At the beginning, setting out of lines will be carried out to check all possible obstructions prior to commencement of construction. Ground levels are also recorded and records will be jointly signed with the Consultant for future reference. Those G.L. records shall form the basis for Contracts Measurements. The setting out for the Main Secondary Turning points will be carried out by OAJ JV surveyors then it will be checked by the Engineers Surveyors. A traverse drawing showing the actual location and coordinates of the T.Ps (where applicable), as well as the offsets from permanent services will be produced and duly signed by both parties. This traverse drawing will be the reference for all future setting out activities. Shop Drawings will then be prepared and submitted to the Engineer for agreement and approval. The Shop drawings will be the basis for all the construction activities. Any amendments must be recorded and monitored. Care should be taken to only use the latest revision during execution.
