Land Surveyor Course Overview

Traditional surveying technologies like plain table, theodolite surveying is replaced by total station and drone surveying technics. Total Station is used construction, cadastral surveying, tunnel surveying, alignment surveying for roads, canals to generate L-Section, Cross-Section. Knowledge of total station and GPS surveying could add benefits in understanding of hybrid surveying terminology which are employed in largest surveying project of India.

This course teaches you advanced surveying terminology with dumpy level, total station and GPS with theory that explain the concepts of surveying followed by practical exercise, which helps to gain practical understanding and essential skill sets required for present surveying industry.
