Setting Out Surveys In Modern Building

By Jesse Gaynor


Before work begins on any piece of ground a setting out survey needs to be cried out to determine the viability of the land. With the right equipment and knowledge, the job can then be carried out by experts. These can either be contracted or in house. It depends on the type of activity you are involved in.

When a property has been fore planned, it differs from haphazardly constructed places due to increased efficiency. A good company offering the service should be reliable and provide accurate data. The results from their study ensure the final job is well done.

This hitch is being taken care of by use of modern equipment. The geocompass being a good sample. During times when experts only had tape measures and worse, chains mistakes were inevitable. With advanced equipment the results are no doubt more accurate and even faster. Another advantage is that these equipment eliminate the need for too many stuff thus labour efficient.

Schools teach new as well as practicing surveyors. The first batch learns the theory of the activity as well as technical skill to be used in the field. For engineers and other personnel they get further brush up of the application of new methods.

In appreciation of modern technology, the use of software to increase speed has made the working flexible and precise. The equipment used has evolved to get as relevant as possible to the job. In the early days, chains and measuring tapes were used but in modern times we have such things as the geo compass which is easy to carry a round and quite easy to use anywhere. These methods are used worldwide in various projects.

Apart from on land, this too can be done even on body waters such as rivers lakes and the sea. Another way this activity plays an important role is determining ownership. It does this by showing where the proper boundaries fall by use of former title deeds and maps. The basic principal is being able to transfer the three dimensional concept from model to the land in question, thus the emphasis on accuracy.

Even after the construction ends, it is important to go back and do an after construction check. A company should be able to provide post construction setting out survey. This ensures that the project went on according to plan.
