    Traversing is a type of surveying that involves measuring the directions and lengths of connected survey lines to establish a network of points. There are several methods of traversing depending on the instruments used, including chain traversing, chain and compass traversing, transit tape traversing, and plane table traversing. Traversing is used for mapping boundaries, construction projects, and establishing geodetic control points. The document then describes the procedure for conducting a traversing survey using a theodolite to measure horizontal and vertical angles between survey stations.

    TRAVERSING

    Traversing is that type of survey in which a number of con-


    nected survey lines from the framework and the directions and the
    lengths of the survey lines are measured with the help of an angle
    (or direction) measuring instrument and a tape (or chain) respect-
    ively. When the lines from a circuit which ends at the starting
    point, it is known as a closed traverse. If the circuit which ends
    elsewhere, it is said to be an open traverse. The closed traverse is
    suitable for locating the boundaries of lakes, woods etc. And for
    the survey of large areas. The open traverse is suitable for survey-
    ing a long narrow strip of land as required for a road or canal or
    the coast line.

    METHODS OF TRAVERSING:

    There are several methods of traversing. Depending on the


    instruments used in determining the relative directions of the tra-
    verse lines.

    • Chain traversing
    • Chain and compass traversing
    • Transit tape traversing
    • By fast needle method
    • By measurement of angles between the lines.
    • Plane table traversing
    Application:

    It involves measuring both angles and distances between


    survey points, which can be used to create a polygonal network of
    connected lines. Traversing is commonly used for various survey-
    ing purposes, such as establishing property boundaries, mapping,
    construction, and geodetic control.

    AIM:

    To establish the ground control points and to determine the co-


    ordinates of the points using traversing.

    APPARATUS REQUIRED:

    1. Theodolite

    2. Tripodstand
    3. Measuring tape

    4. Ranging Rods

    PROCEDURE:

    • Set the instrument at the banner point. After levelling and center-
    ing, mark the centre point on the ground by using the plumb bob.
    • The vernier A is set to 0 degree and the vernier B is set to 180 de-
    gree. The readings in the vernier C and the vernier D are set to 0
    degree. The upper clamp and the lower clamp are clamped. The
    lower clamp is released and the telescope of the other theodolite
    at the Foot hill Station (FS) is bisected and the vertical angle is
    noted from vernier C and D.
    • The upper clamp is now released and the telescope of the
    theodolite in the bridge station is bisected and clamped. The ver-
    tical and horizontal angles of this station are noted. The upper
    clamp is now released and the telescope of the theodolite in the
    tree station is bisected and clamped. The vertical and horizontal
    angles of this station are noted. After this, the theodolite is
    brought back to the Foothill station and the closing horizontal and
    the vertical angles .
    • The same procedure is repeated by shifting stations in the anti-
    clockwise direction and the angles are measured.
