1.0 INTRODUCTION

In engineering surveying, a route survey involves the initial phase of planning and
assessment for establishing the course and alignment of infrastructure projects. A
Route Survey is employed for surveys essential in determining the horizontal and
vertical alignment of transportation infrastructures. These infrastructures encompass
various facilities such as highways, railways, aqueducts, canals, water pipelines, and
others. There are various reasons why a route survey might be necessary, including it
helps assess the feasibility of a proposed route. It considers factors such as
topography, soil conditions, and environmental impact to determine if the chosen path
is viable for construction. Route survey consists of traversing, levelling, detailing,
cross and longitudinal section and setting out. Horizontal and vertical angles,
altitudes, and horizontal lengths are all measured and computed during route surveys.
In this practical task, we are required to conduct a route survey near the Masjid
Al-Wathiqu Billah Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin. The survey conducted in
engineering surveying to gather detailed information about the road. As we engage in
this practical task, our goal is to assess the feasibility and suitability of a proposed
route, considering various factors that may impact construction and subsequent use.
Through direct experience with this practical task, we aspire to highlight its capacity
to transform the field of surveying practices.
In the detailing phase, all detailed points will be recorded within the site area
and approximately 15 meters outside it. In task involves conducting a detailing
process, encompassing long section and cross-section evaluations, as well as
horizontal and vertical measurements related to the road within the site area. Upon
completion of this task, the product to generate a detailed plan of the road and its
surroundings.

1.1 Study Area
The survey area took place at Jalan Cendekiawan 1/15 near Masjid Al-Wathiqu Billah
Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, UiTM Shah Alam. Then, we were divided into 4 groups
of 5 members, before we were given our site area. Our group were assigned to do a
survey in D section of the road. Thus, we will utilize conventional method, such as
traversing using total station, transfer level using auto level and details using total
station.

4.0 THEORY
This chapter gives information about the general information of engineering survey. It
explains the related theory about the process that is used in engineering surveying. All
the theory involved is arranged by order in the process to conduct this survey work
from the start to the final product.

4.1 Traverse
Traverse works consists of consecutive lines that are related by horizontal angle
(bearing) and length (distance). A traverse can be:
i. Closed traverse
ii. Open traverse

4.1.1 Closed traverse

A close traverse can be defined as a series of consecutive lines commence from a
known point and end with a known point. Closed traverse can be adjusted and
checked by a surveyor.

Figure 4.1.1 Closed Traverse Network

4.1.2 Open Traverse

Open traverse is a series of consecutive lines which start from a known point and ends
at an unknown point. Open traverse can be used to survey a long narrow strip site
area. Checking is not available on this type of traverse. Hence, open traverse is not
suitable to be used in a precise survey job.

13
4.2 Detail Survey
Details survey is a process to represent the earth’s features on a plan with symbol. It
shows in type of coordinate of X, Y, and Z. The coordinate X is referred to the
position of East/West, the coordinate Y is referred to the position of North/South and
the coordinate Z is a height or depth of a point. The word ‘features’ means both
natural and man-made structures on a piece of land. The example is vegetation, type
of soil, buildings, land utilities, fences and boundaries, roads, land marks and many
more. This survey is usually confined to the boundaries of the parcel of land. The
survey will often include data such as the elevation of the land, that is how high the
land is above an arbitrary datum (level). A commonly used arbitrary level is the Mean
Sea Level which is taken as zero meter high. The Easting and Northing coordinates of
the land (exact position in relation to the earth’s surface) may have to be taken. The
purpose of detailing is to get the height and position of a features.
The detail that must be taken as the following natural or an artificial feature are such:
i. Existing roads, track, or path.
ii. Structure above and below the ground level, permanent or temporary or semi-
permanent.
iii. Hydrographic features and type of construction, size, width, depth and
direction of flow such as drain.
iv. Existing vegetation such as tree, types, and shape.
v. Any nearby existing boundary marks, lot number, baseline of reference points.
vi. Existing utilities such as TNB, Telekom, JPS’s overhead lines, underground
cables, fire hydrants and others.

4.3 Route Surveying

Route survey can be defined as the required service and product that adequately
locates the planned path of a linear project or right of way which crosses a prescribed
of real estate, extending from at least one known point and turning or terminating at
another known point. Adequate location shall mean substantial compliance with the
conditions and tolerances expressed in this standard. A route survey which means as
new or proposed boundaries shall be conducted as a boundary survey and must adhere
to the rules and regulations of the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying.

