Advantages of Total Station Surveying
 |
| Advantages and Disadvantages of Total Station Surveying |
- Relatively quick collection of information
- Multiple surveys can be performed at one set-up location.
- Easy to perform distance and horizontal measurements with simultaneous calculation of project coordinates (Northings, Eastings, and Elevations).
- Layout of construction site quickly and efficiently.
- Digital design data from CAD programs can be uploaded to data collector.
- Daily survey information can also be quickly downloaded into CAD which eliminates data manipulation time required using conventional survey techniques
- It supports local languages.
- It shows the graphical view of land and plots.
- No recording and writing errors.
- .It gives more accurate measurements than other conventional surveying instruments.
- Data can be saved and transferred to a PC.
- Faster work, saves time, quick finishing off the job.
- Computerization of old maps.
Disadvantages of Total Station Surveying
- Vertical elevation accuracy not as accurate as using conventional survey level and rod technique.
- Horizontal coordinates are calculated on a rectangular grid system.
- However, the real world should be based on a spheroid and rectangular coordinates must be transformed to geographic coordinates if projects are large scale.
- Examples : highways, large buildings, etc.
- It might be troublesome for the surveyor to investigate and check the work when surveying.
- Working with total station is not so easy, as more skilled surveyors are required to conduct a total station survey.
