What are the advantage and disadvantage of total station?

Answer 1



Vertical elevation accuracy not as accurate as using conventional

survey level and rod technique.



Horizontal coordinates are calculated on a rectangular grid system.

However, the real world should be based on a spheroid and

rectangular coordinates must be transformed to geographic

Examples : highways, large buildings, etc.



As with any computer-based application "Garbage in equals

Garbage out". However, in the case of inaccurate construction

surveys "Garbage in equals lawsuits and contractors claims for

extras."
