Surveying is definedas a method of determining the relative position of the points on, above, or below the earth’s surface by taking direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction, and elevation. Two types of measurements are taken in surveying:  Linear measurements angular measurements. There are different types of surveying equipment used in civil engineering such as Chain, Theodolite, dumpy level, cross–staff, plane table, ranging road, measuring tapes, etc.        Importance of Surveying Planning and design of all civil engineering projects require measurements from surveying. Execution of work needs surveying too […]
