We use a combination of technical expertise and the latest survey equipment technology to deliver highly accurate results that minimize errors and delays.
Our Setting-Out Process
Initial Site Checks and Control Establishment
Before any setting-out begins, our team conducts checks on any existing Control Stations. If none exist, a new network on control stations is established to either a Local or Georeferenced Grid, as appropriate. These control points are essential for maintaining consistency and accuracy throughout the project lifecycle.
Design Data Analysis
We meticulously review Architectural and Engineering plans, CAD files, and BIM models to extract key coordinates and dimensional data required for setting-out. Any discrepancies or queries are raised with the Design Team early on to avoid costly rework later. Design drawings are orientated to the same grid system as the control stations
Precision Setting-Out
With the reference framework in place, we begin the setting-out process for line and level of foundations, walls, columns, drainage, roads, utilities, and other critical components as required. Our Engineers use advanced instruments to mark positions directly onto the ground or structural elements to a high degree of accuracy. Setting-out records are kept for confirmation and clarification purposes.
Ongoing Verification & Monitoring
Throughout the Construction Phase, we perform regular checks to verify that work is progressing in alignment with the setting-out. We also offer As-built surveys to compare actual positions with design intent, ensuring compliance and aiding in quality control.
