AIM
Collecting of Digitally survey

data by total station for

designing by advance software
for achieving higher accuracy in
short time.

INTRODUCTION
1.
Total Station includes Theodolite, Electronic
distance measurement (EDM) & data recorders.
2.
We collect vertical & horizontal data in a single
operation. Data recorder can record information in
the
field to take
back to
the
office for
processing.
3.
Data recorders can also be used to download
previously determined data at the office for use in
the field to stake out or to locate construction
control
points & boundaries.
4.
We can also designed traditionally(manually),
data collected by the Total station in data recorders.

Role of Total Station in Preparation of

Highway DPR

In Highway Detail Project Report (DPR)

preparation. Total Station is used for
collection of all Survey data digitally.

Digitally collected survey Data further

transferred to a computer to create Digital
design model by any designing software.
Designed Data up loaded in Total Station
for further staking out on ground.

How Total Station works

Total Station collects all ground data in Three Dimensional
Format (Co-ordinate system).

Prior to collection of data, it requires at least two known points

(co-ordinates known), to set up the station.
After setting up the station it gives / collects the details of
points w.r.t. the two known points from the Station.
Total Station measures horizontal angles in WCB system
automatically from the assumed Meridian as worked in Station
set up and the Vertical angles from the Horizontal axis of the
instrument [above (+), below (-)].

. As this instrument gives all the engineering details of a station

/ point , the instruments has been named as Total Station.

Setting up the Tripod

Open the tripod legs enough to for the instrument
to stable.
Locate the tripod directly over the station point. To
the check tripod position look through the center

hole in the tripod head.

Firmly press the tripod ferrules into the ground.
Level the top surface of the tripod head.
Securely faster the thumb screws on the tripod
legs.
Place the Base plate on the tripod head
Tighten the tripod mounting screw.

LEVELING
Firstly level the base plate level by

tripod legs slide

Place the instrument on the base plate
and fixed by leveling base plate clamp
Loose the upper horizontal movement
plate clamp
Level by THREE LEGS METHOD

Conclusion

Every engineering project, surveying is

the first step of the execution of the success of
any engineering project. And it is based upon
the accurate and complete survey work prior to
commencement of project as well as during
execution and after completion.
Hence the survey by TOTAL STATION is
most important for accurate estimate in less
time and execution of work.
