Things I consider was taught have they been abandoned am I missing something?
Just random thoughts as I re wire my brain to Land Surveying daily practices.
1. Topo – How far do you let your crews trig elevations with robot or total station rough horizontal distance before you say anything to the crews?
2. Managing control on a job site. Â As we all know control gets knocked out disturbed or just Mother Nature frost thaw causes issues over the life span of a project. How do you teach mentor your crews to take time to replace update or add additional control?
3. What goes in a Field Book now days vs just using the data collected as a electronic field book?
4. How often do you like to see BS checks during a all day topo or staking? Â In my early years it was a feel and whenever the crew chief lit a cigarette so fairly often especially when the topsoil was frosted in morning and thawing as sun warmed up the soil.Â
5. How do your standards go for traversing. Face 1 Face 2 BS FS how many rounds or sets? I know some jobs small and you don’t even turn rounds multiple angles. But generally.
6. Fly or temp points How do you set that up. One angle do you require a check or just leave it hanging out with out a check to a point. Independent of the BS etc.Â
7. Do you require a third point check at every set up or just BS and go to work? Â I think this one has some play on if you know your control and what the task is.Â
8. How is your schedule. Do your crews get told the day of or night before what and where they are going or is it planned week days etc in advance normally or is it always a shuffle/hustle? Â
9. Travel jobs. Out of town advance notice or hey your going out of town tomorrow etc.Â
10. Â Give me some examples of cheat sheets check list for jobs if you are lining out crews. I am trying to become more efficient and of course learning what works for one chief might not for another. Is email the primary or do you take time to explain the scope requirements in person etc type thing.Â
