1. Pre-Construction Phase

Route Surveying:

Conduct detailed

alignment surveys

to determine the most suitable path for roads or pipelines. Perform

reconnaissance surveys

to identify physical, legal, or environmental obstacles along the proposed route.

Topographical Surveys:

Map existing terrain, contours, utilities, drainage features, and structures to inform design.

Land Acquisition Surveys:

Mark property boundaries, easements, and right-of-way (ROW) limits.

2. Construction Phase

Setting Out / Layout Work:

Precisely mark: Road centerlines, edges, shoulders Pipeline alignments (both horizontal and vertical) Culverts, bridges, manholes, valve chambers, etc.

Earthwork & Grading:

Provide levels and benchmarks for

cut and fill operations

. Guide excavation and embankment processes to meet design levels and slopes.

Utility Coordination:

Locate and map existing utilities to prevent damage during excavation. Mark crossings or deviations for pipelines.

Pipeline Specific Tasks:

Stake

bends, joints, valves, tees

, and

crossings

as per engineering drawings. Ensure correct depth and slope for

gravity or pressure pipelines

.

Quality Control:

Conduct as-built surveys to verify construction is as per design. Identify and report any deviations or settlement issues.

3. Post-Construction

As-Built Documentation:

Prepare final as-built drawings showing the actual locations, elevations, and dimensions of installed infrastructure.

Final Topography:

Survey and document the finished terrain and infrastructure.

Handover Records:

Submit survey files (CAD, GIS, coordinate lists) for archiving and future maintenance.

4. Technical & Reporting Duties

Instrument Operation:

Use total stations, RTK GPS/GNSS, drones, auto/digital levels.

Software Use:

Process and analyse data using:

5. Safety & Compliance

Site Safety:

Ensure proper safety practices while working near heavy machinery, roads, or trenches.

Regulatory Compliance:

Adhere to government standards and specifications for roads and pipelines (e.g., slope tolerances, pipe bedding, ROW limits).
