FIELD WORK 3: SETTING OUT

INTRODUCTION

Setting out is the surveying process in which the positions and levels of buildings,
roads, drainages, sewers, and all other engineering projects that are already
marked on a plan are transferred to the ground using a variety of methods and
specifically manufactured instruments, or is the process in which information is
taken from construction design drawings and then pegs, profiles, or other marks
are set to control the construction work and to ensure that each element is
constructed.

Setting off is merely the practical implementation of a plan on the ground. Setting
out may be both complicated and simple. For more precise transfer, some
engineers engage the services of land surveyors, particularly on major projects.
Setting out is the process of converting a written plan to the real ground or
building site. A structure is laid out to precisely define the outline of the
excavation and the line of the walls, so that construction may be carried out
exactly as planned. The centre line approach of layout is widely used and
recommended.

 PROCEDURES

Procedures Of Setting Out Building Basement.

Ground marking for building baseline with data dan drawing given.
1. Find some space which is flat ground anywhere inside campus area.
2. You are going to do this task with digital theodolite or total station and
measurement tape. You also provided with ranging pole and arrows.
3. Locate baseline point S1 and then S2 so do S3 According to setting out plan
given to you. Make sure you are using the finest bearing and distance.
4. Along the S1-S2 and S1-S3 baselines, there are several references point that
you have to knock for checking purpose. There are L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5.
5. Make sure all the offset pegs were firmly knock in and the inner angle of S1 should be
90°.
6. Begin to mark the building baseline points start from B1 and finish by B10
according to the point form given. Make sure you knock the peg firmly into its
position and also to the length you measure with measuring tape must be exact
to its direction.
7. When you done with all those pegs, bind your provided construction string

towards your pegs start from offset pegs to another opposite’s pegs. You will
reveal that pegs you knocked inside rest house will be in the lines along with the
string.
8. Record errors and refine your error of there any.

4.2 PROCEDURES LEVEL CHECKING FOR DRAINAGE
1. Determine the drain start and the end point. Put an arrow on to each point.

2. Measure the long section of the drain. Put a mark (peg) every 1@5 meter along a side
of the drain(one side only) and take measure.

3. Setup auto level instrument on the ground near to the marked point. Make sure all
point readingcan be reach with staff.

4. Begin to take staff reading at the invert, ground and peg heights for every chainages (CH).

5. Record and sketch properly all the data collected.

2.600 m - 3.735 m = 0.035 m – 6.130 m = 7.780 m – 13.912 m
- 1.135 m = - 6.095 m = - 6.132 m

MISCLOSURE ALLOWABLE MISCLOSURE = 8.00 m

ANALYSIS DATA
The data that was analysed can be used since it did not exceed
the permissible misclosure of 8.00 m.

DISCUSSION
Issue: Incorrect staff position.
Solved: Meet with the instructor to obtain more specific
guidance and information regarding the right staff situation.

CONCLUSION
The conclusion that can be drawn from the practical work
results data is acceptable since the reading for the intermediate
side is growing, indicating that the gutter is in a steep state.
