Surveying for Construction (UK Higher Education Engineering Civil Engineering) by William Hyslop Irvine

“Surveying for Construction, 5e” is an essential textbook for students of engineering new to surveying, and will also appeal to students of building and environmental studies and archeology. Offering a strong grounding in land and construction surveying, the authors clearly and comprehensively guide the reader through the principles, methods and equipment used in modern-day surveying. Taking into account recent advances in the field, the material has been fully updated and revised throughout including new and up-to-date coverage of levelling, total stations, detail surveys, and EDM. A new chapter on GPS technology has been added. In keeping with the practical nature of the book, there are chapters on setting out construction works and surveying existing buildings, which guide the reader step-by-step through the fundamental procedures. The clear and methodical nature of the explanations, supported by a wide range of exercises and examples, make “Surveying for Construction, 5e” an invaluable and modern introduction to surveying.
