Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks . ref citebook title Surveying author B. C. Punmia, Ashok Kumar Jain year 2005 publisher Firewall Media isbn 8170088534 ref It is also used in geodesy . Traverse networks involve placing survey stations along a line or path of travel, and then using the previously surveyed points as a base for observing the next point. Traverse networks have many advantages, including Less reconnaissance and organization needed While in other systems, which may require the survey to be performed along a rigid polygon shape, the traverse can change to any shape and thus can accommodate a great deal of different terrains Only a few observations need to be taken at each station, whereas in other survey networks a great deal of angular and linear observations need to be made and considered Traverse networks are free of the strength of figure considerations that happen in triangular systems Scale error does not add up as the traverse is performed. Azimuth swing errors can also be reduced by increasing the distance between stations. The traverse is more accurate than triangulateration ref Chrzanowski and Konecny, 1965 Adler and Schmutter ..., Wilfred 2001 . Engineering Surveying. Butterworth Heinemann.

In open pit mining operations, people and equipment are constantly at the base of a steep, man made slope the highwall or pit wall . Instances where this slope fails resulting in a rock or earthfall can result in loss of life, injuries and damage or destruction of equipment see mining . It has been found that, over the last few hours preceding a slope failure, there is nearly always a small movement, or alteration in the movement pattern in the rock face of that section. The system is intended to monitor mine slopes to detect this movement and generate a warning of impending failure slope stability , so that personnel and equipment may be removed prior to the failure. The radar element provides very accurate, real time, all weather slope movement measurements with sub millimetre detection ability, and is able to provide an alarm if the detected movement reaches a predetermined level, thereby permitting evacuation of the unstable area, and enhancing safety. All radar measurements are fully geo referenced to an accuracy that allows easy integration with standard digital terrain mapping DTM tools. A second function of the Movement and Surveying Radar is to determine the absolute range to the electromagnetic reflective centroid of an area on a body of material or geographical feature. This functionality, combined with the accurately surveyed position of the measurement origin of the Movement and Surveying Radar and the positioning system s angular measurement information, may be used to generate survey data of geographical features such as mine walls and rubble dumps. The survey data collected may be used for applications such as the calculation of material removal volumes. A Movement and Surveying Radar combines simultaneously the execution of slope stability and surveying measurements, which together with high speed external data links makes it a near real time tool for mining safety, planning and productivity improvement.

Tape correction is applied to systematic error systematic or instrument error s or combination of both. Correction due to incorrect tape length Manufacturers of measuring tapes do not usually guarantee the exact length of tapes, and standardization is a process where a standard temperature and tension are determined at which the tape is the exact length. The nominal length of tapes can be affected by physical imperfections, stretching or wear. Constant use of tapes cause wear, tapes can become kinked and may be improperly repaired when breaks occur. The correction due to tape length is given by math C L M L pm Corr times frac M L N L math Where C sub L sub is the corrected length of the line to be measured or laid out M sub L sub is the measured length or length to be laid out N sub L sub is the nominal length of the tape as specified by its mark.

It follows some considerable unrest in the courts about the strictness of the law relating to taking corporate opportunities. Facts Mr Foster and Mr Bryant were directors of their surveying company FBS Ltd and pretty much all their work came from a company called Alliance. Mrs Bryant also worked for the company, until Mr Foster said she was going to be made redundant. Unsurprisingly, this made Mr Bryant unhappy. He resigned. Alliance still wanted both of them to keep working. It said that Mr Bryant should still give his services. Mr Foster argued that Mr Bryant s services should be contracted out through their company still, not a separate one. But he lost the argument. Mr Bryant, fully funded by Alliance, set up a new company. However this was all done a few days before the resignation had actually taken effect. In the light of the preceding events, the company sued Mr Bryant, alleging that he had breached his fiduciary duty during the period between resigning, and his resignation taking contractual effect. FBS Ltd i.e. Mr Foster sued Mr Bryant for breach of his fiduciary duty of loyalty, and the diversion of corporate opportunities to himself. Judgment Upholding the judge, the Court of Appeal found there was no breach of fiduciary duty in this case. Rix LJ delivered the principal judgment, starting with the Canadian Supreme Court case, Canadian Aero Service Ltd v O Malley . Here, defendant directors had resigned so that they could take the benefits for themselves of a project that they had been negotiating on behalf of the company.
