Levelling: differential, trigonometric and GNSS-levelling. Angular measurements and introduction to gyrotheodolites. Distance measurements by taping, optical methods and EDM. Precision and accuracy of survey observations. Computations: polygon traverse and area, the first and second geodetic problem on the plane, trig sections, intersections, three-point resection and redundant observations, and coordinate transformations. Route surveying: horizontal and vertical curves, earthwork computations. Routine procedures: setting out straight lines and right angles; measurement with obstructions; setting out surveys; and topographic surveys.
