 Field Procedures
Construct a base line that consists of two control points with known local coordinates, Law and Econ. ADD A TABLE
HERE CONTAINING THE COORDINATES OF THE 4 CONTROL POINTS
>> please add detailed steps on how to do stn setup in TS.
Proceed to Econ and backsight Law to get the azimuth from the South. >> please add detailed steps on how to do stn setup in TS
(INPUT OF COORDINATES, HI, HT, WHEN TO PRESS MSR, ENT ETC)
For every backsight, take note of the azimuth error of closure. Check if it meets the standard error of 1:5000. >>> for
every backsight, roughly compute REC by getting the ratio between the dHD (from the instrument) and the sum of
observed distances to check if theyre still within the required accuracy of 1:5000. DO NOT PROCEED TO NEXT LINE
W/O MEETING THE REQUIREMENT
If the error does not meet the requirement, the backsight would have to be repeated.
Foresight the next point after Econ and record the coordinates and horizontal distance. Let that point be TP 1. >> please
add detailed steps on how to do FORESIGHT in TS. YUNG READINGS SHOULD BE N, E
Set up the total station at TP 1
From TP 1, backsight Econ to get the azimuth from the preceding line. Remember to repeat steps 3 and 4 for every
backsight.
Repeat the steps 5-7, establishing appropriate control points along the traverse.
Include two points on the traverse, one between Econ and Vinzons and the other one located between Vinzons and
Educ. Ensure that the sunken garden is visible and the control points Econ, Law, Vinzons, Educ can be seen. >>
NAGAWA NA DAPAT ITO NUNG LEVELING
Continue the closed loop (not loop) traverse until Econ is foresighted
Make sure to pass Vinzons and Educ, the two other control points with known coordinates, for checking.

MARECORD YUNG AZIMUTH PARA SA PAGCHECK NG AEC.
Compute for AEC and LEC. If the computed values are within the allowable values, proceed to computing adjusted latitudes, departures, and
REC. Moreover, REC should be checked if its within the allowable value before proceeding to traverse adjustment.
Perform other necessary computations for traverse adjustment.
