LO4 Prepare a report on the causes of errors and techniques to improve accuracy, including the use of digital data.

You are now required to carry out a full setting out operation of the site by utilizing a total station free station programme, including both horizontal and vertical control. Data from a previous topographic survey will be utilized for this process.

The client has requested that you then prepare a report on the causes of errors within a setting out process and an appraisal of techniques to improve accuracy, including the use of digital data that may be used on future surveys.

The client requires the following;

·Extract and transfer the results from the topographic survey to a total station and undertake the setting out of the site including horizontal and vertical control (Resection).

·An analysis of the accuracy achieved and techniques utilized throughout a setting out process.

·Compilation of a report identifying the common causes of errors in surveying and setting out and comparisons to accuracy achieved through industry standards. Furthermore, an evaluation and analysis of techniques used in the industry should be applied.
