The problems treated in the books are :
Book 1 considers the fundamentals of Engineering Geodesy – the modern investment process , legal framework , geodetic base ( digital data , plans , maps and reference networks ), instruments , devices and systems ; reference and coordinate systems and surfaces , theoretic bases of geodetic measurement processing , algorithms and software , modern numerical geospatial technologies and their application in Engineering Geodesy and information systems , related to it . The main problems of tracing are presented : essence , elements , methods , technologies , accuracy , norms and case studies ; theoretical bases and practice in the control and determination of displacements and deformation studies of engineering objects , including landslides . Book 2 treats the interdisciplinary problems related to physical planning – spatial schemes , physical and general plans of complexes of objects – industrial enterprises , airports , etc ., together with the role of geodesy and the contribution of surveyors to their realization . The main emphasis is laid on the technology of design and implementation of regulation plans , general ( master ) plans and vertical planning schemes . Moreover , the problems are treated from an interdisciplinary viewpoint , as well as from the position of modern capabilities of : digital design , geospatial technologies , use of global satellite navigation systems , electronic systems for measurement and data processing , tracing and control , geoinformation systems , use of modern digital cadastre , etc .
Books 3 continue further considering the construction of specific types of objects , including also the role , tasks , methods and technologies of Engineering Geodesy in their realization . Due to the large volume of the exposition Book 3 , as already mentioned , is formed in 3 books : 3 ( 3.1 ), 3 ( 3.2 ), 3 ( 3.3 ). Moreover , with information and specific case studies from practice for solving the problems of single objects , which is in our opinion of extreme importance .
Book 3 ( 3.1 ) treats the design , construction , operation and reconstruction of linear objects and the specificity of geodetic works for railway lines , roads , facilities of electric supply , communications , water supply and sewerage , rope lines , as well as tunnels and metro lines .
Book 3 ( 3.2 ) includes the problems related to the design , construction and assembly along other linear objects , e . g . bridges , as well as the geodetic methods and technologies for tracing and control measurements and deformation studies . These problems are also presented for hydrotechnical objects , built independently or in complexes of engineering structures – dams , cascades , etc ., as well as hydromelioration objects , corrections of rivers , floods and droughts , ports and river transport .
Book 3 ( 3.3 ) presents the exploration , design , tracing and control , and deformation studies in the construction , assembly and operation of buildings , industrial facilities and technological equipment , installation of various machines , as well as objects for civil purposes – airports , sport and high-rise facilities , etc . The composition of plans and the modelling of the built objects is presented further on – BIM and the communication cadastre of the complexes of engineering objects and the corresponding information systems , respectively Specialized data ( model ) of underground communications , as well as other engineering aspects of application .
Undoubtedly , such a vast matter cannot be comprehensively presented in all its aspects . In the structuring of the books and the exposition , a balance is sought in representing the main problems and an accent is laid on the aspects that are more directly related to the activity of surveyors in the field of spatial planning and geospatial technologies .
