JOB-2

To find the length of survey scheme lines by pacing.

22nd February, 2013.

Poles:

The poles are manufactured locally

These poles are used for ranging and to help the person to walk in a straight line. It is marked with
red and white line. Red part is to differentiate it from white background and white part is for red
background. These marking are of 1 foot each i.e. one foot of red color then 1 foot of white color.

  One should walk in exactly straight line
 If a person started walking with the toe at the starting point then he should end with the toe,
and if he/she started walking with a heal first then he should end with a heal.
 One should not walk in artificial manner. Walking should be in a natural way.
 Exact point for placing the poles should be found.

We get a plan as a result of surveying

When we started walking from one point to another in the ground, at some points it was very difficult
due to the wet mud and grass because of rain. Also at some points we have to walk in two parts as
there was a wall between the points. Some points were very close and the other were far away and
walking between them again and again was tiring. One of the points to fix pole that was in the
ground was real hard to find but we found it in the end. The sockets of the poles were filled with mud
and we had to clean it before plugging it in the point.

Q- What is pace-length?

Answer- It is the length of 1 foot step while walking normally. It is the distance from heal to heal or
toe to toe.

Q- What is the end result of surveying?

Answer- The end result of surveying is a map or plan

Q- What is the end result of Leveling?

Answer- The end result of leveling is section

Q- How many yards and feet are there in one farlang?

Answer- there are 120 yards or 360 feet in one farlang.

Q- What do you mean by ranging?

Answer- Ranging is the process of straightening the line with the help of poles or ranging rods.
Q- What do you mean by datum line?
Answer- It is the imaginary line (at sea level) from where the height of places (cities) is measured. It
is at Karachi Kamandi.

Q- 3 yards in feet is equal to?

Answer- 3 yards are equal to 9 feet.

Q- In which units the length of some area is usually measured?

Answer- We generally use the SI units for length measurement i.e. meters

Q- Give the formula of pace length?

Answer- Pace length = AB length .

Average Pace

Q- Why we take the reading of a length twice?

Answer- We take the reading of a length twice to remove random error.
