CONSTRUCTION STAKING AND OBSERVATION
Construction is one of the largest industries in the world. Construction / layout surveying, commonly known as construction staking, is the field procedure that places physical markers, or “stakes”, on the property to physically demarcate a feature's location. These markers guide the developer or contractor so that the structure is built according to plan. Markers are typically used for site work, utilities, buildings, clearing lines and permanent surveying points. The stakes are typically offset from the actual physical placement of the work so they can survive during the construction phase. The locations of the stakes are backed up by data so they can be confirmed or reestablished, if necessary. Almost any roadway, building or other built structure involves a certain amount of construction staking.
Construction observation services can range from soil and fill import and export, grading activities, detention and drainage construction observation to foundation and elevation confirmation. With construction staking and observation, other services may be involved, including but not limited to a topographical survey, an as-built survey, the location of existing services or a control survey. Landmark can expertly provide these services, thus assisting the developer or contractor with their payment obligations.
