CONSTRUCTION SURVEYING

AND SETTING OUT TASKS

FIELD OF APPLICATION:
Construction surveying is essential for the control
of any kind of construction process, like tunnels,
mines, shafts, bridges, dams, roads, buildings or
other structures. The most basic task is to stake
out points and markers that serve for guiding the
construction of new structures according to the
design. Further tasks are the survey of existing
conditions of the work site including topography
and existing buildings and infrastructure before
construction, the verification of the location and
dimension of structures during their construction
and the as-built survey and documentation after
construction.

In underground construction highly-specialized

surveying methods and equipment are required to
guarantee the surveying performance and accuracy
needed.In this field of application, construction
surveying often includes the setting out of
geometrically highly-complex 3D objects such as
portals, banks, foundations, pile walls, vertical and
inclined shafts, pipe umbrellas, tunnel niches and
cross-cuts, inner shells and frameworks, tunnel
floors, carriageways, tracks, drains, boreholes and
many more.

Tunnel and Underground Construction

Through flexible measuring arrangements (e.g.
free stationing) we take care for an optimal
integration into the construction process and
to achieve best synergies, for example with
3D displacement monitoring. Setting out can
be performed by our experienced staff or, in

special cases, by site staff when operating

our automatic setting out system KRIOS.
During and after construction, we check and
document the project (e.g. by using our tunnel
laser scanner ORTHOS) to assure the quality of
the entire construction.

Surface Construction, Foundation & Earth Work

We offer object-specific setting out and
surveying for earthwork and construction
of engineering projects such as excavations,
embankments, bulkheads, diaphragm walls,
piles, foundations, roads and building site
installations, open cut excavations, cut-

and-cover constructions, slope protections,

disposals, portals, galleries, dams, bridges and
other high-rise buildings.
For earthwork, we survey the surface, generate
elevation models, calculate volumes and
masses and provide a reliable base for billing.

OUR SERVICES
GEODATA offers the full range of construction
surveying services and equipment, and is a specialist
for underground construction survey. We provide
experienced surveyors capable to carry out all kinds
of engineering survey for construction, working in
flexible schedules providing our service on a daily
or weekly basis or as continous operations. We use
state of the art surveying equipment such as robotic
total stations, digital levels and GNSS-sensors and

also produce and offer automatic setting out systems,

targets and marking material. All survey data is
processed by EUPALINOS, our dedicated software
tool for construction surveying. GEODATA offers
construction site survey services for all projects, large
and small, national and international. One of our core
competencies is the execution of total projects, i.e. we
see ourselves as a provider of integrated construction
site surveys and products.
