Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 3
This online engineering PDH course examines the principles and surveying practices used in hydrographic, dredge, construction, and excavation measurement surveys for civil works and infrastructure projects.
This course focuses on hydrographic and dredging surveys, including sounding methods, depth measurement procedures, positioning systems, river and harbor surveys, channel surveys, dredging control, and underwater data collection techniques used for navigation, hydraulic engineering, and water resources projects.
In addition, this course explores construction layout surveys, quantity and excavation surveys, borrow area surveys, earthwork measurements, cross-section surveys, and volume computations used to support construction operations, excavation control, and project progress monitoring. The course also discusses survey control requirements, field procedures, accuracy considerations, and documentation methods associated with construction and quantity determination surveys.
So, this course covers practical and technical approaches for collecting, processing, and evaluating survey data used in hydrographic mapping, dredging operations, construction layout, and earthwork computations. It also emphasizes field measurement techniques, survey accuracy standards, control procedures, and engineering applications associated with civil works construction and hydraulic infrastructure projects.
This 9 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about control and topographic surveying.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding hydrographic surveying principles, sounding methods, and underwater positioning procedures used in civil works projects
- Recognizing dredging survey requirements, channel survey methods, and hydraulic measurement applications used in navigation and water resources engineering
- Applying construction survey procedures, layout techniques, and field control methods used in engineering and infrastructure projects
- Understanding quantity survey methods, cross-section surveys, and earthwork volume computation procedures used in excavation and borrow area analysis
- Recognizing survey accuracy requirements, field observation procedures, and documentation practices associated with construction and hydrographic surveys
- Applying practical survey data collection, processing, and evaluation techniques used in dredging operations, construction monitoring, and excavation control
- Understanding the role of hydrographic, construction, and quantity surveys in supporting engineering planning, construction operations, and infrastructure development projects
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Control and Topographic Surveying - Part 3”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Publication No. EM 1110-1-1005, Chapters 8 through 13 of “Control and Topographic Surveying”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty-five (45) questions to earn 9 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
