Once a topographic survey has been conducted, companies gain precise information about the land where construction will take place. A topographic setting-out is the process of validating the data from the prior survey to initiate the construction process.
Why is setting-out important?
A setting-out ensures that the structure is correctly positioned, avoiding errors that could lead to additional costs and project delays. While there are usually ways to validate information from a topographic survey, setting-out minimizes the risk of any erroneous values persisting.
How do we carry out our setting-out process?
- Preparation: We analyze the technical design and determine the key points to be marked on the site.
- Positioning: Reference points are established using tools like total stations, optical levels, or GPS.
- Marking: Stakes, lines, and other marks are placed to serve as guides for construction teams.
Applications
- Construction of buildings, roads, and bridges.
- Industrial facilities and plants.
- Urban development projects and public utility networks.
