CONCLUSION

As a result, the objectives of this experiment, which were to present the typical method of gathering
stadia data, such as stadia readings to plot a topographic map, and to plot a basic topographic map,
have been met. We had become familiar with the equipment and had learned how to utilize the
theodolite through this laboratory experiment. We also gather the knowledge to conduct this
experiment which is stadia tacheometry. We also receive information on how to take the readings of
top, bottom and middle of stadia hairs and also the reading of the vertical and horizontal bearings.