14
4.3.1 Purpose of Route Surveying
i. Roadway, highway and railroad.
ii. Transmission lines from communication, fuel, chemical, water and electrical
needs.
iii. Canals, waterways, drainage and sewers.
iv. View easements, air space easements, ingress and egress easements such as
approach routes.

4.3.2 The process for Route Survey

Figure 4.3.2 Process of Route Survey.

4.3.2.1 Reconnaissance
In order to identify a small band that the route may be identified along, the goal of this
approach is to gather topographic data between two termini. The procedures involved
in carrying out this operation are gathering and analyzing information about the
region, visiting the area of interest to perform a site visit, and estimating the distances
and altitudes.

4.3.2.2 Preliminary Survey

The preliminary survey builds upon the earlier phase, in which a short strip corridor
containing the route’s final location is chosen. Generally, a railway strip is 400 meters
long and 150 meters wide, with the width varying according to the type of terrain the
route travels over. In addition to the longitudinal and cross section, the control
traverse is carried out. The position of the primary and secondary controls, the

15
benchmark close to the route, the access to the road, and the availability of local labor
for bush-cutting should all be known to the surveyors before beginning a preliminary
survey. Three sections make up the preliminary survey as well: the traversing or other
way of control survey (GNSS), levelling and topographic surveying.

4.3.2.3 Location Survey

Paper location and field location are the two stages that make up a location survey.
Whereas field location is done on the ground, paper location is done in an office.
Maps and the preliminary survey are the sources of information used in the paper
location. The objective is to choose a provisional alignment within the surveyed tight
strip. When drawing the alignment on the maps, a few, tiny, smaller, and minimum
issues need to be considered.
These issues include the number of bridges, retaining walls, gradients,
curvatures, and alignment modifications. In order for survey teams to determine the
centerline, this paper location should demonstrate sufficient connections to the current
topography. The process of moving the alignment indicated on the map to the ground
is known as field location. Two methods are employed to locate the alignment: one
involves finding the intersection between the traverse and the alignment's paper
location, and the other involves scaling and transferring the positions of different
points on the map to the ground.

4.3.2.4 Construction Survey

The process of doing a construction survey involves charting the route's specifics on
the ground. Stake locations are verified, levels are checked, new or additional
Temporary Bench Marks (TBM) are established, offset stakes are established by
finishing all horizontal, transitional, and vertical curves, culvert stakes are established,
and side slopes are staked. These are the steps involved in conducting this survey.

16
4.4 AutoCAD
Autodesk is the developer of AutoCAD, which was initially made available in
December 1982. It is a commercial piece of software used for drafting (create
construction drawings) and 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD). It may be used
with Android, iOS, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. In addition to engineers,
graphic designers, and other professionals, AutoCAD is frequently utilized in
industry. This program is essential for replacing traditional pen and pencil drawings.
AutoCAD, in contrast to older methods, can readily erase drawings when mistakes are
made and can-do tasks more quickly and efficiently. AutoCAD may also be used to
create 3D models. By entering the bearing, distance, and coordinates before moving
to the site location, a building can be precisely designed with this software.
In addition, this program can import data from CDS for data modification and
AutoCAD map production. You can use different shapes, colors, symbols, and so on
to construct the map. Additionally, AutoCAD can create Digital Terrain Models
(DTMs) from longitudinal and cross-sectional data as well as detail surveys. For civil
works, the cut and fill procedure can be carried out using calculations from the long
and cross sections.

5.1.1 Reconnaissance and Planning

Before we begin our survey work, we must first conduct site reconnaissance or a
site inspection of the whole study area to ensure that we are able to organise the
fieldwork and carry it out as smoothly as possible. In this regard, we should carry
out this procedure before beginning with the survey work, as it will be helpful in
managing the direction of the job in all aspects such as time management, energy
efficiency, cost, and data quality of work. Following that, firstly we must design
and determine the best location to establish our station and TBM to prevent any
problem.

As a consequence, it is critical to complete this process before initiating the survey

work, which means we must begin this process as soon as we given the
assignment from the lecturer without delay.

18
5.1.2 Data Collection for Fieldwork
After we are planning and decide on how many stations on that were needed and
where to establish the instrument, we start to do the traverse observation at our
site section. Then, we must take a solar observation to make sure the data is in
correct rotation and to avoid the traverse from swing. We produced 5 stations for
traverse and proceed with transfer level. Thus, proceed with details observation
after all is finished.

The vertical datum for all survey operations will be referred to benchmark B 0101,
which the RL value is 44.565m from MSL and located in front of High Energy
Material Research Lab (HEMREL). Then, proceed with the transfer level
procedure using auto level instrument from benchmark to TBM we establish. Staff
and levels should be handled carefully because they are vulnerable to damage.
Misreading the staff is a common mistake, hence it is crucial that time be taken to
ensure precise readings.

