About the Book
An Introduction to Engineering Surveying is designed for Civil Engineering and Geomatics (Land Surveying) students pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or National Diploma. The book provides a comprehensive foundation in spatial measurement techniques that support civil engineering planning and infrastructure development.
It covers essential surveying methods including levelling, traversing, satellite surveying, preparation of topographic maps, and setting out for roads, construction platforms, and reservoirs. The material is presented in a logical progression—beginning with fundamental theoretical concepts and gradually advancing toward practical workplace applications.
Special emphasis is placed on coordinate systems and survey datums. The text explains map coordinate conventions used in southern African survey systems and introduces the international UTM coordinate system along with geographical coordinates. It also discusses the Cape, Hart94, and ITRF survey datums, as well as modern control systems supported by Virtual Reference Stations (VRS).
Additionally, cadastral surveying methods commonly used in South Africa and most SADC countries are described. Each technique is clearly illustrated and supported by practical, real-life worked examples to strengthen conceptual clarity and technical competence.
This book serves as a valuable academic guide and practical reference for students and professionals in civil engineering, geomatics, and land surveying disciplines.
