Overview

Perform precise surveying and setting‑out for stormwater and micro‑tunneling works.

Key Responsibilities

• topographic survey
• instrument calibration
• as‑built verification
• alignment monitoring
• control points
• hse compliance

Tasks

-Perform topographic, control, and setting-out surveys for stormwater and microtunneling works, including pipelines, shafts, manholes, and associated civil structures. -Verify and certify survey results for measurement sheets, interim payments, and progress verification. -Calibrate and maintain survey instruments (total stations, GPS, digital levels) in accordance with project QA/QC procedures. -Coordinate with the contractor and supervision team to resolve survey discrepancies or deviations on-site. -Conduct as-built surveys and verify the accuracy of contractors’ as-built drawings prior to submission. -Review and apply approved IFC drawings, alignment data, and coordinate systems in compliance with RTA and project requirements. -Participate in pre-construction and progress meetings to provide input on survey status, site constraints, and required actions. -Check and verify horizontal and vertical alignments, pipe inverts, tunnel drives, and shaft locations prior to and during construction. -Ensure that all setting-out activities are carried out in accordance with approved method statements and calibration procedures. -Establish, verify, and maintain survey control points, benchmarks, and reference grids in coordination with the contractor’s survey team. -Ensure full compliance with HSE standards during all field operations, particularly in confined-space and shaft areas. -Maintain up-to-date survey records, field books, and digital data files, ensuring full traceability of survey operations. -Provide support during testing, commissioning, and handover stages by verifying final levels and coordinates. -Monitor microtunneling drive alignments and breakthrough coordinates, ensuring compliance with allowable tolerances.
