INTRODUCTION
A traverse survey is one in which the framework consists of a series of connected lines, the lengths
and direction of which are measured with the help of tape or chain and an angle measuring instrument
Besides, traverse survey consists of an interconnected series of lines, running between
a series of points on the ground called traverse stations. A traverse survey is performed to
measure both the distances between the stations and the angle between the lines
When the lines from a circuit which ends at the starting point, the survey is termed a closed traverse, if
the circuit does not close, the traverse as known as open one.The closed traverse is suitable for wide . This
method is applied for accurate and precise survey but for this fieldwork, we have to estimate our own distance
by using pegs.

THEORY
Travers survey method used to measure the distance between two stations and the
angle between the lines. It is including the measuring processes of the horizontal angle and
horizontal distance. The two dimension coordinate (x, y) can be issued based on the measured
data. Other than that, traverse survey has been used to form the controlled points that can be
used for another project.
Furthermore, when the lines of the circuit end at the starting point, the survey is
termed as closed traversed. This traverse starts with the known point and end with the other
known point is called as chains traverse. In the other words, traverse also can start and end at
the same point and it is known as a polygon. The aim of this traverse is to get the accuracy of
the measurement (angle error and the ratio of the distance error) can be detected.

INSTRUMENTS
A total station is an electronic instrument used in modern surveying. The total station
is an electronic theodolite integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM) to read
slope distances from the instrument to a particular point. It is also used in distance
measurement, angle measurement and also coordinate measurement.
2. Tripod (3 sets)
The figure which is located above is called a tripod, a tripod is a portable three-legged
frame, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of
the total station and the total station prism. A tripod provides stability against
downward forces and horizontal forces and movements about horizontal axes. The
positioning of the three legs away from the vertical centre allows the tripod better
leverage for resisting lateral forces.
The type of prism used must be exactly the same with the type of total station or else
some errors in reading will occur. A prism is essential for most EDM and total station.
The prism is used to return the transmitted beam to the total station to allow a distance
to be determined by the time of phase comparison. It is constructed from glass cubes
that will return the beam along a path that is exactly parallel to the line of the incident
path.

WORK PROCEDURE
a) Early preparation:
1. The review process carried out prior to starting work this traverse. # This is done by
looking around the work area in order to plan and choose a suitable place to plant a
picket to be used as a station. Besides, the number of the station will also be
determined.
2. The distance between the lines traversing shall exceed 5 meters of each other and
must be seen to make observations bearing and distance. $ Measurement shall be
conducted in the clockwise direction.
3. Pickets are used as control points must be planted firmly and be in a safe place and
not in a way that does not interfere.
4. Datum for the first traverse lines taken from a given reference plan.
b) Way of works:
1. Set up the tripod at station 2.Open its leg and adjust the height so that about peer chest
and adjust its position so that the surface looks flat according to observers.
2. Total Station instrument is placed on the tripod.
3. Centering is done by loosening the screw tightening tripod and tripod moved up
showing just above the picket of the eyepiece plummet.
4. Perform adjustment of air bubbles. This adjustment is intended to position the air
bubbles to always be in the middle of the tube path in any direction shown by the
binoculars.
5. Repeat the process on the prism mounted on the stations 1 and 3.
c) Steps:
1. Turn the telescope so that the position of the bubble tube with two screws parallel
track, saying screw the screws A and B. Turn the two screws in the opposite direction
so that the air bubble is in the middle of the tube.
2. Turn the telescope in position 90 from position (1) and move the three screws (C)
until the air bubble is in the middle of the tube.

DISCUSSION
In this traverse work, there were some error occurred which made our measurements
inaccurate faced and fortunately still managed to solve all those problems. One of the
problems is we had complication in the setting up process. The survey instruments are hard to
handle it where we faced difficulties in adjusting the bubble in the center of the circle.
Although we do not have any problem with the distance as we are told to use the measuring
tape. So, it is very important to make sure that the bubble at the center of the circle. Those
errors were the total station and prism did not been set up properly. When the total station and
prism were not well set up, the reading will misread thus create error because the total station
is not level. The other factor that causes error is the unstable condition of the soil either it is
too soft or hard. During our practical, the condition of the weather was bad where it was a
rainy season. Therefore, after the tripod has been set up in the unstable soil, slowly sink into
the ground, thus creating an error in the total station and prism. So, the condition of the
instruments was unstable and the bubble was no longer in the center of the circle. Therefore,
we were told to repeat the whole traverse work in order to obtain accurate readings. The
defect in the total station and prism that been used in the traverse work also create error in the
reading where the refraction of the total station creates error while taking the readings. The
other reason is that the prism was not placed at the exact point. When the prism was not well
placed for example the prism was place at the side of the point, the bearing will have a slight
difference from the exact bearing. The mistake in booking will also contribute to the error. If
one of the values is wrong, it will affect the overall calculation. So, we really make sure that
the total station and prism is level and well set up by referring the bubble which should be in
the centre of the circle and the datum that being used is checked first before proceed with the
readings. Besides, the traverse work should be started and ended at the same known datum
line. Lastly, before finishing the traverse work, we make sure the misclosure does not
exceed the allowable misclosure.

CONCLUSION
From the traverse work, the coordinates for each peg and station were determined.
The traverse maps surrounding the faculty of civil engineering building have been obtained
and plotted using the software. Coordinates will represent the value in mapping the traverse
plan. From that, we can use the plan for the tachymetry work and the setting up also can be
done. The level of understanding towards the theory and concept of traverse work is being
improved. The skills of using the equipment of the laboratory is enhanced where can be able
to handle the total station and prism correctly. All the data that have been calculated was
accurate and perfect where the distances and bearing between each and every point was
correct. We repeatedly read the reading of the instruments many times in order to avoid
parallax error for a better result. Besides, we also had though time placing the bubble right
into the circle but as we try doing it many times, we finally managed the art of handling the
bubble staff. The plan consists of every characteristics of the curves and the coordinates. All
the data and levelling reading is acceptable under and over the tolerances. Hence, a good time
management and an attitude of cooperating with group member is achieved.
