Professional standard,now and then

Posted by Lalith Senanayake on July 19, 2013 at 12:40pm in Professional Advice for New Surveyors
23 years back I was the chief surveyor for British company did the A1 road rehabilitations project in Sri Lanka,it was a fine job and everybody appreciated the product new finish,then we had only EDM,After 23years that is the next overlay,I travelled along he same road ,but i noticed the curves doesn't have proper BC,or EC,half way I saw the surveyor,to se he was my assistant during original work,i was very happy ,at the same time I asked why this mishap,His answer was " the controls given to me by GPS are out and the line is given by eye"As he can't explain this to proper authorities just managing,thinks any way vehicles will pass throughAny how even after 23 years layman will say a fine JOB!Are we advancing in our profession!! Or there is no discipline in construction!!!

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
