Listening BECOMING A SURVEYOR 1 3.4 Listen to the dialogue and rebuild it following the logical order of the cues. Put the parts of the dialogue (a l) in order (1 12). Dr Andrew Gordons, Professor at Edinburgh University, Department of Civil Engineering, is giving a lecture about surveying. His talk is given to the students of the Technical Secondary School in St Andrews. 12th March DR ANDREW GORDONS Edinburgh University Department of Civil Engineering Types of surveys and their applicability 9.30 a.m. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM The lecture is about to start. The head-teacher is introducing the Lecturer to the students. ACTIVITIES a. Roy: What s the difference between archaeological survey and geological survey? b. Dr Gordons: A surveyor may work in lots of fields, from construction surveying to archaeological surveying, from geological surveying to hydrographic surveying and so on c. Paula: What do you mean by hydrographic survey? d. Paula: Yes, thank you. Good morning, Professor. I d like to know if Surveying is usually included in University Studies. e. Headmaster: Good morning, everybody. I m very glad to have Dr Wallace in our school today. He s a well-known specialist in surveying techniques and his knowledge is required in lots of fields. Which student wants to be the first to ask a question? Ok, Paula, please, ask your question. f. Paula: In what fields can a surveyor find an occupation? g. Headmaster: Ok, over there, the student at the back h. Dr Gordons: Well, it s also called As-Built Survey. This usually entails a complete survey of the site to confirm that the structures, utilities and roadways proposed were built in the proper locations authorized in the Site Plan. In our country, As-builts are usually done 2 or 3 times during the building of a house: once after the foundation has been poured; a second time after the walls are put up; and then on completion of the construction. i. Dr Gordons: A hydrographic survey is a survey conducted with the purpose of mapping the coastline and seabed for navigation or resource management purposes. Products of such surveys are nautical charts. j. Dr Gordons: An archaeological survey is used to accurately assess the relationship of archaeological sites in a landscape or to record finds on an archaeological site. Geological Survey is a generic term for a survey conducted for the purpose of recording the geologically significant features of the area under investigation. In the past, in remote areas, there was often no topographic map available, so the geologist also needed to be a competent surveyor to produce a map of the terrain. k. Dr Gordons: Good morning, everybody. First I wish to thank you for inviting me here. Well, to answer your question, sure. All Degrees and Diploma in Engineering worldwide have detailed items of Surveying in the curriculum for courses in the discipline of Civil Engineering. l. Roy: I m interested in construction surveying. Could you explain it in details, please? 2 Rewrite the dialogue in your exercise book following the logical order of the cues. 102 Module 3 SCAFFOLDING
