I'm a Florida Surveyor with over 35 years experience, 29 of those years outside in the field. I'm so happy to see all of your interest in the profession. I had lots of adventures, sometimes fun, sometimes not so much. But always interesting. I have 4 words of advice for you. One, don't get killed, always be aware of your surroundings. Two, don't get sued, meticulous attention to details is of the utmost importance. Three, cover up when out in the sun. It's so hot here in Florida, I neglected my skin and have many scars from the skin cancer being removed. And 4, always take time to enjoy the day, watch the sunrise, listen to the birds, enjoy not being tied to a desk.

Surveying is physically demanding but it can pretty fun and challenging. Thanks for showing this video!

Watching from England, while I'm not an engineer I am a salesman of survey equipment, as such there is little to no training for anyone outside of being an surveyor here, so guys like me have to learn the basics on our own, not ideal. Your videos however have proven to be a fantastic resource, so just wanted to say a huge thank you for the video uploads, I especially like the fact you address other units not just the Sokkia one you are using, here in the UK we see a lot more of Topcon & Leica units over the others so short mentions of what other manufacturers may do is a small but valuable touch. Cheers fella.

If your total station is in tracking mode and you want the exact position of the light pole, place your rod at the lightpole at a point perpendicular to the line TS-Polecenter, take a distance measurement, then move the rod in line TS-Lightpole and save the point. Don't know about Topcon, but works with Leica&Trimble total stations.
@RamiTamimi 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah that would be the formal way to do it. However, this is a beginners video, so I will cover this in a more advanced version in the future.
@scottbuck9348 2 жыл бұрын
With topcon, you would place your prizm against the light pole and then go into edit points, then edit raw data and measure the distance from C/L flog pole to center of prizm and add that measurement to your Away raw data. It’s pretty easy after you’ve used topcon acouple times!

@RamiTamimi 3 жыл бұрын
This is what is known as Grid/Ground. When we survey a small site like this, we use Grid coordinates since we assume earth is flat. Why? Because the earth is so big, that in this small 1 acre site, accounting for the earth's curvature is really insignificant. So we ignore it.

I can't believe you didn't offset that light pole. what if an engineer decides, on a 71 degree sunny day with 0% humidity, to come out and stake out your work. he's going to ask you why the light pole is 4 tenths off. then you'll say, "I made a sketch. it's in the field book." then he'll say, "what field book." I kid because I relate.

I've never used a total station but I am going to be soon. I've got 4 years working on the gr5 topcon system. I'm just curious why you wouldn't continue your lines from start to finish one at a time rather than applying "new Codes" every shot working perpendicular to your OG line starts. For the GR5 you can basically start your line and just hit enter to add the lineworke+points. it seems like a faster approach to bouncing around and trying to remember the point codes.
@RamiTamimi 3 жыл бұрын
A GR5 (GNSS Reciever) isn't as precise as a total station. So while it might be easier to use, it has its draw backs. You could just start new codes everytime, but you might get into a situation where you're on Concrete line 24 and have to type in C24 on your controller. If you're okay with that then go for it, otherwise you can end a line and reuse the same number without the two sections connecting.
