A construction survey established or
marks the desired position of the building corners, roads, utilities, and
sidewalks designed by an engineer. It receives prime attention to ensure the
building does not overlap or encroach over the designated setbacks, property
lines, or easement.
Different elements surveyed in a
construction survey
1. The existing condition of a future
work site
2. Stakeout limit of work, lot
corners, and location of a construction trailer
3. Verifying location of structures
during construction
4. Giving horizontal control on
various floors
5. Stakeout markers and reference
points that guide the development of new structures
6. Conducting an As-built survey, a
survey that is held at the end of the project to verify whether work authorized
is completed to the specification set on the plan.
Equipment and techniques used in
construction surveying
Surveying equipment like theodolites
and levels measure absolute angular deviation, vertical, horizontal, and slope
distances. Along with computerization, electronic distance measurement, GPS
surveying, Laser scanning, and total stations have supplemented the traditional
optical instruments.
The equipment Builder’s level neither
measures vertical nor horizontal angles. It combines a telescope and spirit
level to allow the user to establish a visual line of sight along a flat plane.
It can transfer elevations from one place to another when used together with a
graduate staff. Another method to transfer height is by using water in a
transparent hose, as the water level in the tube at opposite ends will be the
same as elevation.
To Conclude
Mostly, the results of construction survey in Kelowna are observed in building,
roadway, or other human-made improvements.
