We were taught that the geomatic engineers produce the design for the cut and fill, and the civil engineers now carry out the cut and fill on the site. In fact, we saw the practical aspect of what we were taught in class and got to appreciate what we were taught and what we would be learning. We were shown how the cut and fill is done practically on site, how the levels were taken, the required amount of fill, and how the embankment was done. We were led by a team of engineers and surveyors to the project site, and we saw how the port's construction was going on and some topics that we were taught in engineering survey, such as cut and fill. They are constructing an inland port at Boankra, Ashanti Region, which is still in progress, and their client is the Ghana Shippers' Authority (GSA). We received a very nice welcome, and the residential engineer, James Ofori Boamah, talked to us about the project they are working on. The first site we visited was a construction company called Justmoh Construction Company Limited.

During the field trip, I learned a lot and got to appreciate the program I am studying and the importance of geomatic engineering in the construction industry and other sectors like aviation, land surveying, forestry, and others. We visited three places: two construction sites and an airport. Geomatic engineering students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) embarked on a field trip.
