How
to establish controls in Hydrographic Surveying
The
first step in making a hydrographic survey is to control both horizontal and
vertical.
Horizontal
Controls:
In
an extensive survey, the primary horizontal control is established primarily
by running theodolite and tape traverse before the triangulation station.
Tthe traverse lines being run to following the shore lines approximately. In
survey of less extent the primary horizontal control only is required and is
established by running a theodolite and tape traverse sufficiently close to
shore line. For rough work, the control may be established by running a
theodolite and staid traverse or plane table trader.
Stadia
Surveying:
The
distances are determined by angles there are stadia hairs from which angles
and all calculations are determined without change.
Vertical
Controls:
These
are based upon a series of bench marks established near the shore line by
spirit leveling and these serve for setting and checking tide gages etc to
which the sounding are referred.
Shore
Line Surveying:
Purpose:
To
determine the shore lines.
To
locate the shore details, promise topographical feature, light house, pointt
of reference etc.
To
determine the high and lower water lines for average spring. Both in please
and elevations in the case of tidal waters.
All
irregularities in the shore line as well as the shore details are located by
means of offsets measured with a tape form the traverse lines, by staid or
plane table.
The
points of reference should be dearly risible form the water and should be
near enough such wing mills, flag poles etc. buoys anchored off the shore and
light houses are used reference points.
The
position of the high water line may be judged roughly form deposits an marks
on rocks however to locate it accurately the elev of mean high water is
determined and point are located on the shore at that elevation. The line
connecting these points represent high water level.
