SURVEY facilities with latest technologies by using GPS Technology are best processed
in HEADS Site
The instrument GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on Satellite technology.
If the Survey is done in Surveyors TM Coordinates the data and Survey base Plan
may be created in TM Coordinates, which are not applicable universally by any user,
for example Contractor. So the Drawing & Data available in TM Coordinates are to
be converted to UTM (Universal Transverse Marcator) Coordinates. Both the conversions
(Drawing & Data) are possible in HEADS range of products to make KML / KMZ files
which may be superimposed on Google Satellite images (Version 2010) to view the
existing Land use and Merits/Demerits of each alignment options.
It is simple in HEADS Site to transform the Surveyors coordinates into Global UTM
/ GPS Coordinates using in-built CAD engine, next the transformed drawing may be
opened for conversion to KML/KMZ file to open in Google Earth to plan for Site Layout,
Green Field alignments, Bypasses and Realignments as larger area with existing Land
use are visible. Even the Original Ground Elevations along with Easting & Northing
Coordinates are available from the satellite images without doing the topographic
survey at the field.
Digital Terrain Model, Triangulation & Contouring
The area may be identified by site reconnaissance survey and using Topographic maps
and satellite imageries. Elevation data may be downloaded from SRTM (Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission) and contours have been generated for the entire area under the
study. This enables the users to produce Plan, Profile, Cross Section Drawings and
BoQ of the design work without carrying out Topographical Survey at field.
Survey work with advanced instruments & Techniques are best processed in HEADS Site
It processes Survey data available from Total Station, Auto Level, GPS, Compass
Survey and develops Ground Model, Digital Terrain Model (DTM) by Delauny Triangulation,
Ground Contours, Ground Sections at user given primary & secondary intervals, 3D
Surface with rendering, Ground Long and Cross Sections, Digital Mapping. The Digital
mapping facility enables the users to prepare Survey base Plan drawings over Google
Pictures using the CAD engine of HEADS Site.
The Survey reference pillars can be installed by obtaining Traverse coordinates
with closing error correction by Bowditch, Transit & Close Link methods, EDM Survey,
Coordinate Transformation from WGS84 to Lambert Conformal Conic Projection (Long
Lat to East North) and the reverse with Spheroid Everest 1956.
For any Site preparation by Levelling & Grading, the existing ground is compared
with the Proposed Levelled Ground and the Earthwork is estimated in terms of Cut
& Fill.
The Triangulation is done with best possible accuracy, using spatial data, developing
DTM, drawing Contour Topography, Digital Maps and establishing Area / Zone wise
reference points to facilitate various construction activities in the future
Site Development with Planning, Levelling, Grading and Earthwork estimation
For any site development project for Township, Industrial Plants, Airports, Mines
the Levelling Grading is the next job for preparing construction platforms at various
elevations and maintaining desired slopes in 3 Dimensional perspectives. The estimation
of Earthwork in Cut & Fill is computed accurately by software HEADS Site in well
formatted Tabular format following Stations defined along the reference Line. Along
with the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) it generates Contours, Elevations on Grids,
3D Surface etc. and all as CAD Drawings. The built-in CAD engine is highly powerful
with complete drafting and editing facilities. The drawings are compatible to AutoCAD
and all other popular CAD softwares.

considered as most advanced facility by the use of latest technology.
SURVEY BASE PLAN or GROUND MODEL is prepared from the Ground Survey Text
data and by selecting drawing feature symbols from CAD Block library, the various
texts obtained from the surveyors are also placed correctly in the Base Plan drawing.
The drawing is made in CAD layered system and is compatible to AutoCAD and other
popular CAD softwares for any further editing/drafting. Contours and DTM, with Ground
sections are also produced as Reports and CAD drawings for Plan & Profile, Cross
sections. This saves the time significantly in preparation for the Detail Engineering
Projects.
