Description
Summary:The survey work for determining the mass haul that needs to be performed to a site is done by using Real Time Kinematic GPS (RTK GPS), instead of total stations. This is due to the features of RTK GPS that require less manpower and does not need mutual visibility between the rover and the base of the GPS devices. However, there are conditions that have to be met in order to perform the survey using RTK GPS such as clear skies and the site that is clear from static and dynamic obstructions. From the data of the survey, Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is produced that highlighted the topography level of the site in three dimensional views. Based on the model, the mass haul that is needed to be performed to the site is analyzed, providing the site will be proceeded to be developed. The three dimensional data will ease up the analyzing process of the mass haul and reduce the probability of the error that may be done during the analysis. Developer needs the analysis that is as precise as possible, as errors done during the analysis may cost more money and unnecessary expenditure for them.
