Infrastructure Construction MeasurementsLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

After the course, the student is able to:
- use the total station in a versatile way for structure mapping and position measurement
- use a robotic total station
- use GPS equipment
- use the total station jointly with GPS equipment
- apply underwater measurement
- do load measurements
- apply BIM and machine control.

Content

Students acquire a broad understanding of construction surveying. After completing the course, students master a wide range of ways to use the total station and the GPS hardware.
The laboratory work in groups through practical measurement exercises measuring equipment with emphasis on the measurement of a variety of Total Station and GPS devices, as well as by related exercises.
The laboratory provides the capacity measurements with the measurement equipment.
Students will become familiar with the infrastructure construction, BIM and machine control of the world. In addition, the issues of sustainable development and green transition are included in the various lessons of the study course, where applicable.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The assessment focuses on the student’s work during the course as well as the acquired skills at the end of the course.
Weighting of exams:
- 50%: theoretical exam
- 50%: use test of the total station.

Satisfactory (1-2)
The student knows the basics of the different aspects of total station and GPS measurements and load measurement that BIM and machine control. The student is required to complete the use test of the total station in the given maximum time and within the given precision tolerance.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student masters most of the different aspects of total station and GPS measurements and load measurement that BIM and machine control. The student is required to complete the use test of the total station within the average value of the minimum and maximum time limits and within the given precision tolerance.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student has a versatile competence in the different aspects of total station and GPS measurements and load measurement that BIM and machine control. The student is required to complete the use test of the total station within the minimum time and the given precision tolerance.

Assessment criteria, approved/failed

The assessment focuses on the student’s work during the course as well as the acquired skills at the end of the course.
Weighting of exams:
- 50%: theoretical exam
- 50%: use test of the total station.

Satisfactory (1-2)

Further information

The course involves laboratory work in groups, including practical measurement exercises with measuring equipment, with emphasis on measurements with different total stations, as well as a variety of related calculation exercises. For calculation exercises, you must have a calculator with goons (GON) for calculating angles in addition to degrees (DEG).

The material consists of the contents of the theory sessions and the student’s notes.
In the laboratory, the teaching material consists of different measuring devices, notes and instructions written on the board, and exercises done with the measuring devices.

For the laboratory sessions you should dress according to the weather and prepare to be outdoors for up to one hour. In heavy rain we do not do outdoor measurements.
However, cold weather is not an obstacle to surveying, so dress according to the weather!
