1.0 INTRODUCTION TO TRAVERSING
Traversing is a form of a control survey that requires the establishment of a series of stations that
are linked together by angles and distance. It can be open traverse and close traverse. The angles
are measured by theodolites and the distance can be measured by calculating the stadia’s reading
or using electronic distance measuring equipment. The use of theodolites in traversing survey is
one of the most common methods in engineering work to get the provision of control surveys,
angle measurement and detail mapping.
1.1 OPEN TRAVERSE
Figure 1.0: Open Traverse
Sources: http://mygeosurvey.blogspot.my/
Open traverse is a series of measured straight lunes and angles that do not geometrically close or
a surveying traverse that fails to terminate at the starting point and does not completely enclose a
polygon. It ends at a station whose relative position is not previously known. It is the least
desirable type of traverse because it provides no check on fieldwork or starting data.

1.2 CLOSED TRAVERSE
Closed traverse is a series of connected line which end at the starting point. It is basically a
traverse proceed from one coordinate point to another. A closed traverse may be close back to its
starting point or whose relative position is known.
Closed traverse can be in two types:
 Closed Loop Traverse
Figure 1.1: Closed loop Traverse
Sources: http://mygeosurvey.blogspot.my/
A closed loop traverse starts and ends on the starting point with assumed coordinates and azimuth
without affecting the area, computations or relative position of the stations. It usually need at least
4 point to conduct this survey. The coordinates must be tied to an existing grid system and the
traverse must start from a known station which is azimuth on that system. Closed loop traverse
provides some check upon fieldwork and computations, it does not provide for check of data that
may cause systematic error during the survey.

 Closed Connecting Traverse
Figure 1.2: Closed Connecting Traverse
Sources: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-2/fig5-6.gif
A closed connecting traverse is almost looks like an open traverse, the only different between
closed loop traverse and closed connecting traverse is it begins and ends at points or lines of
known position and the direction at each of the particular traverse.

1.3 NORTHING
There are 3 reference direction or datum meridian that are used as traverse reference. Which is
Magnetic North, Grid North and True North (Geodetic North).
 Magnetic North
Angle are measured from magnetic north. Since magnetic fields fluctuate over time, this
meridian is time-dependent. The magnetic fields will orientate a free swinging magnetic
needle in a north or south direction.
 Grid North
A grid of lines parallel to the true meridian of one point on the grid, usually the origin of
the grid. The angle is dependent on the map projection. Since the central meridian point
to true north, when we move east or west away from the meridian, the difference between
grid north and true north will increases.
 True North
True North is the direction along the earth’s surface towards to the geographic North Pole
which all the lines of longitude converge. Historically south has occasionally been used.

Sources: http://www.engr.mun.ca/~sitotaw/Site/Fall2007_files/TP_Lecture9_CloseTravers-
ENGI3703.pdf
Azimuths defined as horizontal angles turned clockwise from the reference line. Which is
between the ranges from 0°to 360°. For example: 128°, 239°and 351°. Generally, the angles
should be measured only from the north.

ENGI3703.pdf
Bearings is defined as an acute angle which is less than 90°. It is a horizontal angles measured
from the meridian either east or west. Usually required two letter with an acute angle which is
North (N), South (S), East (E) & West (W). The different between azimuths and bearing is
bearing can be measured both either clockwise or counter clockwise. It can be measured from
North or South axis of the meridian.

3.0 OUTLINE OF APPARATUS
3.1 THEODOLITE
Figure 1.5: Theodolite
Sources: http://www.visurveyinstruments.co.za/image/cache/data/DT-209-500x500.jpg
Theodolite is a precision instrument for measuring angles in both horizontal and vertical planes. It
is used to identify the ground level and the ways to construct super structure or sub structure. A
theodolites consists of a small sized movable telescope mounted within two perpendicular axis
which are horizontal and vertical axis. It also able to rotate 360 degree on a tripod stand that’s
where we get angles from it. When the telescope is pointed at a target object, the angle of each
axis can be measured with great precision. It is commonly used to measure horizontal and vertical
angles, ranging and leveling as well as controlling verticality.

