Course abstract

Practice topographic surveying; surface leveling and leveling design; demarcation and surveying of the road route, compilation and design of profiles therein; setting the axes of the construction object; various geodetic works in the construction process.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knows the types of work in the geodetic survey of linear structures, compilation and design of graphic materials for surface leveling.
Construction site marking chamber works and marking in nature.
Is able to use the acquired theoretical knowledge in practice, guided by the given task in specific terrain conditions, to work carefully and accurately both independently and in a team, to draw up measurement documents in accordance with the set requirements. Evaluate the impact of their professional activities on the environment and society, critically evaluate their knowledge and skills, the need for further education, be responsible for the quality of their work.
The assessment of skills is tested by completing a practice report on the performed geodetic works and defending the study practice.
