Setting-Out Surveys

Overview

Production of setting-out survey data to accurately transfer design coordinates and plans from drawings to the field for construction projects.

Details & Methodology

We set out almost anything- buildings, piles, roads etc. We always use the appropriate instrument for maximum accuracy and efficiency. Normally, maps and plans are prepared to show existing features butsetting out involves fixing on the ground details shown on maps and plans. We provide setting-out survey services to accurately transfer design plans and coordinates from drawings to the field. Our services ensure that construction, infrastructure, and engineering projects are executed precisely according to approved designs. Setting-out surveys are critical for maintaining alignment, dimensions, and levels on-site, reducing errors and ensuring that projects are built as intended. Service Scope Our setting-out survey services include: Construction layout and building alignment Road, bridge, and infrastructure setting-out Elevation and level control for site works Positioning of utilities, drainage, and structural elements Verification of design coordinates on-site Methodology We conduct setting-out surveys using GNSS receivers, total stations, robotic total stations, and laser levels. Survey data is carefully transferred from design drawings to the field, with continuous verification to ensure accuracy throughout the construction process.
