INTRODUCTION

Traversing is a form of a control survey that requires the establishment of a

series of stations that are linked together by angles and distances. The angles are
measured using the electronic distance measuring equipment. The use of theodolite in
traversing surveys is very fundamental and has become one of the most common
methods in engineering work to get the provision of control surveys, angle
measurement and detail mapping. There are mainly two types of traverse that is open
traverse and close traverse.

Electronic Distance-Measuring (EDM) equipment is the instrument used in this

traversing survey. When electronically determining the straight line distance
(horizontal or slope) between two stations, the equipment used sends an electronic
impulse of known velocity or rate of speed, and measures the time it takes for the
impulse to travel the length of the interval between the points. We can either use
compass or using the sun to set the bearing we want.

EQUIPMENT

1) Total Station (EDM)

2) Tripod

3) Reflector (Prism) and pole

PROCEDURE

1. Firstly, install the instrument (EDM) under each of station. Then a person
must hold the reflector/prism at the each point.
2. Next, aim the EDM to the prism until the crosshair pointed to the prism.
3. The distance and bearing that shown from the EDM must be record.
4. Then repeat the step until all the data of each points are recorded.
5. From the gathered data we must make a plotting to create a plan.

DISCUSSION

From this fieldwork, we learn how to conduct a traverse survey and also get to know how to
use the total station instrument. Besides, we gain proficiency in the use of the EDM
instrument. One (1) group consist 7 members and each members are ask to set up the tripod
in order to learn how it as set up. From this survey we know that the total station instrument
are used to measure the horizontal angles. This measurement also can be use to measure the
distance between the point. The total station will be placed on station 3 which is our starting
point and started to conduct our survey. Then we properly record our observations by
measuring angle using the “closing the horizon” technique. And for the result, we record
bearing and distance then plot the data to make a plan.

CONCLUSION

As conclusion, we can use EDM to measure a certain area more accurate than using manual
method. Next, from the data we have gathered by using EDM the computer program in EDM
can show the clearer image and make our work more easily and the data can be save for
future reference. We also can apply our EDM theory from lecture class into a real practical
works.

COMMENT FROM EVERY TEAM MEMBER

Fadhlee – this practice I can control the EDM that can can calculate the distance and angles
of the points required for the purpose of mapping or setting out the site as a construction
reference point.

Fizah – I have learned how to set up the equipment of Topcon and the prism and I know how
to determine the bearing and records the data on its built data recorder.

Edal – EDM make faster work, saves time, quick finishing off the job.

Nezrin- EDM can make it easier for humans to measure the distance of awide area and can
shorten the measurement time.

Anisah- EDM is very useful for an engineer. it also easy to handle. I can understand how to
use EDM. EDM is used to measure distance and angle. I become more ambitious to be an
engineer.

Ryan –For me this EDM is one of the measurement types that is very easy to use, EDM can
also reduce time in terms of building site. However this EDM cannot be used during night
and rain.

Brendon – Through the EDM practical works I have learned how to use the total station
correctly. I also understand the technique EDM measurements by taking distance and bearing
data using the total station.
