For all surveying courses in Construction Management, Construction Science, Construction Technology, Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Survey Engineering, Resources Engineering and Technology programs.
The complete, up-to-date guide to modern surveying for construction and engineering -- now with additional review coverage of all relevant math.
Known for its state-of-the-art coverage and clear, concise approach, Surveying with Construction Applications, Eighth Edition covers the latest advances and foundational principles of surveying. Covering both principles and a wide range of contemporary applications, it is well-suited to Fundamentals courses, Applications courses, or both. Revisions focus on recent improvements in instrumentation technology, field data capture, and data processing, describing how these change the way surveyors interact with construction professionals and engineers. The authors emphasize sound measurement technique and accurate documentation throughout. To overcome the limited math skills brought by many new students, they have added an easy-to-read math review chapter, preparing students for all relevant construction layout computations.
Teaching and Learning Experience
This book will help surveyors master all the modern skills, techniques, and technologies they need to work effectively with construction professionals and engineers:
Thoroughly presents all the general surveying principles and techniques students need: Begins with eleven chapters walking through surveying fundamentals, distance measurement, computations, satellite positioning, geomatics, and much more -- including a brand-new math review chapter for students with limited math background
Links principles and techniques to contemporary applications in the construction of most civil projects: Addresses a wide range of surveying applications, from highways and streets to pipelines, tunnels, bridges, culverts, and buildings
Provides extensive hands-on practice, strong pedagogy, and valuable professional reference resources: Includes updated laboratory exercises, efficient features for review, useful reference appendices, up-to-date web links, and more

Features
Thoroughly presents all the general surveying principles and techniques students need:
NEW! Updated throughout to reflect new tools, techniques, and technologies, and their implications for surveyors working on construction or engineering projects–preparing students to succeed in any surveying role, from summer intern to field engineer, project engineer, or assistant superintendent
NEW! Intuitive, user-friendly math review chapter–ensuring that students have the algebra, geometry, and trigonometry knowledge they need to compute construction layouts
NEW! Complete coverage of the latest technological advances in GPS/GNSS and geomatics for capturing, processing, and mapping data on earth surface features–helping students understand the field's most advanced technologies, and how to apply them in real-world projects
Covers all the fundamentals of distance measurement, both traditional and electronic–teaching the principles students need to accurately measure distance using any tool or technique
Fully introduces theodolites, total stations, total station operations, and their applications–helping students quickly master many of today's most important surveying tools
Introduces key concepts of traverse surveying and computation, including bearings/azimuths, analysis of closed surveys, precision determination, and error balancing–helping students understand and work with total stations more effectively
Explains horizontal and vertical control, both at national and project levels–teaching students how to prepare map coordinate systems and baselines for field surveying
Links principles and techniques to contemporary applications in the construction of most civil projects:
NEW! Includes revised, up-to-the-minute coverage of machine guidance and control–helping students apply the latest advances in creating 3D files that streamline large-scale projects such as highway and airport construction
Covers a full range of applications, including highway curves, highway and street construction, pipelines, tunnels, culverts, bridges, and buildings–preparing students to participate as surveyors in virtually any construction or civil engineering project
Includes a full chapter on quantity and final surveys–enabling students to prepare essential computations and records for the processing of interim and final payments to the contractor
Provides extensive hands-on practice, strong pedagogy, and valuable professional reference resources:
NEW! Includes an extensive set of relevant, up-to-date laboratory exercises–helping students practice all the modern measurement techniques they are learning, hands-on
NEW! Includes updated reference appendices, including a revised glossary, typical field projects, steel tape corrections, early surveying topics, a colored insert demonstrating machine control and guidance, and examples of land/water areas surveyed by conventional ground surveys, aerial imaging, and satellites–giving students valuable information they can use throughout their first years on the job
Contains illustrative worked problems and figures–guiding students step-by-step through the processes and techniques they need to learn
Provides illustrative field book entries for each measurement technique– assisting students in properly setting up field books to record their survey data
Promotes learning through clear, concise introductions and many relevant visuals–helping students gain a more intuitive and practical understanding of the material