3.2 TRIPOD STAND
Figure 1.6: Tripod Stand
Sources: http://www.toolup.com/product-images/2161_1.jpg
A tripod stand is a three-legged support platform for the level. The main function of the tripod
stand is to ensure a stable instrument setup for reliable measurements. The legs of the tripod can
be adjust to get the vertical height that required. Once the instrument is moved, then it must be set
up again which is to loosen the screw and adjust again and lock it back tight. It usually has a flat
tip and a mounting screw for instrument attachment. It is also to make sure that the leveling tripod
placed horizontally.

3.3 OPTICAL PLUMMET
Figure 1.7: Optical Plummet
Sources: https://www.hayesinstrument.com/accs_TopconTribrachOP.jpg
Optical Plummets is a device that used to center the instrument over a ground station. It is used in
place of a plumb bob to center transits and theodolites over a given point, preferred for its
steadiness in strong winds. The procedure speeds up the setting up process as well as protect the
instrument from accident, because it has a lock below the optical plummet to lock the devices that
used in fieldwork. Sometimes, the optical plummet can be used to perform angular or distance
measurements from the survey point.

Figure 1.8: Ranging Rod
Sources: http://3.imimg.com/data3/JA/BD/MY-2853543/steel-ranging-rods-500x500.jpg
Ranging rod is used to mark areas and to set out straight lines on the field. It is also used to mark
points that must be seen from a distance. The length of the ranging rod is either 2m or 3m. It is
made up of wood or metal. Ranging rod usually painted with alternate red-white or black-white
bands.

Metal-Bullseye-Level-Circular-vials-Bubble-Spirit-Level-with-Mounting-holes-Accuracy-8.jpg
The spirit bubble is used for maintaining both level rods and sighting poles in a vertical position.
An out of adjustment of spirit bubble level will cause accumulative error in level lines. It can used
in traversing and leveling measurements in fieldworks. In order to get an accurate measurement
for both, the spirit bubble level must be inside the middle of the black circle. It is located on the
optical plummet and leveling rod.

3.6 PLUMB BOB
Figure 1.9: Plumb Bob
Sources: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/537687642987491772/
Plumb bob is used to check if the object are vertical. A plumb bob consist of a piece of metal
pointing downwards, which is attached to cord. It is normally tie on the optical plummet by using
the string. When the plumb bob is hanging free and not moving, the cord is vertical. It is used to
mark a point directly under theodolite as well.

4.2 STADIA METHOD
We can use stadia method to calculate the distances between the points. The horizontal and
vertical distances between the survey points and the theodolites can be calculated using the
equation.
The differences between the top stadia readings and the bottom stadia readings must be the same
while conducting the survey.
Equation
D = K x S x Cos2
(θ) + C x Cos
D = Horizontal distance between survey point and instrument
S = Difference between top stadia and bottom stadia
θ = Vertical angle of telescope from the horizontal line when capturing the stadia readings.
K = Multiplying constant given by the manufacturer of the theodolite, normally 100
C = Addictive factor given by the manufacturer of the theodolite, normally 0
TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT

We can calculate the distance by using stadia method which is use top stadia and bottom stadia
readings.
The calculation of the stadia method is below follow by the distance:
Dab = 100 x (0.4887) x Cos2
(0) + 0 x Cos (0) = 48.8626m
Dbc = 100 x (0.29355) x Cos2
(0) + 0 x Cos (0) = 29.3505m
Dcd = 100 x (0.4795) x Cos2
(0) + 0 x Cos (0) = 47.9427m
Dda = 100 x (0.2989) x Cos2
(0) + 0 x Cos (0) = 29.8854m

