SURVEYING EQUIPMENTS
STEEL TAPE
A FLEXIBLE MEASURING TAPE
MADE OF STEEL, COMMONLY
USED FOR LINEAR
MEASUREMENTS IN SURVEYING
AND CONSTRUCTION. AVAILABLE
IN LENGTHS RANGING FROM 30
TO 100 METERS. THEY ARE
RESISTANT TO STRETCHING
THAT THEY MAINTAIN THEIR
ACCURACY OVER LONG
DISTANCES.
BRUNTON POCKET COMPASS
CONSISTS OF AN ORDINARY
COMPASS, FOLDING OPEN SIGHTS,
A MIRROR, AND A RECTANGULAR
SPIRIT-LEVEL CLINOMETER, WHICH
CAN BE USED IN THE HAND OR ON
A STAFF OR LIGHT ROD FOR
READING HORIZONTAL AND
VERTICAL ANGLES, FOR LEVELING,
AND FOR READING THE MAGNETIC
DUMPY LEVEL
COMPRISES A TELESCOPE TUBE
SECURELY POSITIONED BETWEEN
TWO COLLARS AFFIXED TO THE
STAGE THROUGH ADJUSTING
SCREWS ON THE VERTICAL SPINDLE.
THE TELESCOPE OF THE DUMPY
LEVEL IS CAPABLE OF ROTATION
EXCLUSIVELY IN A HORIZONTAL
PLANE.
WYE LEVEL
THE Y LEVEL OR WYE LEVEL IS THE
OLDEST AND BULKIEST OF THE
OLDER STYLE OPTICAL
INSTRUMENTS. A LOW-POWERED
TELESCOPE IS PLACED IN A PAIR OF
CLAMP MOUNTS, AND THE
INSTRUMENT THEN LEVELED USING A
SPIRIT LEVEL, WHICH IS MOUNTED
PARALLEL TO THE MAIN TELESCOPE.

HAND LEVEL & CLINOMETER

AUTOMATIC LEVEL A HANDHELD DESIGNED FOR

ROUGH LEVELING AND
AN OPTICAL TOOL FOR MEASURING ANGLES OF
LEVELING, COMMONLY USED IN INCLINATION. IT TYPICALLY
SURVEYING AND CONSTRUCTION TO FEATURES A BUBBLE LEVEL FOR
DETERMINE AND SET RELATIVE BASIC LEVELING AND A
HEIGHTS USING A LEVELING STAFF. IT CLINOMETER TO MEASURE
INCLUDES A TELESCOPE WITH ANGLES. THIS COMPACT TOOL IS
SCREWS FOR SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS, COMMONLY USED FOR QUICK
AND A TRIPOD IS USED FOR ASSESSMENTS OF SLOPES AND
MOUNTING AND ADJUSTMENTS. INCLINATIONS IN VARIOUS
OUTDOOR SETTINGS.

LEVELING ROD ENGINEER’S TRANSIT

ALSO CALLED GRADE ROD IS A PRIMARY SURVEY FIELDWORK
MARKED ROD UTILIZED FOR INCLUDES MEASURING ANGLES AND
MEASURING VARIATIONS IN EXTENDING LINES. EQUIPPED WITH
ELEVATION. IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH BUILT-IN REFINEMENTS, PERFORM
SURVEYOR, OPTICAL, AND LASER THESE TASKS AND OTHER SURVEY
LEVELS. WHILE GRADE RODS CAN BE OPERATIONS, INCLUDING LEVELING.
CONSTRUCTED FROM VARIOUS ADVANCED DIRECT-READING
MATERIALS, THE MOST PREVALENT THEODOLITES ARE NOW REPLACING
CHOICE IS WOOD. TRADITIONAL VERNIER-READING
TRANSITS.

THEODOLITE ALIDADE
A PRECISION INSTRUMENT USED FOR A PIVOTAL PART OF A THEODOLITE,
MEASURING ANGLES BOTH CHARACTERIZED BY ITS
HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY. ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT AROUND
THEODOLITES CAN ROTATE ALONG THE VERTICAL AXIS. IT PLAYS A
THEIR HORIZONTAL AXIS AS WELL AS CRUCIAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING THE
THEIR VERTICAL AXIS. THEODOLITES HORIZONTAL AXIS, ENABLING THE

MEASUREMENTS.

SUBSTENSE BAR SEXTANT

A GRADUATED ROD OF KNOWN A NAVIGATION INSTRUMENT
LENGTH, USED TO INDIRECTLY THAT MEASURES ANGLES BETWEEN
MEASURE DISTANCES BY SUBTENDING THE HORIZON AND CELESTIAL
KNOWN ANGLES. IT PLAYS A CRUCIAL BODIES, AIDING IN CELESTIAL
ROLE IN TRIANGULATION AND NAVIGATION TO DETERMINE
GEOMETRIC CALCULATIONS, AIDING LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE. IT
SURVEYORS IN OBTAINING ACCURATE INCLUDES A CIRCULAR ARC
DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS BASED ON MARKED IN DEGREES AND A
ANGULAR OBSERVATIONS. MOVABLE RADIAL ARM PIVOTED AT
THE CENTER.

PLANIMETER GEODETIC TOTAL STATION

A TABLETOP INSTRUMENT FOR A HIGH-TECH SURVEYING
PRECISELY MEASURING THE AREA OF TOOL THAT INTEGRATES
IRREGULAR SHAPES ON MAPS OR ELECTRONIC DISTANCE
PHOTOGRAPHS. ONCE COMMON, IT MEASUREMENT (EDM) WITH THE
HAS BEEN LARGELY REPLACED BY FUNCTIONALITIES OF A
DIGITAL TOOLS IN MODERN THEODOLITE. IT ALLOWS FOR
APPLICATIONS. THE DEVICE INVOLVES PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF
TRACING THE SHAPE'S BOUNDARY HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
WITH A POINTER TO CALCULATE THE ANGLES, ALONG WITH ACCURATE
ENCLOSED AREA ACCURATELY. DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS.

REFLECTORS AND TARGETS

SERVING AS SURFACES THAT
BOUNCE SIGNALS BACK TO
INSTRUMENTS LIKE TOTAL STATIONS
FOR ACCURATE DISTANCE
MEASUREMENTS. TARGETS, PLACED
STRATEGICALLY, AID IN PRECISE
MEASUREMENT AND ALIGNMENT,
COLLECTIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO THE
EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY OF
SURVEYING PROCESSES.
