ROAD TO IKOT EBAK VILLAGE, ESSIEN UDIM
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA AKWA IBOM STATE
ABSTRACT
The aim of the project was to produce a plan and profile of the area that leads to Ikot Ebak Village, Essien Udim Local Government Area. Data was acquired with the use of total station and GPS receiver. A ground survey methods was employed. Profile for longitudinal and cross sectional profile was obtained by traversing at 25m interval and 4m to the right and left of the centre line. The total distance was 3.1km. Detailing was also carried out both on the national and artificial features. The plan was produced at a scale of 1:3000 for vertical and 1:3000 for horizontal.
