Construction Survey Services

A Construction survey is a crucial to planning and developing large civil projects such as highways, bridges, and overpasses. An Edmonton land surveyor plays a fundamental role in any major road and bridge construction project from initial planning to completion, from understanding the land layout and providing topographic surveys to analyzing the placement of road or bridge construction or even stockpiling.

Slope Staking

The Construction surveyor stakes a slope from a feature, such as a ditch, swale, or curb, at a specifically designed slope for various types of construction. You can find slopes from curbs or sidewalks that are very flat, or they can be very steep, like those from ditches that are 2:1 (horizontal: vertical). Using the slope intercept point (catch/hinge point), land surveyors stake the position of the cut or fill to the feature where that slope intersects the terrain.

With our team of experienced and advanced construction surveyors, you will be able to get an accurate offset of the lip of gutter for roadways, the back of curbs, sidewalks, or other flatwork on large or small commercial sites.

Trimble machine control systems for dozers, graders or excavators are capable of understanding the design of calibrated models of large surfaces. With this format, operators can achieve tight tolerances that otherwise would be difficult or time-consuming. As a result, a client saves additional expenses and time on their projects.

The term “foundation layout” refers to any deep or shallow footings that need to be staked during a construction survey. A reinforced concrete/steel structure is defined as one that requires excavation or driving, but does not limit to slabs, piers, abutments, grade beams, footings, walls, or other types of structures.

Building layouts or sites are organized and measured using control lines based on critical features such as wall lines or control lines for equipment being constructed or installed. There are a variety of architectural and structural drawings that contain lettered and numbered gridlines.

With our experience in finding cast-in-place piles and battered driven steel piles, we can provide the necessary layout to assist with auguring or driving.

Reinforced concrete structures typically require tight tolerances and cast-in-place bolts must be installed with precision and diligence, and the proper methodology must be followed.

From pilings to MSE walls, abutments to bearings, girders, and bearing bearings, bridges have several features to be surveyed. During the design and construction of bridges, precast deck structures and steel frame surveys are both important factors to consider.

Having reliable markers becomes increasingly important as legacy networks such as Alberta Survey Control Monuments (ASCM) degrade over time. If you run into a roadblock on your way to building, consider the challenges you may face. Can your field surveyor or engineer provide any layout or information about your structure if there is no control for your site? Are you going to keep going? Are you stopping to reassess? Did you install a precision control network with permanent markers before major constructions began? It is essential to establish, reference, and document site-specific networks, and many jurisdictions require this when building engineering facilities or infrastructure.
