They can take 3 1/4" caps. They are almost as easy as rebar to set, but much more stable and difficult to move. A 24 " feno spike requires a huge hole...

By "rod" do you mean rebar? If the client cares enough for brass you should give them a better monument. Put the brass on a pipe or a Feno spike.

Geodetic mean bearing with distances at actual elevation always works, and with modern software any surveyor can rectrace/recreate it.

Many areas require monuments to be locatable with a metal detector.

No one suggested setting a rebar. If that is your only option, than by all means leave the stone. Another thing far worse than leaving the stone in pl...

I hope your survey will be recorded, I know in some states that's almost impossible. If you can't record replace the original. If you can, set a new m...

No reason to rehab a stone, set a pipe in its place and record what you have done. Too many surveyors don't dig for stones or don't know how to recogn...

How can you make money, no matter how bad you survey, if you drive 100 mIles for a $500 job?

Oh, and if your boundary corners are really calculated by an engineer you may have bigger problems.

A construction site is usually clear by the time layout is being done, perfect for a total station. It is possible to get acceptable tolerances with R...
