Fieldwork 1- Levelling
Attributable to the ease of
precise centering of level tube and time-saving if only rough levelling is
involved, auto level meter is yet being adopted until this day and age. The
very primary instinct when I was assigned this task is a sense of surprise and
joy as we are quite acquainted with the levelling which has been came out in
the mid-term test. Since our lecturer, Mr. Wong Jee Khai has given the brief on
using the instrument before this fieldwork, it undeniably eases us on the
consequent fieldwork.
We confronted several
circumstances which lengthen our time consumption on this fieldwork. As a result of haze condition, it becomes one
of the major problems that contributes to misjudgments in reading the staff reading.
However, this problem is solved as four of us compromise to participate in
reading the staff and take the average reading. Moreover, fault handling such
as centering of bubble during the beginning, which alsoserves as a problem, is
solved by continuous trials and practices adopted. Besides that, precautions
should be take into account as it
influences on the accuracy of the reading taken.
In a nutshell, I was blessed
to have a group of highly dedicated members working members. It was indeed a
good experience to boost up my understanding of this levelling topic.
FieldWork 2 – Traversing Survey
At first, we have a
perception that this task will only centering on the measurement of the distances and angles between the four
points. Nevertheless, the things become sophisticated when it comes to the
computation of several components such as azimuth, latitudes and departures as
well as coordinates. Owing to the insufficient time for the lecturer to clarify
further about the traversing topic, we confront the barriers during computation
of the coordinates which we have never done before. It was a gigantic challenge
for us however we, ultimately, are able to solve it after several discussions
with groupmates and references to books. Besides that, there is an argument
that some of the groupmates which assume bearing DA as N 00º00’00”E while the
others make the bearing AB as N 00º00’00”E which in turn results in two
different data analysis and interpretations. All of these disputes is resolved
as we get confirmation from our lecturer that any bearing can be act as N
0º00’00”E. In a nutshell, the beginning always the toughest; nonetheless, all
will be paid off soon upon the efforts given to understand the concepts
regarding the traversing.
