ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It gives us immense pleasure to bring out the internship work on the total
station ,this is a new experience for us un in the B.tech civil engineering course
 This project is a result of our efforts ,as well as the kind support of many of
those ,where I would like to thanks personally
We would like to express our sincere thanks to “mr.uma ravi teja sir” for
accepting to be our guide and helping us ,through our project work .
Our special thanks to our head of the deportment “V.K .Chekravathi sir”.

ABSTRACT
The INTERNSHIP is “SURVEYING USING TOTAL STATION”. The project
is made by us to take experience of the work in the field also. This project is
alsovery useful for surveyors of company to confirm their data/values (R.L.,
contours)with our values to be accurate when doing surveying same area. Total
areasurveyed in the project is 20000sq.m. One can easily find the location of
fixedthings (like water tank, poles, building walls, different blocks, tree etc.) on
ground by seeing the map. The project is done by using Total

What is Total station?

A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying and
buildingconstruction that uses electronic transit theodolite in conjunction with
electronic distance meter(EDM).It is also integrated with microprocessor,
electronic data collector and storage system.The instrument is used to measure
sloping distance of object to the instrument, horizontalangles and vertical angles.
This Microprocessor unit enables for computation of data collectedto further
calculate the horizontal distance, coordinates of a point and reduced level of
point.Data collected from total station can be downloaded into computer/laptops
for further processing of information. Total stations are mainly used by land
surveyors and civil engineers,either to record features as in topographic surveying
or to set oust features (such as roads,houses or boundaries). They are also used
by archaeologists to record excavations and by
police, crime scene investigators, and private accident Reconstruction’s and insura
nce
companies to take measurements of scenes