Next, in this survey engineering fieldwork, detailing is most an important process,

which it will be used to record all land features and structure. It is for present
information about land that we observed and purpose of land valuation.

5.1.3 Data Processing

Following the acquisition of the topography of earth surface including observation
data on the benchmark B 0101 for transfer level procedure and observation all
land features and structure at the site, the raw files from the total station
containing the current data are initially exported to the Toughbook in (*.raw)
format and begin the plotting process from CDS to CAD.

5.1.4 Finalize Data to Prepare Final Product

Upon that, we prepare the topographic plan show the feature around the road in
accordance with the standard certified plan format. As a result, a site report must
be prepared, which includes an image of the site location and any structure
features around the advertising board, as well as their description as our final
product. Any changes or problems must be updated in the plan and site report
before submission.

29
6.0 RESULT AND ANALYSIS
This chapter displayed the analysis of field survey that has been carried out such as
instrument field check, horizontal and vertical control, and also detail survey.

6.1 Calibration
Calibration of the instrument is a crucial step in maintaining its accuracy. Calibration
involves defining an instrument settings such that a sample result falls within a
suitable range. Eliminating or minimizing the factors that contribute to inaccurate
readings is a crucial part of instrument design. As surveyor, it is important to ensure
that the instrument being used are calibrated in compliance with the guidelines
provided by DSMM when conducting survey operations, according to Pekeliling
KPUP 2002 (KPUP 2002), Chapter 2, Paragraph 21. The calibration result will then
be maintained on file and requires approval from the Survey Director of another
approved authority. Below show some of calibration that need to be done before
beginning work.

Daily Check Test

1. The daily test should be carried out at the start of the everyday jobs.

2. It can be done by remeasuring the distance of the last surveyed line on the
previous day.

3. If the error is greater than 10 mm, the differential field test should be
carried out to determine the TS is inacceptable working order.

6.1.1 Differential Field Test (DFT)

Procedure:
1. Establish two stations A and B at least 50 meters apart on a flat surface
straightly.
2. Setup total station at station A and prism at station B.
3. The distance from A to B will be measure.
4. Another station, C, will be established between station A and station B.
5. Total station will move to station C while prism at station A.

30
 6. Measured CA and CB.
7. Compare the distance AB with the result of CA and CB.
8. If the error is greater than 10mm, the total station should be repaired to
ascertain.

Result:
Distance CA + Distance CB = 26.718 + 33.516
= 60.234m
Distance AB – Total Distance CA with CB = 60.234 – 60.234
= 0.000m
∴ Since the error is 0.000m > allowable maximum, 0.010m, therefore it is
acceptable.

6.1.2 Two Peg Test

Procedures:
1. A straight line of 30m was measured.
2. At C, settled up a digital level in between two staff at the end of line and
mark it as A and B.
3. The distances are measured and recorded from the digital level to the staff
as CA and CB.
4. Placed the digital level 3 meters out of the line measured.
5. The nearer staff were marked as C, and the other was marked as D.
6. Measured the distances and recorded the distances.
7. All the observed data are calculated.
8. The error should not be more than 0.001m.

Result:
( HB−HA )−( HD−HC ) ( 0.650−1.940 )−( 1.290−1.460 )
=
L 30
= 0.000
∴ Since the error is 0.000m > allowable maximum, 0.010m, therefore it is
acceptable.

0.001 0.001 0.001 217.0

Analysis:
Arithmetic Checking:
Total BS – Total FS = Total Rise – Total Fall
10.124 – 10.123 = 1.640 – 1.639
0.001 = 0.001

Misclosure:
Observed value – RL of TBM = 27.128 – 27.127
= 0.001 m

Allowable:
±12 √ K mm = ±12 √ 0.217 (K must in km)
= 5.590 mm
= 0.006 m
∴ Since misclosure 0.001 > 0.006, therefore it is acceptable.

Correction:
Misclosure / Number of Transfer Station = - (0.001/9)
= - 0.000143 m for every station

Tacheometry Checking:

Station 1 to Station 5
RL1 = RL5 + Hi ± VD – Ht
= 26.651 + 1.544 – 0.399 – 1.351
= 26.445 m
Different = RL from Levelling – RL from Tacheometry
= 24.446 – 24.445
= 0.001 m
∴ Since misclosure 0.001 > 0.010, therefore it is acceptable.

