Primary Classification
Division/ Category
Based upon the consideration of the shape of the earth,
surveying is broadly divided into two types.
1. Geodetic Surveying
2. Plane Surveying
Primary Classification
Division/ Category
This course is restricted to the different aspects of plane surveying. Henceforth, in this course work, the
word surveying implies plane surveying.
Secondary Classification
Classification based on Method
1. Triangulation surveying
2. Traverse surveying:
Classification based on Method
1. Chain survey
2. Compass survey
3. Plane table survey
4. Theodolite survey
5. Tacheometric survey
6. Photographic surveying
7. Electromagnetic distance management (EDM) surveying
8. Total-station surveying
9. Photogrammetric survey
10. Satellite-based survey/ GPS

Classifications based on Purpose
1. Planning:
● Deciding method/resource/control, points
2. Field Work:
● Collection of field data by making necessary measurements
● Recording of observed data in a systematic manner.
3. Office Works
● Processing, analysing and calculation of observed data;
● Making of a plan or map of the area
● Computation of relevant field parameters as per design
4. Setting out Works
● To locate and establish different parameters / dimensions at the
site as per design for further engineering works.
A satisfactory survey consists
● Field work.
● The field notes.
● The calculations.
● The permanent record.
REFERENCE
Explanation: Working whole to part
Let’s assume we need to locate point X. two reference
points A and B are selected as fixed points and the length
AB is accurately measured.
Fig 1.2 - Here the angular measurements XAB and XBA are
measured and plotting these angles protractor, the position
of X can be determined.
Fig 1.4- Here the angle XAB and distance AX are measured.
Then plotting angle XAB by protractor and extending the
length up to AX, the position of point X can be determined.
