Book Review by P.Papadakis, Professional Land Surveyor,
By P.E.PAPADAKIS (ATHENS Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surveying for Construction (Paperback)
The basics of land surveying useful for students as much as professionals are analyzed clearly and efficiently in this book, using theory and examples. Topics as surveying fundamentals,maps and plans, linear surveying, levelling, contouring, vertical sections, theodolites, traversing and computations, tacheometry, radial positioning, curve ranging, setting out for construction works, area and volume mensuration, building survey, always backed up by computer programs in BASIC and a project "exame" at the last chapter. Very useful for every surveyor's library.

Very Useful Reference for Setting up a Garden Railroad Empire,
By
This review is from: Surveying for Construction (Paperback)
I was looking for a readable reference book to assist with topographic and detailed survey of a steeply graded 5 acre property, with a view to setting up a live steam model railroad. This book hits the target very well, with practical guidance and worked examples of all the steps needed to go about the job of surveying and setting out buildings, roads etc.
The book also gives sufficient broad information on both traditional and modern surveying tools and instruments, to allow one to make sensible decisions about the range of investment options availabe to cover basic and more complex surveying and setting out.
