 IMPORTANT NOTES:
 Practical’s form an integral part of learning. Practical’s are specifically
designed to enhance student participation.
 All students must fully participate in prac work to fully grasp the theory aspects
and to develop their skills required for Industry/work place learning.
 Students who unfortunately do not participate will encounter problems and
will not have the practical skills to cope with higher level subjects in year 2 and
year 3 of the programme.
 There is an allocation of 3 periods Practical instruction per week.
 All Practical’s are conducted in a group including the project submission.
 It is compulsory for students to fully attend all practical sessions during the
semester. A penalty (-10%) will be applied for every practical session
not attended at the discretion of the lecturer concerned. (refer to study
guide).
 Great care and precaution must be taken with Survey apparatus. Any
student caught mishandling the equipment as a result of negligence or
misuse will be severely penalized and will have to pay for damages as a
result.
 Students are required to dress appropriately for the survey practical’s as they
will be working out in the veld. They recommended attire is jeans or long
pants for all students. No dresses, sandals and open shoes will be allowed.
Students must also carry a hat or cap when working outdoors and a water
bottle to remain hydrated as we are working in hot and humid conditions.
 Students must use the appropriate reflective gear (safety bibs/vests) when
working alongside roads and intersections. Traffic cones and red flags must
also be used accordingly. These are available from the storeroom.
 All students must abide by the institutions code of conduct. Any student
found guilty of ill-discipline and misconduct will be dealt with accordingly
and could face suspension from the University.
 All students must maintain strict social distancing of between 1.5m to 2m
apart as per Covid-19 regulations.
 All students must wear a mask at all times.
 All students must sanitize their hands regularly and disinfect frequently
touched surfaces and objects.
 Only one observer per setup and one booker per setup.
 There is departmental sub-minimum of 50% on the practical work which is one
of the compulsory requirements to gain admission into the exam.
 The breakdown of the practical’s are as follows:-

PRACTICAL EXERCISE FOR WEEK 1:

This basic exercise is ideal preparation for Project 1. Past experiences has shown that
some learners still experience difficulty in the basics of setting up the instrument,
setting and reading the horizontal circle, reading a vertical angle and recording the
observations in a methodical order in a field book.

In light of this, today’s task has been developed in preparation for the first project,
which will be conducted on the premises of the University of Kwa-zulu Natal
commencing next week.

Instruction – You are each required to carry out the following task:

• Set up and level the Total station over a ground peg.

• An arc of horizontal observations (CL and CR) must be carried out to a
minimum of at least 4 points excluding the R.O.
• Observe and record the vertical angle to at least one Trig point (CL and CR).
• Neatly book your observations in the required format.
• All relevant details must be indicated in your field book i.e. station name,
observer, booker, date, weather conditions, instrument number, instrument
height, serial no. etc.
• Reduce the field book observations (mean) and present the results to the
lecturer or technician for evaluation.

One person must carry out this task at a time and one booker will record the readings.
Thereafter after sanitizing the equipment and accessories, the next two will have an
opportunity and so on. You will be provided with a field book, and may request that
a group member assist with the booking. Once you have completed your
observations you must reduce the field book in your own time and present the results
to the lecturer or technician. Please ensure that all equipment borrowed is returned
to the storeroom.

 1.6 No copying from other groups is permitted. Each group must submit their own
reductions, and Trig heighting tabulations. If there is any evidence of copying
between groups, severe penalties will be imposed on the culprits and may
result in suspension from the University. (Refer to study guide)
1.7 The project must be typed. Marks will be deducted for untidy work.
1.8 Layout and presentation is essential. On completion the contents of the
project must be filed in the correct order.
1.9 We are fortunate to be using the venue and facilities of UKZN at their courtesy.
Any unruly or disruptive behaviour which discredits DUT or the department will
be totally unacceptable and disciplinary action which will be taken against
such individuals.

