work requirements and conditions, problems in field operations, and the availability and
useg of surveying equipment. Hence, for smaller scale surveys and where conventional
surveying equipment are utilized, the given composition should be reduced to what is
deemed preferable or suitable. The composition, duties and responsibilities given in this
