basic survey calculations

(OP)
i have been working in land surveying for four years and have struggled to learn about boundary, topographic and construction calculations. my coworkers are not willing to share in their knowledge. can anyone recommend a modern book to get me started?

RE: basic survey calculations

Try searching for Kavanaugh's "Surveying with Construction Applications" on Amazon. It's what we were assigned in college for an introductory course.

If your coworkers won't help, it's time to find a new firm that's willing to help you out.

I take it from your handle that you may be female. If you are working in an enlightened jurisdiction, it may be possible to bring an employment standards case can be brought against your employer if you feel that you are being discriminated against.

Good Luck

Jeff

RE: basic survey calculations

Also check your engineering schools for night classes in surveying. You might get the comapny to pay for the class or you may be able to argue for a modest raise after completion. Night classes are ussually attended by those already working in the field. May find a better company, too.
