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. 

Total Stations (2 sets) 

- Topcon GPT 3005N Pulse Total Station (accuracy: 3 sec angular, 5mm distance) - Topcon GTS 225 Electronic Total Station (accuracy: 5 sec angular, 5mm distance)

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 

Page 10: Atoll Ecosystem Conservation Project - … · ATOLL ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION PROJECT ... The main objective of the work was to produce ... In Goidhoo, pond and mangrove were found.

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

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.
