Abstract
This project involves the Detailing of Junior Staff Quarters, University of Benin using GNSS receiver. Detail surveys are surveys made to determine the locations of natural and man-made (cultural) features on the Earth’s surface. Once these features are located, they can be represented on maps and survey plans. The project site is the Junior Staff Quarters section of the University of Benin Ugbowo campus, located within three Local Government reas i.e. Egor, Ovia north-east and Ikpoba-okha local government area, Benin City Edo state, Nigeria. The project area is
geographically located in Egor local government area within longitude 5°37'10.89"E and latitude 6°23'44.66"N and longitude 5°37'13.75"E, and latitude 6°23'38.10"N.
The GNSS equipment, specifically the Tersus David, played a pivotal role in accurately surveying both natural and man-made features within the project area. The total area covered encompassed 4.47 hectares, while the perimeter measured 1,009.89 meters. Subsequently, the perimeter and detailed plans were meticulously crafted using AutoCAD software, employing a scale of 1:1500, and presented on standard A3 paper. This meticulous approach ensured precision and clarity in the
project's documentation and representation.
This research project is aimed at developing a survey plan for the study area. The primary objective is to facilitate seamless navigation within the study area for students, staff, and visitors, with a particular focus on supporting property and infrastructure development initiatives.