Station 2 to Station 1
RL2 = RL1 + Hi ± VD – Ht
= 27.915 + 1.380 – 1.092– 1.552
= 26.651 m

Different = RL from Levelling – RL from Tacheometry

= 26.651 – 26.651
= 0.000 m
∴ Since misclosure 0.000 > 0.010, therefore it is acceptable.

7.0 CONCLUSION
In summary, the completion of this route survey for engineering surveying project has
provided us with a wealth of new experiences and practical insights that have
significantly enhanced our skills in the field. Following a systematic approach, we
successfully executed each stage of the work procedures, from initial reconnaissance
to the final production of the Route Survey plan.
The significance of meticulous planning became evident as we conducted a
thorough reconnaissance of the site area, identifying existing boundary marks and
strategizing our observation approach. Undertaking levelling, traversing, and detailing
work, we meticulously collected topographical details, including drainage,
signboards, ground levels, and road features. Solar observations and the establishment
of Cadastral Reference Marks (CRM) were integral to ensuring the accuracy and
orientation of our traverse.
Utilizing advanced software such as CDS and AutoCAD, we efficiently
processed and analyzed the collected data. The software facilitated the generation of
longitudinal and cross-sections, allowing us to produce a comprehensive Route
Survey plan that aligned with the principles of advanced engineering survey.
The journey from data collection to final product not only reinforced our
theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom but also provided a hands-on
understanding of road curve tasks and planning. This practical experience was
invaluable, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world application.
Crucially, the success of this project was made possible through effective time
management and collaborative teamwork. Each team member's dedication, coupled
with guidance from our lecturer, ensured the project's timely completion and success.
This experience has not only expanded our understanding of surveying methodologies
but has also exposed us to the challenges and rewards of working in a real-world
setting. As we reflect on this undertaking, we recognize its contribution to our
professional development and look forward to applying these newfound skills in
future endeavors.

First of all, it is evident that the completion of the task was greatly facilitated by the
invaluable assistance of Sr Raiz and Sr Haris. Throughout the process, I acquired new
knowledge about a route survey and honed basic surveying skills, such as traversing.
levelling, and ground detailing. This experience not only deepened my conceptual
understanding but also taught me how to approach tasks with a calm and open-
minded. Engaging in this practical task on detailing and understanding its concept
involves. Despite encountering obstacles, particularly unpredictable weather changes,
our group persevered in completing the assigned tasks. Weather fluctuations, from
sudden rain to sunny intervals, necessitated careful handling of surveying instruments
to protect them from the elements. However, this did not impede our progress, and we
managed to complete the work on time.

First of all, I would like to thank my teammates for their hardworking throughout this
practical survey. From this task, I am able to understand the purpose and the
importance to carry out deformation survey. Although there are many obstacles and
challenges during performing the practical survey but we managed to outcome.
Hopefully I can bare this knowledge in mind so I can use it in the real-work situation.

Assalamualaikum. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my

lecturer Sr Haris and Sr Raiz because giving us the opportunity to learn about how to
do cross section and long section and guide us during this route survey. All the
explanations and advices given during this practical survey are very helpful and useful
for my team to complete this survey. I had learnt many new things and get to recall
knowledges during my internship last year. I also get to apply all knowledge
throughout this route survey. Not forgotten my beloved teammates, thank you for all
your efforts and committed, without you guys this route survey would not accomplish.

I am so grateful that we managed to finish all this practical task in the time given by
our lecturer. I also get to recall some knowledge during my diploma and applied it
during this route survey. I want to thank Sir Haris and Sir Raiz for briefing us
thoroughly before all practical is done. Without their guidance and advices, we would
not manage to complete this report with complete data. Not to forget, the cooperation
among my teammates was impressive, we just met but our bonding is really
meaningful throughout this practical survey. Overall, this task does help me to
understand more about route survey and I managed to use the instruments properly.

First of all, I would like to thank my hardworking and supportive teammates, without
them this practical report would not have been finish alone. I am very grateful to be
part of this group because their high committed throughout this practical. Not
forgotten our beloved lecturers, I would like to give appreciation to Sr Raiz and Sr
Haris for their guidance and their advices to guide our team in order to perform this
practical.
This route survey had enhanced my skills in using CDS and CAD. I have learned that
carry out topographic survey and producing the map is very necessary in route survey.
The primary purpose of this report is to present a thorough analysis of the surveyed
chainage profile, offering a detailed overview of the elevation changes in order to do
the route survey and we successfully achieved it. This is a new knowledge in survey
field for me and my team as what we have learned in during engineering survey.
