Short description: Subject allows to learn the geodetic measuring techniques for selected engineering objects and develop the ability to use different geodetic measurement methods to solve practical tasks in the field. As part of the course the student is acquainted with: methods of displacement measurements, the general principles of streams, reservoirs, road routes, rail routes and network utilities measurements.
Full description: Methods of measuring deformation of dams, extended facilities and slender objects. Research of horizontal and vertical displacement of structures and their surroundings. Elaboration of a geodetic draft documentation and stakeout sketches of engineering objects and underground utilities. After construction inventory measurements of selected engineering objects: crane tracks and stations, ramps, massive tower structures, water structures and railways. Measurements of longitudinal and transverse waterways sections. Staking out routes. Drafting crane track regulations plan.

Learning outcomes: Knowledge The student knows the procedures for the measurement of typical engineering objects at a basic level and preparation methods of their results. The student knows the basic concepts of general and industrial construction, allowing for good communication with the technical departments and the users of these facilities. Skills The student is able to perform a specialized survey and develop their results and interpret them. The student can choose the methods and measuring instruments for the proper survey of engineering objects, such as dams, retaining walls, chimneys masts, towers, crane rails and rail ramps, water structures and railways. The student is able to do project on longitudinal and transverse waterways sections from perforemed beforehand measurements and develop crane track regulations plan. Social competences The student is aware of the importance and understands aspects and effects of geodetic activities on the environment. The student understands the need for improvement necessary to handle new geodetic technologies. The student is able to work and interact with other technical services. Can interact in a surveying team and take different roles.
