Setting-out works

Setting-out is the reverse of a topographic survey: instead of measuring what exists and drawing it on a plan, we take points and lines from the design, find them on the ground by their coordinates and fix them with markers. Excavating foundations, driving piles, building fences, roads and pipelines all start from these marks.

Topoqraf AZ carries out setting-out in Baku and all regions of Azerbaijan under licence EL-845/2026. We use SOUTH GNSS RTK receivers (±1–2 cm in plan) and total stations (1"–2"): building axes that need the highest accuracy are set out by total station, while long routes are staked with GNSS.

After each setting-out the marks are verified by check measurements and handed over to the client with a setting-out certificate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is setting-out?

It is locating design points, axes and boundaries on the ground with surveying instruments and marking them with pegs or other markers.

What do I need to provide?

A design with coordinates (site plan, grid layout or land title plan) and information on the coordinate system. If there are no coordinates, we can compute them from the design.

What does the cost depend on?

Number of points, site size, required accuracy and deadline. Use the calculator on our website for an estimate or call us.
