Optimization project of section of railway line. Geodetic surveying of track alignment, earth formation and engineering structures, evaluation of horizontal and vertical alignment. Design of new geometry components, laying out of new track alignment, laying out respective of fixed points. Practical application of diagnostic methods, static and dynamic loading test. Characteristic cross sections, design and estimation of substructure layers. Railway superstructure diagram. Geometry layout of standard turnout, precise levelling of vertical alignment. Geodetic surveying of section of railway station. GPS surveying principles and methods. GPS practice with different apparatus sets. Calculation of bearing capacity of bridge structure. Working out of technical drawings.
Terrain mapping with GPS methods. Levelling of road route with standard optical automatic level instrument. Design of the road reconstruction. Terrain and present situation surveying. Reconstruction plan - horizontal and vertical alignment, width disposition and cross sections. Design of a crossroad and a parking lot on concrete local conditions. Practical geodetic layout of the designed road project, GPS methods usage for road route layout. Practical application of diagnostic methods e.g. static loading plate, drill core, visual inspection and classification according to TP82 - Catalog of flexible pavement malfunctions, unevenness measuring with 4 meter beam, roughness of road surface - evaluating of macrotexture with sand grain.
