SURPAC Software for Windows XP/Vista/7 Training Courses and Information |
Training for SURPAC
Surveying Software is available from :-
|
Training
is available for the following SURPAC Modules :- SURPAC
“Lite” (Basic survey calculations such as, polars,
joins, area, line running, intersections, traverses etc. SURPAC
Conversions SURPAC
Least Squares SURPAC
Topographical SURPAC
Engineering SURPAC
U/G Mining SURPAC
Cadastral CAD Training
courses can be arranged in any major centre, or an individual Mine, depending
on the number of trainees registering for a training course. Training
courses can be 2, 3 or 4 days in duration, depending on clients’
requirements. Spatial-IQ
trainees use only qualified and experienced personnel. Below are some of the
feedbacks received in response to recent training courses run by Spatial-IQ. |
The following outlines
the two main training courses offered by Spatial-IQ, namely Cadastral and
Mining :-
Course
Overview
This
three day course covers the latest SURPAC Surveying Software Version 5.36 and
provides the foundation for becoming a successful user of the SURPAC
"Lite", SURPAC Conversions, SURPAC Cadastral CAD programmes. Participants
learn how to use these SURPAC modules and explore how these applications work
together to provide integrated calculation and CAD requirements for
creating, editing and plotting of diagrams, general plans, general plan data
sheets, sectional title plans and working plans. The course covers
fundamental survey calculations, conversions, as well as fundamental cadastral
CAD programmes. The
course also covers more advanced features such as how to compute survey
control networks using the method of Least Squares adjustment for
both planimetric and height networks, how to use SURPAC's built-in
data base to auto-convert co-ordinates from the old Clarke 1880 spheroid to
the WGS84 spheroid, how to import a list of the nearest Town Survey Marks or
Trig. Beacons from the data base and finally, how to use SURPAC's various
built in routines for importing and/or exporting co-ordinates, drawings and
images between SURPAC and Google Earth. Target
Audience
These
combined courses are designed for both new users of SURPAC Software and those
who may have used SURPAC before, but who feel they could make
better use of the software after receiving appropriate training. This
course would be suitable for both executives and technical people, who need
an in-depth appreciation of SURPAC principles, applications and SURPAC
hands-on experience. Course
Objectives
These courses are
designed to provide attendees with both an understanding and a practical
capability of the topics covered in the three days. Attendees will be given
the opportunity of working through examples as well as discussing
the theories and techniques used in the software.

§ This two-day course introduces
students to the latest SURPAC Surveying Software for Windows XP/Vista/7,
Version 5.36 and provides the foundation for becoming a successful SURPAC
user in the SURPAC Lite, SURPAC Conversions, SURPAC least Squares, SURPAC Topographical
and SURPAC Mining Modules. Participants learn how to use
these SURPAC modules and explore how these applications work together to
provide a complete solution for mining surveys. The course covers the fundamental
mining surveying concepts such as Surface and Underground peg fixing for a
new Peg, or Station in planimetry and height as well as how to create and
edit Contours, 3D Digital Terrain Models for Stock piles and volume
calculations between two surfaces, volumes from a given plane, surface areas
and contained areas. It also covers the creation of Cross Sections and Long
Sections. Attendees learn how to create
ASCII files which enables the results of the New Points just calculated to
be easily imported back into the application at any future time, preventing
the time wasting and possible errors of re-entering these data manually. The
ASCII files contain extended information relative to the Peg calculation and
if the User requires an output format different from the one used by SURPAC,
the data from the ASCII Peg File can be easily imported into a User generated application.
