The measurement of three-dimensional movements by geodetic techniques involves the determination of spatial co-ordinates by the observation of horizontal theodolite angles and EDM distances, with either vertical angles or spirit levelling providing the height control. For correct interpretation of the results it is essential that estimates of the accuracy of the position determinations are also provided.
