Question: A closed loop traverse has been established that contains five TBMs ( A - E ) . The stations have been labelled in a clockwise

A closed loop traverse has been established that contains five TBMs (A-E). The stations have been labelled in a clockwise rotation; hence the external included angles were measured when establishing the traverse, and TBM A has the coordinates 75m,75m(easting and northing respectively). The theoretical angle check indicated a 20" misclosure and the use of the Bowditch method indicates a linear misclosure of 1 in 13,917. Both of which were deemed acceptable. The Bowditch correction applies a change in easting and northing (E and N, respectively) to the change in easting and northing calculated (????E and ????N, respectively) when manipulating the whole circle angles and horizontal distances to determine the coordinates for each TBM within the traverse to produce corrected changes (Ecorrected and Ncorrected, respectively) such that: Ncorrected=N+-N
