Correct Answer - Option 2 : Tachometry surveying

Concept:

Tacheometric surveying: 

  • Tacheometric is a branch of surveying in which horizontal and vertical distances are determined by taking angular observation with an instrument known as a tachometer.
  • Tacheometric surveying is adopted in rough in rough and difficult terrain where direct leveling and chaining are either not possible or very tedious.
  • Tacheometry is mainly used while preparing contour plans and traversing and is also suitable for hydrographic surveys, location surveys of roads, railways, etc.
  • The main principle of Tacheometry is based on the basic principle of isosceles triangle.

Compass surveying: 

  • Compass surveying is a type of surveying in which the directions of surveying lines are determined with a magnetic compass, and the length of the surveying lines are measured with a tape or chain or laser range finder.
  • The compass is generally used to run a traverse line.

Plane table surveying: 

  • Plane table surveying is a graphical method of survey in which the field observations and plotting are done simultaneously.
  • It is simple and cheaper than Theodolite survey but it is mostly suitable for small scale survey.

Levelling: 

  • Leveling is a branch of surveying in civil engineering to measure levels of different points with respect to a fixed point such as elevation of a building, height of one point from ground etc.
