SECTION 2 
NON- TOPOGRAPHIC OPERATIONS 
  
UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN, Department of Geography 
A photogrammetric method using a Wild P32 camera carried on a Simon 
hydraulic platform truck and stereoplotting by Kern PG2 L was adopted for a 
site plan with 50 mm contours for an archaeological dig in Aberdeen, because 
of the short time available. 
B KS SURVEYS LIMITED 
A number of architectural surveys have been undertaken using terrestrial 
photogrammetric methods to produce elevations of existing buildings of interest 
to architects or planners. More than 16 000m? of building fagade have been 
recorded in this way at scales of 1:25, 1:50 and 1:100. Terrestrial photo- 
grammetry has also been used to solve specific measurement problems in 
civil and marine engineering. The company has continued to use aerial 
photogrammetry for stockpile inventories. 
UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL, Department of Civil Engineering 
Water surface heights in an estuary model have been measured using Wild 
cameras and a Cartographic Engineering CPl plotter. Measurement of 
displacements and strains in two dimensional soil mechanics have used a 
converted air survey camera and the Zeiss (Jena) Stecometer. The precision 
co-ordinate determination facility of the Stecometer was also used on single 
photographs for measurement of particle tracks in nuclear physics. In the 
medical field deformation of the human spine has also been studied with the 
aid of photogrammetry. Computer programs for analytical photogrammetry 
have been developed. 
BRITISH PETROLEUM COMPANY LIMITED 
Verification of sonar transducer positions on the lower structural members 
relative to the rotary table of drilling rig Sea Quest was performed by 
City University using their terrestrial camera in vertical and low oblique 
modes. 
BRITISH SHIP RESEARCH ASSOCIATION 
Photogrammetric surveys were carried out on both sections of two very large 
tankers built in halves, to determine co-ordinates of all junctions of longitud- 
inals with shell and bulkheads. This allowed for possible adjustment of the 
second section to match the first section before join-up afloat. The camera 
was a Zeiss (Jena) UMK 10/1318; Wild plotting and co-ordinate recording 
equipment was used (111, 112).
