The Use of Various Land Survey Equipment.
Land surveying equipment refers to the tools used to perform the practice, profession and science of determining the three dimensional positions of a location. Apart from the determination of the dimensional position of land, land survey is also used in the determination of distance and the angle that exists between locations. A person who specializes in practicing surveying I referred as a land surveyor. Land surveying is carried out in order to establish maps and boundaries for ownership, surface location and other sub surface features which are demanded by the national government or by law during the sale of a given property. Land surveying has been made possible by the existence off elements like geometry physics and engineering metrology. The practice of land survey calls for the use of special purpose equipment such as thee AGS Trimble GPS which operate by the use of Trimble GPS units.
The art of land surveying has beginning existence from the beginning of recorded history. Land surveying has proved very necessary before the execution of any form of constructions. Land survey as prove some significance in transport, communication and also in research in scientific disciplines. There have been a great change in the equipment employed in the practice of land surveying as the equipment currently being employed are modernized. The revolution of land survey equipment have led to the discovery of the global positioning system which operates by providing the Geo location of a specified position. Transportation of survey equipment calls for use of shockproof casing or packaging materials to protect the equipment from vibration. It is advisable to retain the equipment in its original manufacturers packaging systems.
Land survey equipment are accompanied by operator’s manual which are meant to simplify the use of a given equipment. It is advised that a copy of the operator’s manual be filled in a surveys office as these manuals prove to be very critical when it comes to the operation and handling of surveying equipment. The manuals are very useful as they describe the instrument and also recommend cases when the equipment should be employed. Any given manual demands for careful reading before handling any equipment so as to avoid problems from the start.
Also the use of the various land surveying equipment calls for continuous care during and after use. It has been advised to always inspect for damages before sing any land surgery equipment. In the course of using a given the practice of frequent cleaning is normally carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.Surveying equipment, regular cleaning is recommended in order remove any accumulated dust which are likely to cause friction or uneven motion in the horizontal and vertical movements.
