Procedure of Surveying Works (4–6 marks)

1. Reconnaissance Survey

• Preliminary inspection of the area
• Study existing features like roads, buildings, drainage, utilities
• Select suitable survey methods and stations

---

2. Establishment of Control Points

• Fix horizontal and vertical control points using triangulation/traverse
• Establish bench marks (BM) for level reference
• Ensures accuracy for further work

---

3. Detailed (Topographical) Survey

• Collect data of ground features and elevations
• Use instruments like theodolite, total station, level
• Prepare topographic map/plan

---

4. Setting Out (Layout) Work

• Transfer design details from drawings to ground
• Mark positions of roads, buildings, drainage lines, foundations
• Use pegs, stakes, and lime marking

---

5. Levelling Work

• Determine reduced levels (RLs) for construction
• Ensure proper slope for drainage and roads

---

6. Checking and Verification

• Regularly check alignment, levels, and positions
• Correct errors during construction

---

7. As-Built Survey

• Conduct final survey after completion
• Prepare as-built drawings showing actual construction

---

Conclusion (1 mark)

By assisting in accurate surveying, setting out, and continuous checking, the project can be executed efficiently, safely, and according to design, ensuring successful reconstruction of the industrial district.