2. PRAC LOCATION:

DUT prac area / S- Block / Sports field

3. INSTRUCTIONS:

3.1 Each group must select and fix three points (DUT1, DUT2, DUT3, DUT4) by
backward heighting and one point (KI-HSE) by forward heighting, from DUT1,
DUT2, DUT3, DUT4.

3.2 You are required to measure the height of instrument (HI) at each station.

3.3 Pay careful attention to the rotational cycle.

3.4 Each pair of vertical circle left and vertical circle right observations is called a
"Set". The set for each point is completed before continuing to the next point.

3.5 One set of Vertical observations (circle left and circle right) should be recorded
to a minimum of four known points of known height. (e.g. ΔGlass, ΔEagle,
ΔHCT, ΔWoodls, AR1, AR2, AR3, AR4 etc.).

3.6 One set of Vertical observations (circle left and circle right) should be recorded
to the unknown point ∆ KI-HSE.

3.7 Each person must be given an equal opportunity to operate the instrument.
A set of observations must be completed by one observer, and a different
person should observe at each setup.

3.8 This instrument is transited after the first observation to each point. The
observations are therefore taken in the following order as shown in the
example below:-

Page 12 of 25
Geomatics IB (GMTB101) – Practical manual Compiled & Revised by A. Raghubar
Date: October 2020
 Point: Vertical Circle left Vertical Circle right
ΔSport 1st reading 2nd reading
ΔBiesh 4th reading 3rd reading
ΔRekaju 5th reading 6th reading
ΔPines 8th reading 7th reading
Shrine 9th reading 10th reading

3.9 The above procedure is followed so that the time lapse between the
observations to each point will be approximately equal, thereby maximising
the possible improvement in refractive conditions, while at the same time
minimising the effects of deteriorating conditions.

3.10 One must always ensure that horizontal cross hair is set exactly on the intended
target point each time when observing.

4. SUBMISSION:

Students are given a reasonable time to complete the work taking into
account progress in both practical and theory lectures. The final submission
date for the completed project will be announced on Moodle. Late
submissions will be penalized as per Study guide.

3. INSTRUCTIONS:

3.1 The calculation and curve tabulations (two tables) must be done prior to the
practical session (see CURVE DATA on the next page) and be ready for
submission on the day of the exercise. Two tabular curve calculations must be
done, one staking out from the BC and the other staking out from the EC which
will serve as an essential check to ensure all pegs are correctly placed.

3.2 The BC and PI pertaining to your particular curve will be pointed out to you on
the sports field. Co-operation between members and groups is essential for the
success of this project.

3.3 Each member of the group must be given the opportunity to set out at least
one deflection angle while other members set out the polar distance and
place the peg concerned. The pegs will be placed radially from the BC using
the “Polar distance” which must be calculated in addition to the Chord length
prior to the prac session.

Once the pegs have been placed from the BC, they must all be checked from
the EC again by using “Polar distance”.

3.4 For orientation you are to use the directions provided for your group (below).
You are to also measure the long chord as a check.

4. CURVE DATA

 I = 45º Radius and Arc/Chord varies according to group.

 GROUP PROJECT DECLARATION:

EXTRACT FROM THE UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS:

Academic Integrity
Note: The credibility of the Institution as a proud provider of top calibre tertiary, career-specific education and training is
dependent on its academic integrity as embodied in the worthiness and honesty of its staff, students and graduates, and
consequently of the qualifications it awards.

“The Institution is uncompromising in safeguarding its academic integrity. The following fraudulent acts will be regarded as
undermining the Institution's academic integrity and will therefore be severely dealt with:

• falsification of academic records, e.g, the altering of results on a Senior Certificate or any authorised results
statement;
• plagiarism, ie, the submission by a student or group of students, without acknowledgement, of written, visual, or oral
material or an idea, originally produced by someone else, purporting to be one's own work or a group's own work.
The Institution's Plagiarism Policy and Procedures for staff and students also refers; and cheating, ie, the gaining of
an unfair advantage by a student in any assignment, test, practical, tutorial, experiential training or examination.”
