During their careers surveyors are relied upon to measure, set out and certify structures to a high precision. Students need to develop the ability to evaluate or design measurement regimes that guarantee that the measurements are fit for purpose or comply with required standards. This course examines a broad range of surveying tasks that require rigorous understanding of measurement and error assessment.

This course covers a range of surveying tasks that require the surveyors to take a rigorous approach to measurement and error assessment. The course will cover specialist measuring technologies that are not necessarily available in all survey practices. Topics focus on industrial measurement, control and engineering surveys.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Analyse the accuracy of survey data, measure the degree of compliance with current standards and evaluate the potential causes of measurement error.
2. Evaluate aspects of metrology including both theoretical and practical solution techniques to precisely determine flatness, verticality and shape.
3. Justify survey monitoring methods and measurements to model movement or change in structures or features in the surrounding area.
4. Develop procedures and techniques used for surveys during and after the construction of high-rise buildings.
5. Apply the principles of inertial survey systems, field operation to solve computational methods for position determination, Kalman filters, applications and accuracies and discuss the use of artificial satellites to observe and define the geoid, land and ocean surface.
6. Analyse the use and application of close-range photogrammetry, including, planning, image acquisition and processing and apply knowledge of laser scanning technology for calibration, registration, geo-referencing and 3D point cloud generation.
