if there is any sir can we discuss in detail about that sir you can reach me though this email sir ngalajitijulius@gmail. com or of there is any that i can reach you i will be grateful
I must say your videos are very informative, what is the difference between using prism and EDM? I noticed when you are setting up with the EDM you didn't bother using the red light under the instrument to set it up.
Hi! Mostly on sites you will be using retro targets so there should be reflective tape target set on your EDM. In this type of resection you don't need a point - station to set the instrument
Hi Jay Kay! You have to install your own targets (retros) and co-ordinate them (using survey program). You will need base information anyways, these might be UKPN nails around the site, or other points based on which you can do a resection.
Hi, I have a new job, to mark the grid lines on each flor on the tower. How can I transfer the stations from down level to up level 54 levels building? Please I need this info!! I can’t do any resection !!
Hi Ediseu! Is there any chance to use/set some stations on the buildings around? Can you use stations contractor used before? Are there openings in the slab (plummet points) you can use to set your EDM through?
@@SITENG oh yeah, that would be interesting (and apparently very useful) topic if you cover it (maybe you did it later - I don't know yet, I'm watching your videos from beginning). I just know one of the ways engineers are using - poly/plexiglass/acrylic glass with cross target over those openings in the slab ... but definitely would like to see it done and explained in details
As far as you want really :) Once you start doing setting out the doors are open for everything. You will get experience and knowledge and step up. Engineer I worked with lastly was a damper driver who did a course and he's now engineer and he's really good, so everything up to you! I will be organizing some course soon as available courses not really teach you the site reality, but I want to make sure that after my course one can take an exam which gives them 'the paper'
Not via citb yet, just want interested people to actually work with EDM in field. But there is a college where you can do exam only once you can use edm to get your surveying ticket and their course not getting you really ready to site while it's quite expensive.
@@SITENG Hi Greg, any updates on the course? I know with those crazy pandemic times you can't plan anything really :) Just wondering if this is still on your agenda. Thanks
Hi Edwin! In this case height is taken and calculated from targets I use for resection. If I would set up over a point with known height then I would have to add the instrument height to get correct set up level (right instrument level)
@@SITENG Thanks Sir, now I understand that instrument height must be entered when setting up over a point with known height. I am a survey assistant only, we perform dimensional control survey of the structure we fabricate. Our surveyor always set the instrument height at 0.000, what is the impact on the survey result? Shooting point after another point, when he sees that the digital value of the level is around 0.0005 and above, he adjusts it so that it is near to 0.0000. Someone said it is a big mistake.
Hi! I don't really understand adjusting the height? 0.0005 is nothing. You have to speak with him, as I don't know exactly what are you doing guys there. Once your resection is done you shouldn't change anything, maybe he is intentionally cheating a bit on the surveys - which is possible.
@@edwincaneda4030 you cannot re-level your EDM during survey. If the EDM is out of level, you must do another set up, and then continue the survey. How do I know? - I did the same when I was a beginner ;) PS I agree with SITENG - out of level of 0.0005 in nothing to worry about - you would have to ask in your company what is ok and what is not)
On the concrete I just set the legs and push them making sure they won't slide not stamping on the legs at this might only break them in this case. You are right on the loose ground we need more and I am always driving the legs fully in with the tripod wide open, stamping on the legs.(parallel to the leg unlike some ppl do - breaking the legs)
Hi Daniel! Yes it's possible, you have to look for a setting out course somewhere near you. It might be some college as well providing courses. There will be more and more about civil engineering here on siteng channel so you will learn a lot :)
thanks for the productive videos
Glad to hear that! Thank you for the comment 👍👍
this is the perfect channel i have been looking for i hope and see more potentials in your videos as surveys is concern more grace sir
Thanks Julius! Will be more and more coming so I hope you'll enjoy them too :)
@@SITENG definitely sir
@@SITENG sir o wish to find if u have a training program for those instruments
if there is any sir can we discuss in detail about that sir
you can reach me though this email sir ngalajitijulius@gmail. com or of there is any that i can reach you i will be grateful
@@justicejulio5725 I meant to do a course, but have no time at all now, if this changes I'll let you know.
Nice video, great
Informative!!
Thank you! Glad you like it 😁
@@SITENG keep moving more sir,
We will support to watch out it..
Thank you so much engineer !!
You are welcome! Thank you 🙏
Love your videos boss keep up the good work
Thanks Tony!!! I will do :)
good work, bro
Thank you Cavid :)
I enjoy the video, but do show me how to put my station point manually and orientation and stakeout manually. Thanks
just type it in using the Leica keyboard

Hello can you explain how to put down primary control points on a site?

What does ukpn stand for

@@SITENG Hi, yes, it’s a opening holes in the slab , how can I do it please?
No stickers around...🤔🤔
@@SITENG I can’t set up any stations around of the building, nothing around 😩thanks for yours responding 🤝🤝

I am looking at doing a setting out course I’m a formwork joiner by trade how far can you go with just doing the setting out course ?

Where would your course be located and will you be doing it via citb

@@krukarlukasz3834 Thank you so much for the enlightenment. It has definitely increased my knowledge in the use of EDM and understanding of surveying.
Thanks
Thanks Ediseu!
You fortgot to mention to stamp the legs before putting instrument on the tripod, in loose ground pushing it down might be not good enough.
On the concrete I just set the legs and push them making sure they won't slide not stamping on the legs at this might only break them in this case.

Hi Greg,
Can you teach me TS15? I am based in London/Surrey.
Hi Sachi! I am not in UK currently, probably will be back around April😁 Working on a course so will let you know when ready 👍👍👍
All your videos are very useful and help full to me. Thank you and keep it up..
Thank you 👍👍👍
Whwe is this site...the country
Hi! It's in UK, I was working in London Wembley then 😁
can you explain in malaylam
No, sorry I can't. I hope you can still find the videos useful though 😁
