Setting Out
At AES, our Setting Out Services provide precise alignment and positioning of all critical structures on your construction site, ensuring that each element is perfectly located according to design specifications. Our experienced setting out engineers use advanced surveying equipment and robotic instruments to transfer data from design drawings directly to the site, eliminating potential for errors and ensuring project accuracy from the start. This service is essential for contractors and builders seeking to streamline construction processes and maintain alignment with precise design plans.
Why Choose Our Setting Out Services?
Our setting out services ensure that your construction project is built exactly as designed, minimising errors and enhancing efficiency. By marking precise locations for foundations, walls, utilities, and other essential elements, we support every stage of the construction process, reducing risks and preventing costly rework. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Precision: Our highly skilled engineers use a combination of GPS and robotic survey equipment, as well as industry-standard software, to achieve pinpoint accuracy on-site.
- Elimination of Common Errors: By removing manual calculations and paper drawings, we reduce the potential for mistakes that can compromise project integrity.
- Increased Efficiency: With our data transferred directly from design to site, projects stay on track, helping builders meet deadlines and reduce delays.
Advanced Technology and Expertise for Accurate Results
Our setting out services utilise cutting-edge robotic survey equipment and GPS technology to accurately translate blueprints into physical points on-site. This approach ensures that all design elements—from foundations and pile positions to roads and utilities—are placed exactly where they should be. Using a mix of standard and bespoke software, our team transfers data seamlessly, avoiding manual data entry and eliminating sources of error.
Key Elements and Structures for Setting Out
Our expert setting out engineers are equipped to handle a wide range of project requirements, including:
- Foundations and Pile Positions: Accurately marking foundations, pile caps, and contiguous walls.
- Building Layouts: Ensuring correct placement of building structures to align with architectural designs.
- Road and Highway Markings: Positioning roads, haul roads, and other transport routes accurately.
- Levels and Datums: Establishing correct height levels, datums, and transferring heights as required.
- Drainage Systems: Setting out precise locations for drainage and utility systems.
- Steel Structures and Bolt Positions: Marking bolt holes, holding-down bolts, steel frames, and critical support elements.
- Concrete and Glazing Alignments: Defining concrete shutter lines, slab extents, glazing positions, and mullion/transom lines.
Benefits of Apex Setting Out Services
Our setting out services offer a range of advantages that improve project efficiency and accuracy, minimising the risk of error and maintaining alignment with design specifications:
