Transverse/offset survey • To survey the field ABCDE: • Choose any suitable diagonal, ie AD • Measure the lengths along the transverse line, ie AP, PQ, QR and RD. • Measure the lengths of the offsets, ie BQ, CR and EP.
20+27=47 Field diagrams When in the field doing the survey the surveyor sketches the information as a field diagram. • To complete a field survey: • Start at one end of the transverse line • Write down the cumulative distances of the offsets from the starting point • Write down the lengths of the offsets. • Units are not shown.
Plane table radial survey • When doing a plane table radial survey you normally: • Place a table towards the middle of a field • Mark a point towards the middle of the paper. • From this point draw a line towards each corner of the field • Measure the distance from the point towards the middle of the paper to each corner of the field • Note • The angles at which the lines are drawn are important as this is used in doing an accurate scale drawing, • It is called a radial survey as all lines “radiate” out from the centre. • The point O is often used as the centre point

Compass radial survey • A compass radial survey is similar to a plane table survey: • Stand towards the middle of a field, • Take a compass bearing of each corner of the field, • Measure the distance from the point you are standing to each corner of the field • Note • Only very rarely is one of the corners directly north, • Often the angle asked for involves the corners just to the left and right of due north.

Today’s work • There are two ‘fields’ marked on the oval. • Create a radial and compass survey/diagram of each of the ‘fields’. • On ‘field 1’ use radiating lines (and protractors) and the navigational compass. • On ‘field 2’ use the giant protractor and the iphone. • Use your surveys to find the area of the ‘fields’. • Equipment: pencils, rulers, rubbers, paper.
