Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to land surveying, a practice that combines geometry and measurement to capture the physical features of land accurately, for engineering or construction projects, town planning, and real estate. It covers the historical context of surveying and provides detailed instructions on the theory and practice of surveying with chains and levels - important tools that enable surveyors to measure distances and angles with great accuracy. The book also discusses the importance of taking measurements correctly, capturing offsets - measurements taken at right angles to the chain line - and setting stations - points from which other lines can be measured. It offers practical advice on how to carry out these tasks efficiently and effectively, ensuring the accuracy of the survey. Throughout the book, the author emphasises the importance of precision and attention to detail, as even the smallest errors in measurement can have significant consequences for the success of any project that relies on accurate land surveying.
