Abstract
The layout or stake-out is one of the most important assignments of the surveying engineer, and it is of vital importance in the building process, as the designed geometries of the structure ensure the verticality and the correct positioning inside the terrain. The mission of the surveying engineer involves both legal and technical aspects, and the correct planning of the layout process must take into consideration aspects regarding the site conditions, instrumentation used, the required and achievable accuracies, network design and survey methods used. Given the vast applications of geodesy and topography in different domains and industries, the study incorporates general notions and technical aspects regarding the workflow in cadastre and construction surveying, guidelines for an efficient design of site layout plan with on-site applicability, as well as a novel comparison between four methods of construction lines geometry layout on batter boards. The results of this study aim to further consolidate the importance of accurate and efficient construction layout projects, with comprehensive design plans, methods and instrumentation selection, as well as recommendations. The presented discussions and conclusions are of interest to the geodetic community as well as the construction industry, and due to the pragmatic and experimental nature of the research, incorporates technical notes and original results of professional and academic importance.
Highlights
The efficient layout planning of a construction site is a fundamental task for any project undertaking, and the survey engineer’s responsibility to guide the builders and conduct accurate, safe, time- and cost-efficient layout of the designed structure [1,2,3]
This research attempts to give answers to the following notions: the surveyor engineer’s workflow and each legal and technical stage involved in a construction project, the design of a comprehensive site layout plan with on-site applicability and a comparison between four methods of construction lines layout on batter boards
Because some bebe considered old-fashioned with lowlow efficiency, the precision and someofofthe themethods methodscan can considered old-fashioned with efficiency, the precision time were compared regarding the stake-out of four construction lines, respectively and time were compared regarding the stake-out of four construction lines, respeceight on batter
Summary
The efficient layout planning of a construction site is a fundamental task for any project undertaking, and the survey engineer’s responsibility to guide the builders and conduct accurate, safe, time- and cost-efficient layout of the designed structure [1,2,3]. It is critical for a surveyor to take the time and care, both in the field and when processing data, to avoid or minimize errors and conduct precise and efficient surveys, layout or monitoring projects [5,6]. These applications and tasks integrate the highly sophisticated graphical capabilities of computer-aided design (CAD) platforms, with the geodetic instrumentations used in the field for observations and data collection. There are numerous instrumentations and technologies used in the industry, such as: total stations, optical and digital levels, GNSS
