Site Engineering Services
Site engineering work is undertaken from the simple setting out of a house to larger civil engineering projects.
In its simplest form setting out involves interrogating an Engineers or Architects CAD drawings for a list of coordinates of features to be set out. The total station is setup at known control points on site and these points are then set out as ranges and bearings between the control points.
The use of modern Total Station Theodolites and CAD drafting systems has enabled the development of a setting out system that reduces man-hours rather than spending this time manually calculating information from paper drawings.
A lot of preparation work can be done in the office prior to visiting site. This saves a great deal of site time. Sometimes we are presented with a list of coordinates to be set out but usually we use engineers or architects CAD drawings and produce our own coordinates by creating a local grid.
Setting out can be carried out in many ways depending on the clients needs and tolerances, in the majority of cases a pin, peg, stake, profile boards or line marker are used to represent points and lines of a structure to be constructed.
We offer a setting out service for a variety of projects including roads, sewers, houses, piling projects, pipelines, steel frames, cabling and many others. We use a variety of methods which can be adapted to suit individual clients needs and specification.
As we are Civil Engineers, we can also provide site Civil Engineering services to include all relevant checking and management of civil works, including concrete pre pour checks of formwork, steel reinforcement, concreting and accurate bolt and fixing arrangements to ensure quality and accuracy for each stage of construction.
We cover both long and short term contracts. We can provide for long term where a full time Engineer is required, usually on a day rate contract. Alternatively we can provide for short term where a full time engineer is not required but the necessity of accurate and reliable engineering support is. This would usually be on an hourly rate or a fixed price contract. We can either provide equipment within our rates or alternatively we can supply on a labour only basis.
Therefore if you require site engineers for a small site, or a long term project we can help. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
