When I am called for a quack work ,the is my favorite song(I am unavailable)....why will a surveyor after spending 5 good years in school,1 year of NYSC ,pass through Surcon exams ,maybe have his/her master's degree and PHD..

It will be just an illiterate from no where, will tell you what to do,due to you need the money,you will foolishly accept the job...

Surveyors forgets that the deal with land and land is the most powerful thing on earth because everyone walks on land, which when the omen wants to come and back fire you,you can't run away from it...

Surveyors let's always follow the due process and leave quack job...

Total Station

A total station is an electronic theodolite and an electronic distance meter ( EDM ). This combination makes it possible to determine the coordinates of a reflector by aligning the instrument’s cross hairs on the reflector and simultaneously measuring the vertical and horizontal angles and slope distances.

A microprocessor in the instrument takes care of recording, readings and the necessary computations. The data is easily transferred to a computer where it can be use to generate a map.

What Is a Surveying Control Point?

A surveying control point is a mark or monument that has an established horizontal and vertical position by way of being surveyed and is identifiable on the ground.

Control points are established, managed, maintained and replaced by surveyors and are created at the start of any land development or civil construction project.

Surveying control points are very important and once established, need to be protected from being damaged or disturbed. If they do get disturbed and moved from their original surveyed position, a new survey will need to be completed to re-coordinate its new position.

A destroyed permanent survey control mark that can’t be used anymore.

How to Decide Where to Place Survey Control Stations?

When surveying new control on a site the following should be considered before deciding where to place them:
Will it be clear of future works?
It is accessible?
Are there going to be any obstructions placed around the control mark (like fencing)?
If you are going to place a GPS/GNSS base station on the control mark, are there any GPS window obstructions?
You won’t always be able to put in the perfect marks when installing new survey control, sometimes you will place survey control knowing that it will eventually get destroyed. But if you consider the above list then that should assist you in deciding where to place your survey control.
