ASCE Manual of Practice No. 152 PDF download

Sponsored by the Surveying Committee of the Surveying and Geomatics Division of the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute of ASCE

Surveying and Geomatic Engineering: Principles, Technologies, and Applications, MOP 152, is a comprehensive yet general overview to help support education and inform practicing engineers on the important role of the surveying engineer. It provides a much-needed update on the modern practice of surveying and geomatic engineering.

Topics include

-Geodesy,

-Least squares adjustments,

-Error propagation,

-Coordinate systems and transformations,

-Surveying and remote sensing equipment,

-Identification and establishment of control,

-Construction surveying, and

-Best practices.

MOP 152 can be used as a summary and a reference for practicing engineers, surveying and otherwise, to help provide a solid understanding of the state of the surveying and geomatic engineering field.
