A quick reference explaining the math and technique behind using a laser level to shoot grade, calculate elevations, perform QC, or obtain cut full data in the field. LeanSurvey Website: http://www.leansurveyor.com/

This video covers the math behind calculating elevations at the level and intermediate grades using the side shot method. It also explains how to check in or close out a level loop if the level has not been moved during the leveling task. #survey #LeanSurvey #Surveyors #surveying #layout #leveling #levelwork #civilgrading #civilgrades #sideshot #sideshots #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #builderslevel

This video covers how to understand or write your own survey stakes in the field. These ‘lath’ as they are called contain important information that allows you or the person performing the future construction to fully understand and QC positions, elevations and other data being relayed. Wether you are learning to write up descriptions in the field or just want to be uncle to understand survey stakes, this video has you covered. #staking #surveystakes #layout #surveylayout #constructionstakes #constructionstaking #survey #surveying #surveyor #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #stakes #lath

For those just getting started, here is a 'tips and trick' style video regarding dispensing, tying and storing rolls of flagging. #survey #leanSurvey #Surveyors #surveying #layout #layoutandcontrol #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #construction #flagging

This video explains how construction surveying is defined and how different entities come together to ensure layout work is a success. #survey #leanSurvey #Surveyors #surveying #layout #layoutandcontrol #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #construction #constructionsurveying

This video covers setting a point using a standard conventional total station with the least amount of check shots or any other wasted motion. #survey #leanSurvey #Surveyors #surveying #layout #constructionlayout #pointlayout #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #construction #totalstation

Every day hundreds of foremen and workers shoot pipe inverts around the world. How can they do it correctly? How can we keep high standards? Brandon Montero answers that with a tool he made with Petticoat-Schmitt.

In this video, learn a simple method for creating and verifying your own pace count- which can be used in the field to approximate distance travelled and approximate quick distance measurement without additional equipment or tools. #survey #LeanSurvey #surveyors #surveying #layout #pacing #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #construction

This tutorial covers the import and export of point data to and from Civil 3D using comma separated value point files in PNEZD format. It all covers shifting point elevation datum using a known difference or holding a known point. #survey #LeanSurvey #Surveyors #surveying #civil3d #autodesk #autocad #points #importpoints #exportpoints #pointdatum #datum #adjustdatum #fieldengineer #fieldengineering #construction
