Surveying Laboratory

SURVEYING LABORATORY

This Laboratory is housed in the Basement – 1 of the Library Building of North South University. The Surveying Laboratory has the instruments and tools that students use throughout the surveying course. Surveying laboratory is equipped with Total station, Digital Theodolite, Digital and Automatic Level, GPS, other common surveying tools and ancillary equipments. All the optical instruments have origin of Japan. Students learn techniques about how to gather field data and use them for preparing maps with both traditional and modern instruments on a week-long field survey program.

Facilities of this Laboratory:

This laboratory is widely able to give the following facilities for UG teaching and research purposes.

Sl.No. Name of the experiment
1 A small plot is to be surveyed by chain surveying.
2 A small area is to be surveyed by plane table surveying.
3 Elevation of different points on the ground is to be calculated to draw a Contour map.
4 A small area is to be surveyed by tachometry.
5 Height of a building/tower is to be measured by trigonometric leveling.
6 A small plot bounded by a polygon is to be surveyed by theodolite traversing.
7 A simple circular curve is to be set in the field.
