SURVEYING BY TOTAL STATION

 As you all know that survey is the most important part of construction field. For any type of construction work survey is needed. But the that is most important in now a days is Total Station and Auto-Level. The types of survey that you have learnt in colleges is all oudated (i.e., it has no use in today's world). It's all about kinds of survey that is used in olden days. 

The types of surveys such as Chain Survey, Compass Survey, Plane Table Survey, Theodolite Survey has no use now-a-days. It's all outdated and Total Station, GPS Survey, Auto-Level only are all usable now-a-day's. 


While doing survey by Total Station you should be careful with levelling the bubble level. As you all know this. But there might be some points where you should be careful, mostly in the case of undulated ground surface. Then you should have to adjust the spirit level. After doing this then you should have to find the center. All this step-by-step process you should have to learn with a well profession Surveyor.

In the same way Auto-Level also should be adjusted. But here only bubble level is there, not the spirit level. After adjusting the bubble level you should have to find the center. And after that go on surveying, starting with bench mark, then BS, followed by IS, followed with FS.

For every Civil Engineering field surveying is the most important subject as well as in the practical field also. For doing any construction first of all soil testing and after that surveying is done. So for this practical knowledge is very important. And you should be aware of that. 

Now the topic is about "Surveying by Total Station". But let me tell you before there are different brands of total station such as South, Sokkia, Topcon, Leica etc. All these have same usage but operating system is different. Because when I used South and Sokkia I had found these two have different operating systems. Because once I was fully experienced with South then I found somewhat different with Sokkia. But the function is same i.e., to read the co-ordinates of different positions and points.

Many Total Stations have various objectives in their usage. All these can be operated by different modes of keys. But the function is same and the data is about finding the co-ordinates. And how to use the Total Station step-by-step will be discussed in the next topic.

MACHINES USED AT CONSTRUCTION SITES

 The most commonly used machine at any construction site is JCB where it's technical name is Backhoe. It is the most common and widely used machine in any construction project whether its big or small project. It becomes easier and makes the work faster for the companies at any time of interval.    All other machines such as Transit Mixer, Concrete Mixer, Roller etc are also used in any kind of road project or building project. Transit Mixer is used for large large building projects, bridge projects, some kind of road projects etc. whereas concrete mixer is for small building projects. Roller is used for road project and bridge project for its elevation.  For any building project the most commonly used machines are concrete mixer, transit mixer, concrete pump, bar bending machine, needle vibrator, water pump and many more. All these machinery works make the work easier and faster. Otherwise if the work is done with labourers it will take more time and less efficient for the work. 

Excavation for RE Wall.

 So, hey guys! How are you? You might have read my previous blogs about panel casting  and panel placing . Now it's time to learn about panel erection or what to do after 3-4 months of casting the panels. So the first step is about excavation for RE Wall. Then only you can erect the panels. So let us learn about this excavation part.  You all know excavation work is done by JCB or Falkland. To excavate the soil and then carry it to the other dumped areas. But before excavation you all know, to marked the center line as well as the outer line also so that the area doesn't excavate much as per the requirement. For excavation just you need to take 500mm more, then that of the given drawing.  Doing this excavation is easy. But what to do if it's flooded with rain water/ or water coming from other sources. Definitely your answer will be to do dewatering work with a water pump. That's fine. But do this dewatering work with almost by fixing 3-4 water pumps. So that it soaks mo

Machineries used in RE Wall

 So far you all have known that, how RE Wall construction is done and how they are installed. You might have known from the previous blogs. The panels, how are they casted and how the erection work is done. If you have not seen my previous blogs then you will understand nothing. First go and understand these articles by clicking on the link and then only you will understand here briefly.  So, the type of machineries used in RE Walls are as follows :-  Hydra  Dumper  Grader  Roller  Falkland  JCB  Vibrator  HYDRA  Hydra is the most important machinery used in RE Wall. Without hydra, nothing work is possible to do. Because to lift the panels, you will need crane or hydra. After casting for demolding the panels, you will need hydra only and also for panel erection, hydra is only the main aim to lift the panels. So HYDRA is the heart of RE Wall. Without this machine you will have to wait for somedays for work.  DUMPER  Dumper is used for transportation, to bring the soil. aggregates etc. f
