How to Calculate Height of Collimation (HOC) & Rise and Fall Methods for Site Engineering Surveying

Site engineering involves using various instruments and methods to prepare the construction site for the substructures or for the superstructure. A lot of tasks must be completed before other construction professionals can carry out their specific roles on that site. At times, an architect will want the land surveyor to complete their tasks before they can fully develop their own architectural plans for the project.
During the construction phase, the surveyor is usually required on site to check and ensure that both the horizontal and vertical level are accurately constructed with negligible deflections form the accurate plan.
In this video, I will walk you through how to collect field data to check for site levels using Height of Collimation method and Rise and Fall method commonly used in site engineering and surveying. In subsequent videos, we are going to understand other applications of using the Auto Level instrument on construction sites.

Almost all surveying requires some calculations to reduce measurements into a more useful form for determining distance, earthwork volumes, land areas, etc. Purpose of traverse: It is a convenient, rapid method for establishing horizontal control particularly when the lines of sights are short.

I want this lecture

[@a1_ricki]

Bless

[@TinasheTimer]

Good sìr

[@user-sd1qw8xh5f]

Good morning. Please what if you are on a site where there's no building in the surrounding to locate the benchmark

[@KelvinAcademyYouTube]

Talk to a practicing surveyor in the area, or visit the engineering survey office of your local council. If there are no national established control points, then there will be Temporal Benchmarks or some sort of recognized secondary or tertiary control networks.

[@titusblair7533]

You just gave me an A in surveying

Thank you sir
Got d gist behind it
But my problem is how can we apply this onsite sir

[@KelvinAcademyYouTube]

I will explain in another video.

[@bensonsandy2118]

Please do a video on open traverse calculations😢

[@murangiramaxima1332]

What is the difference while using Dumpy level?

[@zoehargreaves8442]

💪

[@ericklele]

Very good I want to know why do you get that obm number

[@allankara2212]

whole semester work in 30 mins

[@patrickessel3891]

please to have complete videos for beginners' i mean level 100 students cause i dont understand what what lecture is teaching
so if you have please leave link behind

[@albaaqiy1160]

Plz Plz TOTAL STATION ALSO START FOR OUR TEACHING, I NEED IT URGENTLY.

[@josephsichamba-ts1lv]

It has been a year but am seeing the video for first time, are you still doing or stopped

[@KelvinAcademyYouTube]

The channel is active

[@user-qs7tm7iz4s]

How do you get 86.452 from subtracting 0.394 from 88.846?

[@user-qs7tm7iz4s]

Actually that 88.846 should've been 86.846

[@afiaampomaasarkodie3710]

Please you didn’t show the unadjusted RL

[@shalommainuka5190]

There's architects too you know

[@jacobkumai7013]

Your first RL and last RL is same, so that means you close your observation at OBM. Your Label must be same!

[@KelvinAcademyYouTube]

Absolutely Jacob.

[@isaacchiagozie9648]

How do you mean please

[@KelvinAcademyYouTube]

@@isaacchiagozie9648 I ended the reduced levelling (RL) task at the same Ordinance Benchmark (OBM) [primary control point] station where I started transferring levels on the site ground.
You can also start off from a Temporary Benchmark (TBM) [secondary or tertiary control point] station.
If I had ended at a different station, I should be getting a value less than or greater than 0.000 in my final checks. But no matter how you ended your RL on that site, if you have carried out your levelling observations accurately, the final check should definitely be fine.
I hope this helps. I will be making more videos on this and more subjects.
