Being a Surveyor is not…. ‘Mission: Impossible’

  18. Your Mission… (if you decide to accept it!) • To measure as accurately as possible the area of a ‘plot’ of land (defined by relevant coloured pins) and then subdivide into two equal areas. • Using ‘Old technology’ All in 50 minutes!! and then check it … • using ‘New technology’ All in 30 minutes!!! Or Less!!

  19. The Mission - Field Exercise The following tools are available: • Measuring Tapes • Optical Squares • Compass • Ranging Rods NOTE – it is not expected that the exercise canbe completed in the allocated time but a processof how the task would be completed is required. And afterwards we will do it the easy way to check your results!
