Not enough stations for a resection – can I create another one like this?
Hi guy
I traversed a construction site a while back put in stations on the perimeter that I’d use later for resection. I always use 3 stations to resect.
Now that construction is underway I’ve got one small piece of setting out to do in a corner of the site where I can only see 2 of my traversed stations. So what do I do? In the past I’ve banged extra nails in the ground and then re-done the traverse.
But I’m wondering if there is an alternative solution for the odd scenario like this when I need an extra station to perform my resection.
Can I set over one station traversed station, backsight another traversed station, shoot in a station on a tripod (F1 and F2), and then use that station as part of my resection?
Clearly it won’t be as good as traversing the extra station in but if I use a long backsight and it’s not too far from the set on station when I shoot it might be okay.
When I perform the resection the onboard software delta results will act as a check that the extra station was shot okay.
Kind regards, Andrew
