Setting out engineer course

Site engineering training

During this course you will learn how to:

Set up a total station.
View, edit, add and delete data
Install accurate primary control points from scratch (traverse)
Install accurate secondary control points (retro targets)
Use the total station for measuring and setting out reduced levels
Describe a range of methods for plumbing columns and walls
Set-up the position and orientation of the total station using the resection or occupied point programs
Take a topographical survey and record the results systematically
Set out points of known co-ordinates using the stake out function
Set out points in relation to a given line using measure to line function
Set out points at given chainages and offsets along a radius, e.g. road centerlines using the reference arc function
Measure irregular areas and volumes
Transfer large amounts of data from the total station to the computer and vice versa
Describe the capabilities and limitations of GNNS equipment
Describe the capabilities of robotic total stations
Set up a pipe laser for pipe installation
Set up a laser level for excavation, drainage works, and various construction duties
