the special type of theodolite used to measure horizontal and vertical distance and horizontal angle.
The prismatic compass is a type of compass use for survering a land.
Surveying is the back bone of construction projects, we must need surveying before starting a construction project, during execution of construction activities and after completion of project. Before starting project surveying help us in design and calculation of quantities. During execution of construction activities surveying is most important thing, It help us to maintain the exact locations and heights. After completion of project surveying is called topographic surveying and it helps us to prepare the As-Built drawings, to make comparison between design and actual constructed structures, to check the differences.
it is a type of surveying in which we can plot the area in the field rapidly.we can also find our error in the field and solve it.
chain surveying is one of the types of survey methods. It is used to survey short length lands
Height of Instrument
The tacheometric constant is a factor used in tacheometry, a method for measuring distances and heights using an optical instrument called a tacheometer. It accounts for the curvature of the Earth and atmospheric refraction when calculating the height of a point relative to the instrument's position.
The main difference is the method of measuring distances. Tacheometry is optical. A total station uses electromagnetic waves. Distances measured using Tacheometry are determined by multiplying the difference in readings to a levelling staff between the upper and lower stadia hairs, by a constant (usually 100). A Total station, by definition, is a theodolite with a built-in EDM measuring device. This sends out a signal of a known wavelength to a reflector and calculates the distance by measuring the time it takes for the signal to return.
Plain Surveying Geodetical Surveying

The main classes of surveying are geodetic surveying, topographic surveying, cadastral surveying, construction surveying, and hydrographic surveying. Geodetic surveying deals with large areas and high accuracy measurements for mapping the Earth's surface. Topographic surveying focuses on determining the natural and man-made features of a specific area. Cadastral surveying involves demarcating property boundaries. Construction surveying is done to guide the construction of infrastructure and buildings, while hydrographic surveying is used to map underwater features.
General classifications of surveying include geodetic surveying, plane surveying, topographic surveying, cadastral surveying, construction surveying, and hydrographic surveying. Geodetic surveying deals with large-scale measurements of the earth's surface, while plane surveying focuses on small-scale measurements on a flat surface. Topographic surveying involves mapping of the land's natural features, cadastral surveying deals with land parcel boundaries, construction surveying is used for building projects, and hydrographic surveying is for mapping bodies of water and their features.

Surveying can be classified into two main categories: plane surveying and geodetic surveying. Plane surveying deals with small areas on the Earth's surface where the curvature of the Earth can be neglected. Geodetic surveying involves measuring large areas and taking into account the curvature of the Earth.
geomatics differ with surveying in that it encompasses a broad range of disciplines than surveying,let alone surveying is a discipline under geomatics
Land surveying is mapping out land for land development. Hydrographic surveying is mapping bodies of water. Engineering is a type of surveying that has to do with buildings roads and other man made things.
This is for surveying: He was surveying the house, thinking about if he should buy it or not. =)
