BSV521S
Question 1
1.1. Write short notes to explain the following terms:
1.1.1. Intersection.
(3)
1.1.2. Systematic Errors.
(2)
1.1.3. Engineering Surveys.
(2)
1.1.4. Reverse Polar.
(2)
1.2. How wide is one belt in the Namibian coordinate system, based on the central meridian?
(2)
1.3. Why should intermediate sights onto important points be avoided during levelling?
(2)
1.4. Name the THREEbasic methods of determining a distance.
(3)
1.5. Explain the term Reconnaissance in terms of a traverse.
(4)
[20]
Question 2
2.1. Points A, B, C and D were placed around a dam for the survey of a proposed water right. As neither
A to C, nor B to D was intervisible, the distances AB, BC,CDand DA, and the angles at A, B, C and D
were measured. Unfortunately, it was discovered that only the recorded value of angle C was
correct. From the information given in the sketch below, calculate the values of angles A, Band D.
Please perform all possible checks.

2.2. Use the levelling observations given in Data Sheet 1 to fill up the missing readings (>K)and apply
the usual checks on the final heights of all the points. All checks need to be shown and any
misclosure needs to be distributed. Please detach the data sheet and submit it with your
examination book.
(10)
[20)
Question 3
3.1. Calculate the final coordinates for the traverse points on Data Sheet 2. Use the said data sheet for
all your calculations. Use the Bowditch Rule to adjust the traverse. Please note that the directions
are oriented, and the distances are final horizontal distances. Please detach the data sheet and
submit it with your examination book.
(10)
3.2. Calculate oriented directions for the traverse by completing the direction sheet on Data Sheet 3.
Use the said data sheet for all your calculations. Please detach the data sheet and submit it with
your examination book.
(10)
[20)
Question 4
Use the information and observations below to calculate the coordinates for the point RESEC,by using
the Q-point method for a resection calculation.

Please note:
• The Prism Constant, the Atmospheric Correction, the Conversion to German Legal Metre and
the Combined Sea level & Scale Enlargement Scale Factor correction are already applied to
all measured distances.
• The directions are FINALOBSERVEDDIRECTIONS.
