Setting-out Survey
Have you ever seen a construction site lie seemingly unchanged for weeks while workers swarm all over and no building seems to be taking place and yet everyone onsite looks busier than ever?! This is the process of Setting out Survey services happening in a site once the architects have finalized the plans and data from a topographic survey has been collected.
Setting out survey is done competently by KONGUNADU SURVEYOR at Coimbatore by the practice of physically transferring the position of buildings, roads, drainages, and all engineering design onto the actual ground or site by clearly defining the outline of the excavation and the line of the walls so that the workers can follow it during construction.
What is the need for Setting out survey
Large-scale projects and high-rise buildings require multiple setting out survey services to ensure continuity as the project progresses. We, at KONGUNADU SURVEYOR, understand that the main reason for setting out surveys is to ensure that the construction remains within the strict legal boundaryincluding extensions on existing buildings, any building from a small dwelling to a retail park or a high rise, and roads, bridges, and tunnels, so that there will be no legal disputes later regarding property boundaries and rights to access.
What we do
At KONGUNADU SURVEYOR, our setting out survey service engineers in Coimbatore are responsible for planning and organizing the work starting from surveying and leveling the site, overseeing quality control, keeping a site journal, running update meetings, resolving technical issues, and being an intermediary between architects and the construction team.
What equipment is used for Setting out survey
The telltale sign of our Setting out survey services company is the presence of a total station with a modern electronic transit theodolite mounted on a tripod and fitted with an EDM (electric distance meter).
A measuring tape is used in smaller construction whereas In all other projects, our setting out surveyor out uses nylon strings to demarcate distances and boundaries which is strung between pegs hammered into the ground at pivotal points and leveled using a spirit level. To mark out foundation, and other excavation points, our setting out surveyor uses white lime powder which is insoluble in water and therefore will not wash away even in bad weather.
