Geodetic engineering surveys are an important part of the works carried out by the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw University of Technology. These works concern measurement techniques as well as advanced result analysis methods applied in precise industrial surveys and in processes controlling object’s behaviour over time.The thematic scope of research realised by Chair of Engineering Geodesy and Control-Measuring Systems shows that article related to geodetic engineering measurements and geodetic monitoring is carried out with high intensity, resulting in technological advancement and implementation of new or improved measurement solutions and methods of measurement result development.

The measuring technologies of engineering surveying have proved over the past decades, they can successfully be applied in several fields of engineering specialities. By now, we may say, the geodetic measurements in industrial metrology have been not only a newer application area but a separate sub-field of engineering surveying. The new metrological problems always require new solutions. Despite the rapidly developing instrumentation in the surveying, there are some problems to be solved using classical measuring methods. There are certain circ*mstances when laser scanners, digital levels and laser distance meters cannot be used, or, the accuracy of them is not sufficient. This can also be said about some mechanical metrological methods. In our paper, we present some special solutions to solve mechanical metrological tasks which have crucial importance in product process. The manufacturer, where these problems arose years ago, is the ALCOA Köfém, Hungary. It is one of the largest h...

The very accurate measuring of three-dimensional models of complex surfaces and objects in general (and their creation, as well), are subjects of the three-dimensional Metrology (3D-Metrology). In order 3D-Metrology to connect effectively the physical world with the virtual world (and vice versa), there is a need of measurements, methodologies of measurements and calculations. In this area, the contribution of the science of Geodesy, a science of spatial measurements, is of paramount importance. In this paper, a review and analysis of both, methods (or principles) and measuring instruments are carried out. These methods and instruments, although they belong to Geodesy (specifically in a branch of it, also known as: Geodetic Metrology, Technical Geodesy or Industrial Geodesy), they also form fundamental milestones of 3D-Metrology.

Investigation of Stability of Precise Geodetic Instruments Used in Deformation Monitoring

Monitoring systems using automated electronic total stations are an important element of safety control of many engineering objects. In order to ensure the appropriate credibility of acquired data, it is necessary that instruments (total stations in most of the cases) used for measurements meet requirements of measurement accuracy, as well as the stability of instrument axis system geometry. With regards to the above, it is expedient to conduct quality control of data acquired using electronic total stations in the context of performed measurement procedures. This paper presents results of research conducted at the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography at Warsaw University of Technology investigating the stability of “basic” error values (collimation, zero location for V circle, inclination), for two types of automatic total stations: TDA 5005 and TCRP 1201+. Research provided also information concerning the influence of temperature changes upon the stability of investigated instrument...

INTRODUCTION Geotechnical instrumentation is a fundamental component of surface and underground mining engineering. Its use extends from prefeasibility studies to mine closure. Its purpose is multifold, serving both investigative and monitoring functions that are in part a necessity to ensure the economic feasibility of the mine operations and in part due diligence to ensure safe operations. Investigative functions include

Engineering Geodesy - Definition and Core Competencies

This article summarises discussions concerning the definition of "engineering geodesy" within the German Geodetic Commission. It is noted that engineering geodesy by means of its tasks, methods and characteristics is an application-oriented science whose research questions often arise from observed phenomena or from unsolved practical problems. In particular it is characterised by the professional handling of geometry-related problems in a cost-effective manner that includes comprehensive quality assessment at all phases of the problem solution - from planning through measurement to data processing and interpretation. The current methodical developments are primarily characterised by the increasing integration of the measurement and analysis into challenging construction, production and monitoring processes as well as by the transition to spatially continuous methods. A modern definition of engineering geodesy is proposed at the end of this article.
