with pole and measured the distance between column A and B and it gave 10.520m which is the plans
distance.
We turned the instrument angle until it was reduced to 165d 5104 and measured 57.090m and peg column
C. we taped the distance between column B and C and it gave us 15.630m which is corresponding with the
plan dimension.
We increased the angle to 167d 0130 and measured 62.150m and peg column D. we taped their distance
between CD and it was correct.
We continued with this method until we established column E, F, G, H, I, J and K.
The site Engineer later came and confirmed that our work was perfect before we called it a day for the work.
3.12.0 ACCURACY CHECK
Before the main survey began we, verified if the angles and distances were correct. We mounted instrument on EB5
back-sighted and set its own angle of 195d 37 38 then we turned 181d 1301 measured 49.230m and pegged
column A . We turned another 181d 00 10, measured 59.750m and pegged column B. we measured the distance
between column A and B and it gave us 10.520m which is exactly the same with the plan dimension. This gave us
the confidence to start the survey proper.
3.13.0 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
The Engineers dimensions are always in millimeters (mm). It gave us stress in converting the dimensions to meters
anytime we want to take a reading.
3.14.0 CONCLUSION
The aim of the survey was achieved: the column pegs were accurately established on the ground and the carpenters
will start the profile the next day.

CHAPTER FIVE
TOPOGRAPHIC/CONTOUR SURVEY FOR ENG. HILLARY BUILDING SITE AT INDEPENDENCE
LAYOUT, ENUGU
4.0.0 INTRODUCTION
Topographic survey is carried out on a parcel of land in other to determine the lands elevation and depression. The
topography of the land is needed to be accurately determined when engineering projects like building, dam, road,
pipeline, stadium, airport, etc are to be executed on the land.
At our project site, a hotel was planned to be erected. The topography of the site was sloppy, hence the need for a
topographic survey to produce the contour map of the terrain which will help to determine the level of cut and fill
and the level of the foundation.
4.1.0 AIM OF THE SURVEY
To accurately carry out contour survey and produce the contour plan of the site. And also to determine the boundary
and the area of the land.
4.2.0 LOCATION OF THE SURVEY
The proposed hotel site is located at Owerri Ani Street behind UNTH Quarters. It is opposite Osisatech Girls
Secondary School, Independence Layout Enugu.
4.3.0 CLIENT
Our client is Engr. Hillary Odoh
4.4.0 DATE, TIME AND WEATHER CONDITION
The survey lasted for four days. It started on 24th
July and ended 28th
July 2013. Each day we start at about 9am and
end 5pm. The weather was dull and humid because of the rainy season period.

4.7.0 PLANNING AND MOBILIZATION
4.8.0 PLANNING
4.8.1 RECONNAISSANCE
We drove to the site before the survey day with our client and he took us round the land. Fortunately the site has
been bulldozed thereby eliminating cutting of lines. He instructed us to determine the boundary shape, the area of the
land and then use 10m interval (grid interval) to carry out the contour survey.
We also moved around to check if we can see an established benchmark but we found none. So the alternative was
for us to establish ours. Therefore we walked round the site and chose best positions to cast four 3D benchmarks.
The principle is to choose higher places that will create inter-visibility round the site.
4.8.2 CASTING OF BENCHMARKS
We mixed a 6 x 6 aggregate concrete and casted the four benchmarks on our chosen positions. A wooden rectangular
frame was placed on the ground and a spike rod was fixed at its center before the concrete was poured until it
reached the level of the frame. Trowel was used to settle and level the surface allowing a small protrusion of the
centre rod which serves as the survey point. The frame is carefully removed when the concrete has solidified.
The benchmarks consist of Easting, Northing and Height (X, Y, Z coordinate). The benchmark serves as instrument
point and reference point hence its called a control point. You determine the parameters (X Y Z coordinates) with
survey instruments like DGPS, or hand held GPS. Then you set instrument on one of them and input its coordinate
in the total station and the back-sight man places the reflector on another benchmark and you back-sight and input its
coordinate before you can now start picking ground points anywhere within the survey area. It works with the same
survey principle of working from known point to unknown points.
Below is the diagram of the 3D benchmark.

4.8.3 FIXING OF PERIMETER PEGS
We fixed rod pegs at strategic points round the survey boundary starting from the edges. These pegs serves as a
guide to land extent (survey area) and also they can serve as a control or reference points during future survey. We
acquired their positions (coordinates) during the data acquisition process.
4.8.4 FIXING OF GRID PEGS
Similarly we fixed three major grid lines. We divided the site into three horizontal lines and we used the instrument
to align and fix the pegs. Then at each peg we measure 10m, align with poles and fixed another peg. This we
continued till we covered the length of the land. We did likewise on the other two pegs. By this method we divided
the land into three major longitudinal/ vertical lines and many horizontal grid lines. The intermediate 10m interval
points was done by pacing after properly aligning our reflector poles to the three major aligned peg poles at each
line. This method was successful during the data acquisition proper.

4.11.0 DATA ACQUISITION
5.11.1 DETERMINATION OF THE BENCHMARK 3D COORDINATES
The benchmark coordinates was determined with Ashtech DGPS. The master was mounted on BM1. Its time range
was set to four (4) minutes. DGPS picks data at every 1sec so we chose 4 acquisition range so as to give us a very
accurate final average result. With 4 minutes it will make 240 observations and bring out the average as the
coordinate of that point. Also the Rover was configured same and we waited till there was enough reception
(signal) before the rover was used to acquire the remaining three benchmarks. We planned to use DGPS to pick the
Grid data but due to fluctuating/poor reception, we decided to use total station. Below are the X, Y, Z coordinates of
the four benchmarks.

4.11.3 PERIMETER/BOUNDARY SURVEY
The clients instruction was to produce the boundary plan with its area and then produce the topographic/contour
plan. So we first ran the perimeter survey before we began the topo survey proper. It was done with 10m pacing
interval in clockwise direction. We set total station on BM2 back-sighted BM1 then the two reflector men set the
rod height to 2.15m. The first stood at A1 peg faced the instrument and the point was picked while the next
following the boundary fence paced 10m and did likewise. This method was done until we picked round the
boundary. The file was saved as topo perimeter and below is the data table.

4.11.5 GRID POINTS DATA ACQUISITION
Having established the grid pegs we aligned poles on each of the line. Then we began to pick the grid data at each
10m pacing interval aligning the reflector pole with the lines aligned ranging poles. We set the reflector pole height
at 2.15m constant and at each point we align and face the reflector to the total station telescope and the instrument
man will pick the point and command us to move to the next point.

4.12.0 DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION
4.13.0 DATA PROCESSING
The DGPS gave the accurate true XYZ coordinates of our established benchmarks and as such the total station data
were directly the true geoidal mean sea level dimensions of the points. So we didnt reduce the data unlike where
Level instrument was used. However, the data was downloaded and saved in excel. They were saved as command
separated value (.csv) and in Easting Northing and Height (E,N,Z) format. The perimeter data was imported into
Autodesk and was joined. While the surfer 9 adjusted the grid points before generating the contour map. The plans
were printed with scale of 1:1000. Below is the Grid Report file.
