Activities Performed

• Participated in ‘‘transmission grid planning’’, applying surveying and cartographic principles to infrastructure development.
• Conducted line routing and selection exercises, evaluating terrain and land use for optimal transmission line alignment.
• '’Collected and recorded coordinates’’ using GNSS equipment to support planning and line diversion strategies.
• Assisted with **line diversion assessments by integrating spatial analysis and route optimization techniques.
• Engaged in GIS-based mapping and spatial data management for transmission corridors and project layouts.
• Supported **drawing office tasks including drafting, editing, and refining technical layouts for transmission lines using AutoCAD and GIS software.
• Contributed to the preparation of survey reports*, integrating observations, geospatial data, and recommendations for planning documentation.

Skills Applied

• Georeferencing and symbology in GIS
• AutoCAD drafting and technical alignment
• Thematic layering and map production
• Field coordination using QField and GNSS tools
• Formal report writing and spatial data interpretation

Today’s tasks deepened my understanding of how surveying and cartographic techniques drive transmission infrastructure planning. The integration of GIS with field activities reaffirmed the importance of spatial accuracy in energy distribution networks. I was particularly engaged with the line diversion analysis, which challenged both technical reasoning and spatial decision-making. I continue to learn from my mentors and refine my approach to precision mapping and collaborative survey documentation.
