Surveying is defined as taking a general view of, by
observation and measurement determining the boundaries, size, position,
quantity, condition, value etc. of land, estates, building, farms mines etc. and
finally presenting the survey data in a suitable form?. This covers the work of
the valuation surveyor, the quantity surveyor, the building surveyor, the mining
surveyor and so forth, as well as the land surveyor. This PDF covers the
following topics related to Surveying and Levelling : Introduction,
Classification on the Basis of Purpose, Classification of Surveyors, Branches of
Surveying, Reconnaissance, Basic Principles in Surveying, Chain Surveying,
Necessary Precautions in Using Chain, Errors in Surveying, Corrections to Linear
Measurement and their Application, Triangulation, General procedure, Overcoming
obstacles during chaining, Compass Surveying, The Prismatic Compass, Temporary
adjustment of prismatic compass, Surveyors Compass, Error in compass survey,
Levelling, Theodolite Traversing, etc.
