5. Construction surveying - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_surveying

   Surveying equipment, such as levels and theodolites, are used for accurate measurement of angular deviation, horizontal, vertical and slope distances. With computerisation, electronic distance measurement (EDM) , total stations , GNSS surveying and laser scanning have supplemented (and to a large extent supplanted) the traditional optical ...

6. Level (optical instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(optical_instrument)

   This reduces the need to set the instrument base truly level, as with a dumpy level. Self-levelling instruments are the preferred instrument on building sites, construction, and during surveying due to ease of use and rapid setup time. A digital electronic level is also set level on a tripod and reads a bar-coded staff using electronic laser ...

7. Theodolite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodolite

   The traditional use has been for land surveying, but it is also used extensively for building and infrastructure construction, and some specialized applications such as meteorology and rocket launching. [2] It consists of a moveable telescope mounted so it can rotate around horizontal and vertical axes and provide angular readouts. These ...

   Gauss's Heliotrope (c. 1822) Wurdemann's Heliotrope (1866) Coast Survey, Steinheil, and simple heliotropes c. 1898. The heliotrope is an instrument that uses a mirror to reflect sunlight over great distances to mark the positions of participants in a land survey. The heliotrope was invented in 1821 by the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
