Baa Atoll Land Survey Report 3
Prepared by: Water Solutions
1 Introduction
The Ministry of Environment, Energy and Water (MEEW) with consultation from Ministry of
Housing and Urban Development declared to survey all inhabitant islands of Baa Atoll to obtain base
maps of the islands which is required for land use planning as well as for the Atoll Ecosystem
Conservation project (AEC). The AEC project is been executed by MEEW. The task of surveying all
inhabitant islands of Baa Atoll was assigned to Water Solutions Private Limited (WS) after the
bidding process. All though, the initial number of islands that were required to survey in the project
was eleven, WS decided to included the two remaining islands, Fulhadhoo and Fehendhoo as a
complimentary work for MEEW. In addition, reef extents of all islands were surveyed whereas on
Eydhafushi, Dharavandhoo and Eydhafushi were only required. This report is aimed to give a brief
outlook on the work undertaken. A detail explanation of the methodology employed in the work and
the obstacles faced are also stated in the report. The accuracy achieved in the survey is analysed and
its conformity with the requirements of the TOR is given.
2 Aims and objectives
The work was planned such that requirements of the TOR are met eventually. Redundant field data
were collected to maximise the accuracy of the survey. The main objective of the work was to produce
detail survey maps at a higher accuracy that satisfy the requirements of a standard base map.
3 Project deliverables
As stated in the Terms of Reference (TOR), the following items have to be submitted at the end of the
project.
‐ Electronic and hard copy of the survey report
‐ Soft copy of the survey maps in WGS84 (UTM Zone 43, North) mapping reference system, satisfying
the terms stated in the TOR.
4 Methodology
The methods used in the work are in compliance with best survey practise as accepted
internationally. Method of survey is selected to give the maximum possible accuracy and that
minimises errors from instrument and avoids human errors.

4 . 1 S u r v e y t e a m
The survey team consists of well‐experienced personal.
• Hussein Nawaaz, BSc (Hons) Surveying and mapping sciences, UK. Nawaaz has 9 years
experience in surveying and mapping. He is the project leader and coordinator. He was
involved in the surveys of urban area and also the transect levels. Establishment of
permanent survey control marks were also done under his guidance.
• Ahmed Firass Afeef, BSc Land Surveying, New Zealand. Firass has 3 years experience in
surveying. Firass also worked in the urban area survey and obtained transect levels. Firass
also aided in establishing permanent survey control marks.
• Farhath Jameel, GPS expert by experience. Farhath was involved in all GPS work. Farhath
also obtained data for beach profiles.
• Aslam Shakir, a Landuse Planner and an environmental specialist by profession. GPS
observations and beach profiles were also taken by Aslam.
Two teams worked in the urban area survey. For each team, a survey assistant and a helper from
each island was assigned.
4 . 2 E q u i p m e n t
State‐of‐the‐art equipment was utilized through the survey work. Many equipment were invested to
the project so that quality of the survey would not be compromised. The following list are the main
equipments used in the survey.

Other accessories
Other small items, ranging from Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) devices to measuring tapes
were used in the survey. Communication devices and field computers were used for daily processing
of the field data.
4 . 3 L o c a l c o n s u l t a t i o n
Upon arrival at every island the island official, usually Island Chiefs (Katheebs) were consulted and
the most current map of the island obtained. This map was used as a sketch and to identify public
buildings and places, newly allocated residential plots and other places of interest such as agricultural
or industrial areas. The officials were also briefed about the nature of our work and the temporary
difficulty it may cause to the public such as disruption to traffic in narrower streets in some larger
islands. Information about underground cables and pipes was also gathered and the necessary
consent obtained in order to avoid any damage caused while hammering in our temporary survey
marks. Island officials were informed on the location of Permanent Survey Control Marks (PSCMs) on
the island.

4 . 4 . 1 Urban a r e a
The urban area mainly consists of residential blocks, roads, isolated structures such as
telecommunication antennae, beach huts, ‘Hiya’, ‘Holhuashi’, harbour, seawall, coastal structures and
other hard detail found in the mail land. Some significant trees were also found in the urban area.
These areas were mainly surveyed using Total Station. A local traverse in an arbitrary reference
system is run through the area to provide survey control to the areas. The traverse is adjusted for
misclosures and reobserved until the required accuracy for the traverse is obtained. A secondary
traverse and sometimes a tertiary traverse were run to provide survey control points to difficult areas.
Once the traversed points were fixed to the accuracy higher than 0.1m, angle and distance
observations were made to the block corners and other details that are required. For the curved block
corners, tangents were drawn from either side of the block and the meeting point of the tangents were
surveyed. This will give a higher accuracy to the block shape, size and orientation. Offsets and tape
measurements were done for inconvenient places and also to minimise too many instrument set up
points.

