INTRODUCTION

GENERAL
Leisure, just as work is crucial for the development of self identity and self realisation.
It provides relaxation and entertainment, develops personality and promotes physical fitness
and mental alertness. The laws of sports when faithfully observed develop character and
sportsmanship and foster good will and understanding among people, institutions, states and
nations. All the developing nations realize this fact and are spending fabulous sums for
promoting sports and games.

The panning of an indoor

OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLGY:

OBJECTIVE:
This project deals with the functional planning and structural designing of a multipurpose
indoor stadium for NSS College of Engineering. For the further development of indoor
games, an indoor stadium is a must.

Indoor stadium facilitates sports events at various climatic conditions which is more
relevant in a district like Palakkad. The climatic conditions of Palakkad blatantly points out
the need of an indoor stadium. The perpetual presence of rather high velocity winds make it
rather impossible to play sensitive games like badminton, tennis.

METHODOLOGY:

1) TOTAL STATION SURVEY:

A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying and

building construction. The total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an
electronic distancemeter (EDM) to read slope distance from the instrument to a particular
point. Ordinates of an unknown point relative to a known coordinate can be determined using
the total station as long as a direct line of sight can be established between the two points.
Angles and distance are measured from the total stations to the points under survey, and the
coordinates(X, Y and Z or easting, northing and elevation) of surveyed points relative to the
total station position are calculated using trigonometry and triangulation. To determine an
absolute location a total station requires line of sight observations and must be set up over a
known point or with line of sight to 2 or more points with known location.

Advantages of total station surveying:

 Quick collection of information.

 Multiple surveys can be performed at one set up location.
 Easy to perform distance and horizontal measurements with simultaneous calculation
of project coordinates (Northing, Easting and Elevation).
 Layout of construction site quickly and efficiently.
 Digital design data from CAD programs can be uploaded to data collector.
 Daily survey information can be quickly downloaded into CAD which eliminates data
manipulation time required using conventional survey techniques.

A detailed survey was conducted on the site by using total station to get the plan of the area
and interior details. The instrument was kept at a point on the ground and readings were taken
on the staff held at different points. The back reading to previous station was also taken.
Horizontal and vertical distances, horizontal angle, zenith angle and zenith distances were
measured.

Using the readings from the total station surveys all the boundary points and contour points
are plotted and the site plan is drawn.
