Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 1
This online engineering CPD course covers the principles and practices used in various surveying applications for civil work and infrastructure projects.
This course focuses on reconnaissance and detailed topographic surveys, including map scales, contour intervals, horizontal and vertical control, benchmark establishment, utility mapping, and the collection of physical and elevation data required for engineering planning and design.
In addition, this course explores utility surveys, as-built surveys, reservation boundary surveys, reservoir clearing surveys, upland disposal area surveys, channel improvement and cutoff surveys, post-flood high water mark surveys, route surveys, and bridge surveys used for engineering, construction, mapping, and infrastructure management applications.
So, this course covers surveying procedures, mapping requirements, monumentation practices, alignment surveys, control networks, route survey methods, and field data collection techniques used to support engineering analysis, project planning, and long-term facility management. It also emphasizes accuracy standards, quality considerations, documentation requirements, and practical field applications associated with civil works surveying projects.
This 10 CPD online course is applicable to civil engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about hydrographic surveying.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding principles and procedures used in reconnaissance and detailed topographic surveys
- Recognizing map scales, contour intervals, control requirements, and benchmark establishment practices used in engineering surveys
- Applying general utility surveying and mapping methods for aboveground and underground infrastructure systems
- Understanding as-built surveys, route surveys, and bridge survey procedures used in construction and infrastructure projects
- Recognizing boundary survey requirements, monumentation practices, and reservation mapping procedures
- Applying reservoir clearing survey methods, high water mark surveys, and channel improvement survey techniques used in hydraulic and civil works projects
- Understanding field data collection procedures, accuracy standards, and documentation requirements associated with topographic surveying
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 1”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Publication No. EM 1110-1-1005, Chapters 1 through 4 of “Control and Topographic Surveying”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifty (50) questions to earn 10 CPD credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