5.0 DISCUSSION
From this fieldwork, we learnt to conduct a traverse survey by using a theodolite and
several formulas that we learnt during traversing class. Throughout this survey, we can be able to
applied the technique and knowledge thought by our lecturer, Mr. Chai.
From this survey, we know that point A, B, C and D are laid out on the site respectively.
The theodolite will be placed on point A which is our starting point and started to conduct our
survey. The angles that we get from the theodolite must be read from left to the right in order to
obtain a more accurate reading.
The zero angle will be set on point A as well and turned the theodolite to point D and
measure to get the stadia reading as well as the horizontal and vertical angles. After we get the all
the readings and the angles from one point, we switch the theodolite to another point and repeat
the same procedure again to get another point of readings.
What we found out that was really hard for us is we couldn’t get the spirit bubble into the
black circle. But after Mr. Chai had taught us, finally we can measure ourselves very fast and
accurately.
At the end of the process, the total angles must be 360°. However, in our report from the
table of the field data, the total angle was 357° 57’ 00’’. Thus, we knew that there was a
misclosure error occurred as there is a difference of 3’ 00’’. Means in every angle we measured,
there is a 45’’ of error. Therefore, we used the trigonometry traversing calculation technique to
solve it.
Lastly, at the end, we found that the latitude and departure also have a minor error of
0.0337 (Latitude) and 0.0282 (Departure). We solved it by using the compass rule. After compile
everything, the report is finally done.

6.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this is our second fieldwork which is traversing. In this fieldwork, we were
required to carry out a closed loop traverse survey that is located at the car park. A special
characteristic of a closed loop traverse is it starts and ends at the same point, forming a closed
geometric figure called a polygon. My fellow group mates and I conduct the survey together at
the car park. Two of them is holding the leveling staff, one of a group mate is recording down the
data while one of the group member is taking the readings for the traverse survey.
As we taught in class that the horizontal reading must be taken twice which is the first
reading is taken, then turn back again to take the second reading. We also did recorded the top
stadia, middle stadia and bottom stadia readings to calculate the length of the perimeter of the
traverse since we didn’t have a measuring tape.
The angles are usually obtained through the usage of equipment provided by our lecturer.
However, we were unable to obtain the exact reading of 360°, therefore, some adjustment was
made in order to achieve 360°in our traverse survey completely.
Although the formula was really hard for us to understand and apply compare to leveling,
but we try hard to learning with a spirit of not giving up. We really do likes site surveying
because we can actually feel that we are working together.
In a nutshell, we thanks our lecturer Mr. Chai for giving us an opportunities to learn and
hands on in leveling. We hope that next time we can have a chance to conduct a survey like this
again.

  • 3. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 3 1.0 INTRODUCTION TO TRAVERSING Traversing is a form of a control survey that requires the establishment of a series of stations that are linked together by angles and distance. It can be open traverse and close traverse. The angles are measured by theodolites and the distance can be measured by calculating the stadia’s reading or using electronic distance measuring equipment. The use of theodolites in traversing survey is one of the most common methods in engineering work to get the provision of control surveys, angle measurement and detail mapping. 1.1 OPEN TRAVERSE Figure 1.0: Open Traverse Sources: http://mygeosurvey.blogspot.my/ Open traverse is a series of measured straight lunes and angles that do not geometrically close or a surveying traverse that fails to terminate at the starting point and does not completely enclose a polygon. It ends at a station whose relative position is not previously known. It is the least desirable type of traverse because it provides no check on fieldwork or starting data.
  • 4. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 4 1.2 CLOSED TRAVERSE Closed traverse is a series of connected line which end at the starting point. It is basically a traverse proceed from one coordinate point to another. A closed traverse may be close back to its starting point or whose relative position is known. Closed traverse can be in two types:  Closed Loop Traverse Figure 1.1: Closed loop Traverse Sources: http://mygeosurvey.blogspot.my/ A closed loop traverse starts and ends on the starting point with assumed coordinates and azimuth without affecting the area, computations or relative position of the stations. It usually need at least 4 point to conduct this survey. The coordinates must be tied to an existing grid system and the traverse must start from a known station which is azimuth on that system. Closed loop traverse provides some check upon fieldwork and computations, it does not provide for check of data that may cause systematic error during the survey.
  • 5. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 5  Closed Connecting Traverse Figure 1.2: Closed Connecting Traverse Sources: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-2/fig5-6.gif A closed connecting traverse is almost looks like an open traverse, the only different between closed loop traverse and closed connecting traverse is it begins and ends at points or lines of known position and the direction at each of the particular traverse.
  • 6. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 6 1.3 NORTHING There are 3 reference direction or datum meridian that are used as traverse reference. Which is Magnetic North, Grid North and True North (Geodetic North).  Magnetic North Angle are measured from magnetic north. Since magnetic fields fluctuate over time, this meridian is time-dependent. The magnetic fields will orientate a free swinging magnetic needle in a north or south direction.  Grid North A grid of lines parallel to the true meridian of one point on the grid, usually the origin of the grid. The angle is dependent on the map projection. Since the central meridian point to true north, when we move east or west away from the meridian, the difference between grid north and true north will increases.  True North True North is the direction along the earth’s surface towards to the geographic North Pole which all the lines of longitude converge. Historically south has occasionally been used.

