• Compass survey is a method of surveying by taking bearings and linear distances to produce plan.
• Bearing is measured using prismatic compass, while the linear distance is measured using measuring tape.
• Bearing in compass surveying means angle is made by chain line or survey line by referring it to magnetic meridian or magnetic north.

The Hand Level is a small, economical level for use with preliminary surveys to determine traveller way or cable way steel work elevations and other feasibility type site reconnaissance work.
The Abney Level is very similar to a clinometer in that it is used to measure the value of a slope by means of arc measure and grade percentage.
Specification of Abney Level
• Used to determine slope angle, tree heights etc
• Graduated 0-+/-90 degrees, 0-+/-100% on a stationary arc
• Vernier reads to 10
• Scale pointer incorporates friction thumb lock
• Includes carry case
We offer Brunton Compass (Geological Compass) which is available in a leather or wooden case.
This compass differs from modern compasses, as it utilizes magnetic induction damping rather than fluid to dampen needle oscillation.
It is widely used by geologists and surveyors to make accurate degree and angle.
