Introduction to land surveying
1. Introduction to land surveying
Surveying is the technique for
determining the relative positions of
different features on, above or beneath
the surface of the earth by means of
direct or indirect measurements and
finally representing them on a sheet of
paper called Plan or Map.
Surveying (Definition)
According to the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM),
“Surveying is the science and art of making all essential measurements to
determine the relative position of points or physical and cultural details above,
on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to show them in a usable form, or
to establish the position of points or details.”
Uses of Surveying
1. To prepare a
topographical map ( ‫نقشہ‬
‫سازی‬, ‫جغرافیائی‬
‫مطالعہ‬ ) which
shows hills, valleys, rivers,
forests, villages, towns etc.
2. To prepare a cadastral
( ‫زمین‬
‫کی‬
‫پیمائش‬ ) map
which shows the
boundaries of fields,
plots, houses and other
properties.
Uses of Surveying
3. To prepare an engineering map which shows the position of engineering
works such as buildings, roads, railways, dams, canals.
4. To prepare a contour map to know the topography of the area to find out the
best possible site for roads, railways, bridges, reservoirs, canals, etc.
Uses of Surveying
5. Surveying is also used to prepare military map, geological map,
archaeological ( ‫آثار‬
‫قدیمہ‬ ) map etc.
6. For setting out work and transferring details from the map on the ground.

Primary Divisions of Surveying
We know that the shape of the earth is spheroidal ( ‫کرہ‬
‫نما‬ ). Thus the surface is
obviously curved. Surveying is primarily divided into two types considering the
curvature (‫)گوالئی‬ of the earth’s surface.
1. Plane Surveying
2. Geodetic Surveying
1. Plane Surveying
The plane surveying is that type of surveying in which earth surface is
considered as a plane and the curvature of the earth is ignored. In such
surveying a line joining any two stations is considered to be straight. The
triangle formed by any three points is considered as a plane triangle, and the
angles of the triangle are considered as plain angles.
Plane Surveying is carried out for a small area of less than 250 km2. The degree
of accuracy required in this type of surveying is comparatively low.
Primary Divisions of Surveying
2. Geodetic Surveying
The geodetic Surveying ( ‫علم‬
‫پیمائش‬
‫ارض‬ ) is that type of surveying in which the
curvature of the earth is taken into account. It is generally extended over larger
areas.
The line joining any two stations is considered as curved line. The triangle
formed by any three points is considered to be spherical and the angles of the
triangle are considered to be spherical angles. Geodetic surveying is conducted
for a larger area exceeding 250 km2

Fundamental Principles of Surveying
The two basic fundamental principles of surveying are;
1. Always work from whole to part
According to the first principle, the whole survey area is first enclosed by main
stations (i.e.. Control stations) and main survey lines. The area is then divided
into a number of divisions by forming well conditioned triangles.
2. To Work from part to the whole
To locate a new station by at least two measurements ( Linear or angular) from
fixed reference points
Fundamental Principles of Surveying
Classification of Surveying
Classification Based on Methods
a. Triangulation
Triangulation is basic method of surveying, when the area to be surveyed is
large, triangulation is adopted. The entire area is divided into network of
triangles.
b. Traversing
A Traversing is a circuit of survey lines. It may be open or closed. When the
linear measurements are done with a chain and a tape and the directions or
horizontal angles are measured with a compass or a theodolite respectively the
survey is called traversing.
