The student will be able to enter for the Elementery Survey Course the course is aimed at new surveyors and other students who need to be taught the underground survey procedures. Theory 10 shifts Practical 10 Shifts Demonstrate an understanding of the theory and principles of surveying, and in particular mine surveying, with reference, but not limited to definition, objectives, types, methods, scales, maps/plans, units of measure. Demonstrate an understanding of the theory and principles associated with coordinates and co-ordinate systems, with emphasis on the Lo and WGS84 systems. Demonstrate an understanding of the use, principles of operation, adjustments and care of: (a) a level (b) theodolite (c) planimeter Demonstrate an understanding of terms commonly used in surveying. The terms include, but are not limited to: (a) levelling (b) datum (datum plane) (c) reduced level (elevation) (d) benchmark (e) line of sight and line of collimation (f) backsight, intermediate sight, foresight (g) survey peg, survey point (h) grading, gradient, grade peg (i) traverse (j) planes/surfaces and angles (horizontal, vertical, inclined) (k) strike and dip
