SURVEYING
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Construction surveys provide the horizontal and vertical layout
for every key component of a construction project. This
provision of line and grade can only be accomplished by
experienced surveyors familiar with both the related project
design and the appropriate construction techniques.
A knowledge of related design is essential to interpret the
design drawings effectively for layout purposes, and a
knowledge of construction techniques is required to ensure
that the lay out is optimal for both line and grade transfer and
construction schedule.
On any construction site, it is general practice to construct
firstly the roadways and sewers, in order to provide a) access
to the site and b) main drainage to all buildings.

It provides the alignment, grades, and locations which guide

Keep centerline established 1,500 feet or 450 meters ahead of
clearing and grubbing.
Keep rough grade established and slope stakes set 1,000
feet or 300 meters ahead of stripping and rough grading.
Set stakes to exact grade, 500 feet or 150 meters ahead of
finish grading and surfacing.
