Abdesreport

The document outlines the surveying process for a proposed underground electrical cable route around a substation, detailing a closed traverse with six stations (A to F) and the use of a theodolite and EDM for measurements. It includes calculations for angular closure, error adjustments, and the determination of bearings, azimuths, and corrected internal angles. The final results provide side lengths, corrected lengths, and coordinates for each station, concluding with the area of the polygon formed by the traverse.

Objective:

“You are tasked with surveying a proposed underground electrical cable route around a
substation facility. A closed traverse is conducted around the site, forming a polygonal loop. The
traverse will consist of six stations (A to F), and observations are to be taken using a theodolite
and EDM. “

Attached above is the irregular hexagon created using the site “Geogebra”. So far, we have the
following values:
Course Angles without error Angles with error
Distance
AB 3.3 A = 107 ̊ 26’55.2” -
BC 3.7 B= 133 ̊ 31’ 3.2” -
CD 3.2 C = 136 ̊ 39’ 16.1” -
DE 4.1 D = 94̊ 33’ 56.7” -
EF 4.6 E = 118 ̊ 35’ 38.2” -
FA 2.5 F = 129 13’ 10.5” 129 13’ 50.5”
Since the site produces a perfect closed polygon, we add an error in the readings because in
practical situations, the readings contain some sort of error, which can be personal, instrumental,
etc.

For my case, I added an error of 13” in the first angle, angle ‘A’. I chose the number 13 because
the last three digits of my roll number are ‘013’, thus I produced an error of 0’13”, as per the
instructions of my instructor.

Determining angular closure:


Angles without error Angles with error
A = 107 ̊ 26’55.2” -
B= 133 ̊ 31’ 3.2” -
C = 136 ̊ 39’ 16.1” -
D = 94̊ 33’ 56.7” -
E = 118 ̊ 35’ 38.2” -
F = 129 13’ 10.5” 129 13’ 50.5”

Σ interior angles = 720 ̊ Σ interior angles = 720 0′39.9"


𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 = |720 ̊ − 720 ̊ 0′ 13"| = 0 ̊ 0' 39.9"

Now we have an error in our readings. Before we take azimuths or bearings, we always have to
rectify the error by either ‘arbitrary balancing’, or ‘equal balancing’. Let us suppose a real-life
scenario in which we are aware that there was some sort of issue or error at site A. Either the
surveyor was inexperienced or the instrument wasn’t correctly leveled. Thus, using arbitrary
balancing, we’ll subtract 13” from angle A.

Now that we are certain the polygon is a closed polygon, we can begin finding it’s bearings and
azimuths.
