Setting Out
Setting-Out Survey Services
Accurate setting-out services for transferring axes, coordinates, elevations, and design elements from approved drawings to the field, supporting construction activities and ensuring the correct positioning of engineering elements.
Translating Design into Field Locations
Accurate surveying reference for construction and execution
Setting-out surveys transfer approved engineering drawings and design data from plans to their actual positions on the ground with the surveying accuracy required by the project. The work includes reviewing drawings and design data, verifying the surveying control network and reference system, and carrying out field setting-out using the appropriate surveying equipment.
Design points, axes, elevations, and engineering elements are established in the field according to approved data, followed by surveying verification and checking to support construction teams and confirm that executed works correspond to the required design locations and elevations.
Scope of Setting-Out Survey Works
