Tacheometry Survey Practical Report

The practical report details a tacheometry survey conducted using a theodolite and leveling staff to measure horizontal distances and height differences. The methodology involved setting up the theodolite, taking readings from the staff, and applying tacheometric formulas to compute results. The findings demonstrated the efficiency of tacheometry in surveying, particularly in challenging terrains.

PRACTICAL REPORT

Title:

Tacheometry Survey

Objective / Aim:

To use the theodolite together with a staff to determine horizontal distances and height differences

between points using the principles of tacheometry.

Apparatus (with Diagram):

- Theodolite

- Leveling Staff

- Tripod Stand

- Measuring Tape

- Field Book

Methodology / Procedure:

1. The theodolite was set up and properly leveled over the survey station.

2. The leveling staff was held vertically on the points where distances were to be measured.

3. The instrument was adjusted to focus on the staff, and readings were taken.

4. Staff intercepts and vertical angles were recorded.

5. The horizontal distance and height were computed using tacheometric formulas.

6. Data were taken from Example One in our class note.

Result:

Point | Staff Reading (m) | Vertical Angle (°) | Horizontal Distance (m) | Height Difference (m)

--------|--------------------|---------------------|---------------------------|------------------------
A | 1.225 | +4.5° | 22.1 | 1.8

B | 1.600 | -2.8° | 19.3 | 2.5

Discussion:

- Tacheometry is a method used to determine distances and elevations without direct

measurements.

- The theodolite was used in conjunction with a staff to obtain both horizontal and vertical readings.

- This method is useful in areas where chaining is difficult.

- Precision of the instrument and proper setup are important for accuracy.

- Some challenges encountered include maintaining staff verticality and reading visibility under

sunlight.

Conclusion:

- The practical demonstrated the application of tacheometry in surveying.

- We successfully used angular and staff measurements to calculate distances and height

differences.

- The method proves efficient and practical, especially in rough or obstructed terrains.
