You are assigned to carry out a closed traverse survey on a piece of paddy field land filled with backfill soil. The land area is approximately 70 m by 80 m with no distractions on site such as trees or buildings. There is a limitation to the budget and high accuracy may not be necessary. Based on the information obtained above, explain the most suitable type of surveying equipment to be used on this piece of land and why? Then, with an aid of a diagram, explain the method of survey that you are going to use to plot a map of this site.

Defination of surveying? What are objectives of surveying
In their Geodetic Surveying course, three groups of BSGE students were required to establish new benchmarks within and around the CSU Ampayon Campus using differential leveling. They need to utilize existing 2nd order benchmarks that were established by NAMRIA in Ampayon and another in Basag, Butuan City. In running a line of levels from Ampayon to Basag, 25 instrument setups are required for each group, with a backsight and foresight taken from each setup. For each rod reading, the estimated error is 1.92 mm. For a certain group, what is the error in the measured elevation difference between the starting and closing benchmarks? Select one: O a. 0 mm Ob. + 1.92 mm Oc. + 19.20 mm Od + 13.58 mm Hi! How can we help you? Oe. Cannot be determined from the given information Ot 3.84 mm
