Setting-out is fundamentally the reverse of surveying, whereby the future position and level of a feature or structure is marked out on the ground to enable accurate construction to take place. Typical applications include highway allignments, building layouts and civil engineering structures.

How we do itWe use high specification instrumentation and experienced surveyors to provide absolute confidence in our service.
In essence, Engineering Surveying is the reverse of Land Surveying. It involves taking an engineer’s design drawing and accurately setting out the positions and levels of the required points of a construction project. An extremely high level of accuracy is required for construction projects and 40Seven use high specification 1″ Total Stations to ensure that all setting out work is carried out as accurately as possible.
Ideally, an accurate Topographical Survey of the site will have been carried out, upon which the design drawings will have been based. All the points to be set out will then have coordinates that relate to an existing network of coordinated stations which are already present on site. This enables the setting out work to be carried out accurately and efficiently with minimum set up time.

It is vitally important to carry out as-built checks and surveys throughout the duration of a construction or civil engineering project to ensure that everything is as it should be before its too late.
Mistakes and errors do unfortunately occur in the real world, but if these aren’t corrected at an early stage then the costs to put them right later down the line or once the the project is completed, can result in extremely expensive and time consuming remediation.