Transect levels that are taken to the linear extent of the islands in the many cases were also surveyed
by the two teams. Trignometrical levelling technique applied to obtain the levels.
The urban area was surveyed by two survey teams. For each island, the urban area was divided into
two halves. The above methodology was applied in the surveys by each team, independently. Once
the survey is completed, the surveys are joined by tying common traverse points that were surveyed.
Adjustments and checks were made to make the two surveys meet the accuracy of the TOR.
4 . 4 . 2 Ru r a l and c o a s t a l a r e a
In terms of the survey, rural area of the islands were generally made up of vegetation, large trees and
agricultural land. In Goidhoo, pond and mangrove were found. Historical sites as in Maalhos were
found in the rural area. Many wasteland were among the survey details of the rural area. Survey
details of the coastal area were extents of reef, lagoon, low and high tide, vegetation, erosion and
beach rocks. Structures of coastal defences, seawalls, and beach profiles were also among the coastal
area survey details.
4.4.2.1 GPS Surveying
Differential technique of GPS surveying was method used in mapping the rural and coastal area.
Differential GPS technique yields a higher accuracy than 0.1m. The differential GPS surveying can be
explained by simultaneous observation by two GPS receivers to the same constellation of satellites.
One receiver is stationery which is called the base. Base receiver was set up on an open area, safe from
disturbances until the end of survey. The rover, which is the mobile receiver goes with the surveyor
picking details. After end of survey, post processing is done where the corrections from the base
receiver is applied to data from the rover to obtain higher accuracy data.
4.4.2.2 GPS survey reference system
Trimble Geo XT GPS receiver collects data in WGS84 reference system. The data used in the final
plotting is in UTM Zone 43 North grid system. This is the reference system that was required as said
in the TOR.
The above procedure was used through the survey of GPS surveying of the rural and coastal details.
Base receiver is usually set up near island office so that it can be watched. Any movement or battery
failure could cost the day’s work so lot of care was taken.

