Nowadays, surveying equipment is so advanced and contains so many automation features that new surveyors can easily get over-reliant on their kit. This can mean losing touch with the basic principles, such as checking kit is performing as it should, doing on site ‘check & adjust’, performing ‘mock’ site layouts is essential to building an understanding of CAD, and making sure that the CAD model is correct before it goes into a controller, even if most of the processes are handled by technology. Manual typing in and setting out is still used on sites, and equipment should also enable trainees to input DXF and set out building corners.
