SVT 2040Control Surveys3
Accuracy levels and field procedures used to obtain them are explored. Calculation techniques for control networks, triangulations, trilateration and traverse use are dealt with at length. G.P.S. will be emphasized. It is recommended students complete SVT 1120 prior to taking this course.
This course is about writing and understanding survey legal descriptions. Latent and patent ambiguities, basis of bearing and interpretation of terms are integrated into the course.
Land planning techniques used in residential and commercial developments are discussed. Subdivision, condominiums, cluster housing, industrial parks and commercial complexes are studied and approval procedures are explained.
The study of responsibilities of the land boundary surveyor, in protecting rights and interest of the land. Ownership and transfer of real property, systems for land descriptions, statute law, common law and presumptions are discussed.
Course studies researching of common law, location of sequential conveyances, location of simultaneous conveyances and unwritten transfers. It is recommended students complete SVT 2160 prior to taking this course.
Students will study public records relating to land and its governing laws. This course requires tours of local record systems and law libraries. Extensive research and how to access and use the various systems will be explored.
This course is to develop a working knowledge of CAD as it relates to the profession of land surveying. Designing and drafting plats, utility master plans, digital terrain models, plan and profile sheets, and layouts from legal descriptions will be covered.