4 . 4 . 3 Pe rman e n t Su r v e y Con t r o l Mark s ( P SCM )
The PSCMs served as the means to tie the urban survey to GPS surveys. It once both surveys are tied,
the urban surveys will be in the required mapping frame, i.e. UTM Zone 43 North (WGS84 datum).
For this purpose, and also for the benefit of the parties who would be using the survey maps
produced from this data, PSCM were surveyed at higher accuracy than any other detail. Static GPS
observations were made to these marks minimum of 45 minutes and Total Station observations were
made redundantly.
Care was taken in selecting the location for the PSCM. As permanent survey marks are the only
means of reference of the survey on the ground, its preservation is important. Therefore, PSCMs were
placed on permanent stable structures. Where in the case of absence of such structures, iron rods were
place on the ground with cement reinforcement. PSCMs placed on structures are iron nails (2 inch in
length). The marks are labelled and marked in spray for easy identification. These marks are usually
on seawall of harbours which provide good open space for GPS observations on the mark.
4 . 5 D a t a p r o c e s s i n g a n d p l o t t i n g
Daily processing of field data is carried out in the night. Angle and distance observations from Total
Station observations are processed and used for preliminary plotting. Data from traverse observations
are processed and adjusted for any misclosures. If misclosure is more than acceptable, new
observations were made on the next day to strengthen the traverse points. Likewise, GPS
observations are downloaded each day to check for any errors in the data. GPS data is cleaned and
edited before it is used with data from other surveys. A steady data processing night session is
maintained every night so that before the survey teams leaves the island, a preliminary survey map is
made and accuracy of the survey can be analysed. AutoCAD software is used for plotting. GPS data
downloaded from GPS receivers are exported to AutoCAD and data is cleaned and edited.
5 Obstacles and solutions
There are minor setbacks faced during the survey work, both in the field and back in the office.
Considering the experience from the field, delays were faced due to weather change. Heavy rain took
obstructed work for 4 days in the field. The following issues and their corresponding measures taken
are noteworthy to mention here.
• Residential plots and blocks which have no boundary wall were experienced in almost all
islands. Many plots which were registered had no boundary walls. In addition, many plots
Baa Atoll Land Survey Report 8
Prepared by: Water Solutions
and blocks had dilapidated walls where plot or block corners were not easily identifiable.
This issue was solved by consulting with officials from Island Office. Plot dimensions are
obtained from the Island Office which is used to construct the corners. However, sometimes
officials from Island Office assist the survey teams on site in these kinds of issues.
• Newly assigned plot had no corner stones. These plots were constructed on the map with
dimensions obtained from the Island Office. However, plots that were proposed which does
not have approval from Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MHUD) were not
included in the surveying map.
• In some islands, thick vegetation made extents of cemeteries, football grounds and farm lands
hard to obtain. GPS surveying was made difficult due to overhead canopy. Likewise, Total
Station observations were hindered due to obstruction to the line of sight. With a minor
comprise to accuracy, tape measurements were made both to ends and diagonally. Diagonal
measurements would give orientation.
• Agricultural plots: inconsistency in leasing plots for agriculture in some islands made it near
impossible for us to differentiate between the different plots and their boundaries.
Boundaries of farm lands were observed using GPS.
• Roads through vegetation: the width of roads cleared through thick vegetation was hard to
determine, because the extent of the road varies and, in many such roads, coconut trees had
not been cleared, making it really hard to define the edge. In such roads, centre line of the
road were surveyed. Width of the roads was determined at various place by tape
measurements.
• Internal boundary of non‐residential plots: usually buildings in the plot obstruct any diagonal
and sometimes side measurements from been taken. Without diagonal measurements,
orientation can go erroneous. Measures were taken to get near orientation by small
triangulation technique.
• Permanent Survey Control Marks (PSCM): these marks that were established on the ground
in cement reinforcement were subject to disturbances. Marks in Kudarikilu and Kamadhoo
were disturbed and thrown away. To avoid this problem, consecutive PSCMs were
established on hard surfaces such as seawalls with iron nail. Additional PCMS were
established on seawalls on the islands where PCMS were questionable.
6 Results and evaluation
Quality of survey is always measured by the achieved accuracy. Accuracy of the surveys were easily
analysed by the misclosures from the individual traverses. Additionally, checks made to formerly
Baa Atoll Land Survey Report 9
Prepared by: Water Solutions
observed survey marks can also give relative accuracy of the traverse. In the case of Baa Atoll Survey,
survey teams working in the urban area were able to make cross‐checks on either teams survey, i.e.
traverse points. The misclosure of individual traverses was in the order of 5‐10mm. When the data of
the two survey teams in the urban area were tied, misclosures were found to be in the range of 0.5‐
1.5cm. This clearly shows the accuracy of the surveys in the urban area.
When the data from the GPS were tied with the data from survey teams, which completes the detail
survey map, the misclosure were found to be only 4‐9 cm in disagreement. However, the Permanent
Survey Control Marks (PSCM) that appear on the survey map is the ones observed from Total
Stations which had the accuracy of 0.5‐1.5cm. This suggests that the PSCM will provide very high
accuracy to the urban area of each island. With 4‐9 cm accuracy in GPS data, it will only serve as a
shift, which could be negligible in rural area where there are no hard details.
The above analysis shows that the survey of Baa Atoll was done on a very high order of accuracy.
Accuracy of 4‐9 cm in the survey conforms with the TOR.
7 Presentation
The final detail survey drawings are made in AutoCAD (version 2007). Coordinates in the drawing
are in UTM Zone 43 which is in WGS84 datum. All dimensions in the map are in metres. The drawing
consists of two legends; Landuse Legend and Feature Legend. The Landuse Legend is made to show
the different landuses of the plots. The colour codes and titles were obtained from MHUD guideline
given with the project material. Feature legend would show features such as reef line, vegetation line
etc. Colour codes for these features were taken from the MHUD guidelines.
Two sets of survey maps are attached to this Report. Softcopy set have all the maps in AutoCAD
format as well as in PDF file format. Hard copy prints of the survey maps, only to give a immediate
view of the final product is attached. Set of beach profile data, both hardcopy and softcopy is
attached.
