Surveying: With Construction Applications

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. The volume examines surveying principles including surveying fundamentals, distance measurement, leveling, geomatics, global positioning systems (GPS) and construction control surveys, as well as highway, municipal street, pipeline and tunnel, culvert and bridge and building construction surveys. For those involved in civil engineering and construction/building technology.
