Basic student question
Hi guys
I’m doing some coursework for my first year Land Survey course and would like to ask you all a quick question. I have to place some control stations on a site and then carry out of traverse. To make the exercise more realistic I’m going to do it at my Dad’s place and after doing the coursework I’d like to use the stations to do a detail survey of his land and house outline.
I’ll turn a few angles at each traverse station and adjust them. Then I’ll do the traverse calcs and make bearing and co-ordinate corrections.
I’d just like to ask a question or two on the positioning of the stations. By positioning a station (4 in total) on approximately each corner of his site they’ll be spaced out by about 45metres and will see each other. However when I come to do the detail work there’ll be a few areas on the site that won’t be seen by these four points. Should I have extra stations in the control set up so everything on the site (boundary and house) can be seen? This will mean some legs will be only 15 metres.
Or should I introduce a few temporary stations when I do the detail work that will enable me to see everything?
I hope I have explained myself properly.
Best regards, John
