Fieldwork Procedures Tachometry

Tachometry or detail survey is a continuation of traversing and leveling where in all the details
are observed from the traverse point with (x, y, h).

a) All the traverse point must have the reduced level from leveling.

b) Refer to leveling data of traverse point.

1. All the details including topography and man-made features were observed.

2. The instrument over the total station (i.e: stn 2) was set up. The pole was put with mini prism
at the backsight (stn1) and foresight (stn 3).

i. The temporary adjustment (leveling, centering) was performed over the point.

ii. The height of instrument (HI) was measured and recorded.

iii. The bearing for line 1-2 was set as a datum. The distance of of datum1-datum2 was
measured and recorded. (A final bearing from traverse sheet was used.)

iv. A pole was used as a target over the point. The pole height (HT) was measured and the
reading was recorded.

3. The horizontal bearing (HR), horizontal distance (HD) and vertical distance @height
difference (VD) was recorded for each observation.

4. All the features surrounding the stn 2 were observed. The HT for each observation was
measured and recorded.

5. The instrument was moved to the next station (i.e:stn3). A bearing for line 2-3 was set as
a datum. The process was repeated and all the features from stn 3 were observed, The IH at each
station setup was measured.

6. Additional control point was setup when it found missing or disturbed; or obstruction of
the features from observed station.
