1. Introduction
The general context of the practical provides an initial background and context for the entire
practical session. It explains why the topic of determining independent coordinates and plotting a
building plan using digital tools is relevant and significant in the context of civil engineering
practices.

2.TOOLS:
Theodolite traversing is a surveying method that uses theodolites, along with other essential
surveying instruments, to measure precise horizontal and vertical angles. The primary tools used
in theodolite traversing include:
2.1 Theodolite:
The theodolite is the central instrument in this method. It is an optical instrument
that measures both horizontal and vertical angles. Theodolites are equipped with telescopic sights
and graduated circles for accurate angle measurement.
2.2 Tripod:
A sturdy tripod is used to mount the theodolite at a stable and level position. It
provides the necessary support for the instrument, ensuring that it remains steady during
measurements.
3. FIELD WORK:
3.1 Site Details:
3.1.1. Initial Department Visit:
- Before starting the survey, We visit the department to obtain the initial coordinates of the
points we want to survey. These coordinates serve as our reference for the survey.
Location:
Our project survey location is Software Engineering Department , Mehran UET
SZAB Khairpur Mirs , Sindh, Pakistan
3.2 PROCEDURE:
We use Close traverse method in our field project
Closed traversing is a surveying method used to determine the relative positions of a series of
points on the Earth's surface within a small area. It is typically employed when you want to
create a closed polygon by measuring angles and distances between a sequence of survey points.
Closed traversing is a fundamental technique in land surveying and is widely used in various
surveying applications, including boundary surveys, topographic mapping, and construction
layout. Accurate fieldwork is crucial to ensure the reliability of the survey results.
3.2.7. Adjustments:
- If closure is not achieved within acceptable tolerances, we may need to make adjustments to
the measurements, such as distributing errors proportionally or using least squares adjustments,
to improve the accuracy and closure of the traverse.
3.2.8. Plotting:
- Finally, we plot the traverse stations on a map or survey plan to create a closed polygon that
represents the surveyed area by using Excel and AutoCAD. This map can be used for various
purposes, such as land boundary determination or construction planning.

@BISMA SHAIKH Page 9
In conclusion, our project focused on accurately determining the area of the software department
using the theodolite machine with close traverse technique. We meticulously obtained
coordinates at various points within the department, which will prove to be invaluable for future
design and construction efforts. Additionally, we generated a 2D plan of the software department
using AutoCAD, providing a visual representation of the area. Our project's outcomes have
significant implications for the software department's future planning and expansion, as the data
collected can aid in the design and construction of new buildings or renovations, ultimately
enhancing the department's functionality and efficiency.
