1. Basic concepts of surveying -- 2. Vertical control -- 3. Distance -- 4. Angles -- 5. Position -- 6. Control surveys -- 7. Satellite positioning -- 8. Curves -- 9. Earthworks -- 10. Setting out (dimensional control).

Summary: "The aim of Engineering Surveying has always been to impart and develop a clear understanding of the basic topics of the subject. The author has fully revised the book to make it the most up-to-date and relevant textbook available on the subject." "The book also contains the latest information on trigonometric levelling, total stations and one-person measuring systems. A new chapter on satellites ensures a firm grasp of this vitally important topic. The text covers engineering surveying modules for civil engineering students on degree courses and forms a reference for the engineering surveying module in land surveying courses. It will also prove to be a valuable reference for practitioners." "Readership: Students of civil and structural engineering courses and all courses, such as mining and geography, which contain an element of surveying. Also professionals in this field."--Jacket.
