Surveying: Turning The Perfect Right Angle

Hi all! In this video I'm going to show you how to turn the perfect right angle and share a bulletproof technique for eliminating your instruments inherent angular error using the "Angle Angle Distance" method.

Using Conventional equipment to achieve unconventional accuracy. (3 of 3)

As a young surveyor who only ever worked with robotic TS, I find these high precision conventional methods really interesting ! Thank you

Brings me back to my early days...layout out buildings/structures/conveyor systems using a Wild T16 theodolite & steel tapes. Turn a 90 and pull a chain as simple as it gets. Accurate and precise as heck tho.

Thanks for the professionalism and knowledge. I am new to this and was wondering how I should go about learning more. I want to apply for a job as a layout engineer and Im really hoping I can get an idea as to where I should start. I want to be like you when I grow up 😅

[abidshah]

Thank you very much sir you are doing very well. We are learning a lot from them.❤

Very nice demo finally someone shows something useful imagine that. Thumbs up.

One thing missing is closing the rectangle and measuring the error. The distance measurements will never be perfect due to atmospheric variation, but that can be mitigated if you set up over one of the hubs and check that closing angle. In this scenario, I'd split the distances to get a perfect 90°.

Excellent video... I don't know if you were exaggerating the error in turning 90° to illustrate it but, if you weren't, I think I'd have that instrument sent for adjustment if it can't turn a tighter 90 in that short distance.

nice great step to the best angle 90 degree ❤

Hello!
Why my total station is it 400 degrees and not 360 degrees, the angle is 100 degrees and not 90 degrees, how can I adjust it in the options?

[projectkonstantine]

im starting as a apprentice surveyor this june. but i have no clue what i have to do...

After you strike the hub on face 2 90 where do you set the rod? On the strike from face 1, 2, or in the center? Since you didn’t change your zero after striking the hub on face 2 your line would be off if you set the rod in the center or on face 1 strike?

How to do it with Leica TS 15 total station in Nigeria

[coolspiritministries]

Impossible to measure within 0.005’. You are using the mean of your angles. Do you measure the diagonals?

[kherrera]

Can you please do a video of how to figure the height of an object using a theodolite. 🙏

[PracticeMakePerfectMuslim]

i hope they make more content on how to use land surveyor equiqment 😊

[luisramos]

Awesome I really learned a lot, how can this be done a a robotic instrument if I’m layout axis line and points?

[Jack-nevm]

nice chainman rings could be tack holders!

[geocentrictruth]

Just a quick question, what exactly is the meaning of "accuracy" on a theodolite manual. To be specific the Futtura Dt10 states accuracy 20" 10" it was written exactly like that with a couple of spaces between 20 and 10.. thats mostly feet they are referring to right?

[atown]

This was very well presented. Great work.

[cristianawp]

shouldn't this be 100° on the theodolite? like in centesimal degrees or grads
