In your engineering survey course, your instructor put you in a group to help a transportation engineering Company to design a road that runs a 5°50’ curve to P.C.C and 275 m. long from P.C. of the compound curve. Then a 2°15’ curve runs towards P.T., which is 590 m long. The company asked your team to compute the following for the design of the new road of ‘Glorious Mythic Lane.” Stationing of P.C if the stationing of P.T. is 10 + 897.30 m

Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.
