View larger. Request a copy. Download instructor resources. Alternative formats. This streamlined, fully updated Fifth Edition maintains the same accessible, applications-driven approach as its predecessors—beginning with a firm foundation in the principles of surveying, then supporting this foundation with real-world construction applications.

While Kavanagh does reflect the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation, coverage also includes in-depth discussions of more traditional topics. It's the best text I've found to integrate fundamental land surveying with construction. Students have found it to be thorough and helpful, and it is an outstanding reference for practicing surveyors and engineers.

Bazlamit, Ohio Northern University. Provides students with state-of-the-art data collection techniques; and state-of-the-art data processing, data analyses and data presentation techniques. Allows students to apply surveying theory in practical, current, and relevant applications. Provides students with the latest information in the field and enables them to learn typical engineering applications in the construction field.

Refers students to relevant Internet resources, providing enrichment activities for those who want more in-depth coverage of text material.

Gives students hands-on experience in mastering a variety of surveying instrumentation and a chance to apply the concepts. Enables students to use both metric and imperial practice, so that they are better prepared for all types of surveying practice.

Taking into account recent advances in the field, the material has been fully updated and revised throughout including new and up-to-date coverage of levelling, total stations, detail surveys, and EDM. In spite of the very impressive developments which render engineering surveying one of the most technologically advanced subjects, the material is arranged to introduce the reader to elementary procedures and instrumentation, giving a clear understanding of the basic concept of measurement as applied to the capture, processing and presentation of spatial data.

Chapters 1 and 4 deal with the basic principles of surveying, vertical control, and linear and angular measurement, in order to permit the student early access to the associated equipment. Chapter 6 deals with control surveys, paying particular attention to GPS, which even in its present incomplete stage has had a revolutionary impact on all aspects of surveying.