Which is between the ranges from 0°to 360°. For example: 128°, 239°and 351°. Generally, the angles should be measured only from the north.
  • 8. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 8 1.5 BEARINGS Figure 1.4: Bearings Sources: http://www.engr.mun.ca/~sitotaw/Site/Fall2007_files/TP_Lecture9_CloseTravers- ENGI3703.pdf Bearings is defined as an acute angle which is less than 90°. It is a horizontal angles measured from the meridian either east or west. Usually required two letter with an acute angle which is North (N), South (S), East (E) & West (W). The different between azimuths and bearing is bearing can be measured both either clockwise or counter clockwise. It can be measured from North or South axis of the meridian.
  • 9. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 9 2.0 OBJECTIVE  To learn the principles of running a closed field traverse.  To enhance students’ knowledge in traversing procedure.  To establish ground control for photographic mapping.  To enable students to get hands-on experience in setting up and working with the theodolites, leveling rod, tripod stand as well as other instruments and collect the data of the relevant fieldwork.  To allow students to learn the correct method in doing traversing,  To allow students to apply the theories that had been taught in classes to a hands-on situation.  To enable students to identify the error and make adjustment to the data by using the correct formula.  Learn how to compute a traverse and properly adjust the measured values of a closed traverse to achieve mathematical closure.  Determine the error of closure and compute the accuracy of work.
  • 10. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 10 3.0 OUTLINE OF APPARATUS 3.1 THEODOLITE Figure 1.5: Theodolite Sources: http://www.visurveyinstruments.co.za/image/cache/data/DT-209-500x500.jpg Theodolite is a precision instrument for measuring angles in both horizontal and vertical planes. It is used to identify the ground level and the ways to construct super structure or sub structure. A theodolites consists of a small sized movable telescope mounted within two perpendicular axis which are horizontal and vertical axis. It also able to rotate 360 degree on a tripod stand that’s where we get angles from it. When the telescope is pointed at a target object, the angle of each axis can be measured with great precision. It is commonly used to measure horizontal and vertical angles, ranging and leveling as well as controlling verticality.
  • 11. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 11 3.2 TRIPOD STAND Figure 1.6: Tripod Stand Sources: http://www.toolup.com/product-images/2161_1.jpg A tripod stand is a three-legged support platform for the level. The main function of the tripod stand is to ensure a stable instrument setup for reliable measurements. The legs of the tripod can be adjust to get the vertical height that required. Once the instrument is moved, then it must be set up again which is to loosen the screw and adjust again and lock it back tight. It usually has a flat tip and a mounting screw for instrument attachment. It is also to make sure that the leveling tripod placed horizontally. .
  • 12. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 12 3.3 OPTICAL PLUMMET Figure 1.7: Optical Plummet Sources: https://www.hayesinstrument.com/accs_TopconTribrachOP.jpg Optical Plummets is a device that used to center the instrument over a ground station. It is used in place of a plumb bob to center transits and theodolites over a given point, preferred for its steadiness in strong winds. The procedure speeds up the setting up process as well as protect the instrument from accident, because it has a lock below the optical plummet to lock the devices that used in fieldwork. Sometimes, the optical plummet can be used to perform angular or distance measurements from the survey point.
  • 13. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 13 3.4 RANGING ROD Figure 1.8: Ranging Rod Sources: http://3.imimg.com/data3/JA/BD/MY-2853543/steel-ranging-rods-500x500.jpg Ranging rod is used to mark areas and to set out straight lines on the field. It is also used to mark points that must be seen from a distance. The length of the ranging rod is either 2m or 3m. It is made up of wood or metal. Ranging rod usually painted with alternate red-white or black-white bands.

TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 14 3.5 SPIRIT BUBBLE Figure 1.8: Spirit Bubble Sources: http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1nZ8OJXXXXXaZXpXXq6xXFXXXw/34-20-12mm- Metal-Bullseye-Level-Circular-vials-Bubble-Spirit-Level-with-Mounting-holes-Accuracy-8.jpg The spirit bubble is used for maintaining both level rods and sighting poles in a vertical position. An out of adjustment of spirit bubble level will cause accumulative error in level lines. It can used in traversing and leveling measurements in fieldworks. In order to get an accurate measurement for both, the spirit bubble level must be inside the middle of the black circle. It is located on the optical plummet and leveling rod.

A plumb bob consist of a piece of metal pointing downwards, which is attached to cord. It is normally tie on the optical plummet by using the string. When the plumb bob is hanging free and not moving, the cord is vertical. It is used to mark a point directly under theodolite as well.

The horizontal and vertical distances between the survey points and the theodolites can be calculated using the equation. The differences between the top stadia readings and the bottom stadia readings must be the same while conducting the survey. Equation D = K x S x Cos2 (θ) + C x Cos D = Horizontal distance between survey point and instrument S = Difference between top stadia and bottom stadia θ = Vertical angle of telescope from the horizontal line when capturing the stadia readings. K = Multiplying constant given by the manufacturer of the theodolite, normally 100 C = Addictive factor given by the manufacturer of the theodolite, normally 0

  • 24. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 24 5.0 DISCUSSION From this fieldwork, we learnt to conduct a traverse survey by using a theodolite and several formulas that we learnt during traversing class. Throughout this survey, we can be able to applied the technique and knowledge thought by our lecturer, Mr. Chai. From this survey, we know that point A, B, C and D are laid out on the site respectively. The theodolite will be placed on point A which is our starting point and started to conduct our survey. The angles that we get from the theodolite must be read from left to the right in order to obtain a more accurate reading. The zero angle will be set on point A as well and turned the theodolite to point D and measure to get the stadia reading as well as the horizontal and vertical angles. After we get the all the readings and the angles from one point, we switch the theodolite to another point and repeat the same procedure again to get another point of readings. What we found out that was really hard for us is we couldn’t get the spirit bubble into the black circle. But after Mr. Chai had taught us, finally we can measure ourselves very fast and accurately. At the end of the process, the total angles must be 360°. However, in our report from the table of the field data, the total angle was 357° 57’ 00’’. Thus, we knew that there was a misclosure error occurred as there is a difference of 3’ 00’’. Means in every angle we measured, there is a 45’’ of error. Therefore, we used the trigonometry traversing calculation technique to solve it. Lastly, at the end, we found that the latitude and departure also have a minor error of 0.0337 (Latitude) and 0.0282 (Departure). We solved it by using the compass rule. After compile everything, the report is finally done.
  • 25. TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY | SABD | SITE SURVEYING (QSB 60103) | TRAVERSING REPORT 25 6.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, this is our second fieldwork which is traversing. In this fieldwork, we were required to carry out a closed loop traverse survey that is located at the car park. A special characteristic of a closed loop traverse is it starts and ends at the same point, forming a closed geometric figure called a polygon. My fellow group mates and I conduct the survey together at the car park. Two of them is holding the leveling staff, one of a group mate is recording down the data while one of the group member is taking the readings for the traverse survey. As we taught in class that the horizontal reading must be taken twice which is the first reading is taken, then turn back again to take the second reading. We also did recorded the top stadia, middle stadia and bottom stadia readings to calculate the length of the perimeter of the traverse since we didn’t have a measuring tape. The angles are usually obtained through the usage of equipment provided by our lecturer. However, we were unable to obtain the exact reading of 360°, therefore, some adjustment was made in order to achieve 360°in our traverse survey completely. Although the formula was really hard for us to understand and apply compare to leveling, but we try hard to learning with a spirit of not giving up. We really do likes site surveying because we can actually feel that we are working together. In a nutshell, we thanks our lecturer Mr. Chai for giving us an opportunities to learn and hands on in leveling. We hope that next time we can have a chance to conduct a survey like this again.
