Laser levels are so useful. I was using mine today to take some area levels on the ground where some wood decking is going to be built. So easy for just one person to do.
Great way to interact with the community by introducing exercises! The message in the video is clear and precise. All the best for your project SITENG.
Height of colimation = 50500 +756 =51256mm a) 60835 -51256 = 9579mm on the staff b) 51256 - 47340 = 3916mm on the staff (correct me if I am wrong) Thanks for the video. I am extremely excited a came across it.
@@ifeanyiokpala623 Sorry, did not see your comment. This are random numbers for you to train. I did not want to use the same ones, but wanted you to use the same method using whatever levels you are given 😁
Great video, assuming the datum 50500 and laser is set to 756 above the datum giving us a starting level of 51256, to setup a soffit of a level of 53500 would mean we would set the staff to 53500-51256 = 2244? and apologies if I missed this but is there a reason to flip the staff upside down to set the soffit? or is this just to work the numeracy easier? Basically I am asking for the most effective and accurate way to set a level for soffit. Also, once again - great video.
@@SITENG but do you set the RL differently? or is it the same except inverted staff? for example measure from bottom of the staff but measure top down rather than bottom up?
@@7DMarty if you set levels below height of collimation (laser level) you use staff in 'normal' way, if you set the level above the laser, then you use inverted staff. I hope it makes sense :)
This is typically provided on site, you can transfer it from the 'main' datum. Surveyors will provide it, or you will get some national grid points with all info
I think all Leica's rotating lasers are called Rugby. The one in the video is of the 600s series - Leica Rugby 620. And the receiver seems to be Leica Rod Eye 160
if I may just add ... there are plenty of books out there and it's hard to say what's best for who. But some prefer the classic "Surveying for Engineers By J. Uren, W.F. Price.". The 5th edition might be costly but you still can find (if lucky) the 4th edition (the used one) for a good price
hello sir, i just got here in the UK, I have a civil engineering degree in the Philippines. Is it possible for me to work as a civil engineer in the UK?
Yes it is, once you have your permit to work. You can send your diploma to uk Naric (ENIC) and try to get statement of comparability - you can watch my CSCS video for more info
hi there, im a new subscriber, i was wondering if i am trying to get some levels with this laser, how do i get the readings? i mean do i have to move up and down the staff the receiver so it could take some readings if i go down a slope?
Hi Omar! In theory yes, as the laser is spinning at the same level (height of collimation). It all depends what height differences as if big I would use a tape measure and measure from the receiver and if small you can play with the staff.
Hi Saulo! There is no dumb questions! I set it there just to explain how to work with the laser having a datum. Normally you will set it yourself using master datum, or resection. When on site this information is provided by the client.
yeah, it depends on what you do and at what stage of construction ... but let's say if you wanna do some setting out for dry-lining the master datum is already on the site long before. So you just take it from there :)
Hi Mohsin! TS 12 will be the same as it uses VIVA software, the controller will be smaller and bit different. Just edm is without the soft, but I believe you will have a controller.
@@SITENG thank you for your reply keep up the good work with your videos.I’ve recently passed the setting out course but have no field experience so the videos you put up are very helpful thanks again.
Thanks for the video mate. I would like to become a setting out engineer. What's your advice for me? Are there job opportunities for new setting out engineers? I have MEng in petroleum engineering but couldn't find graduate job opportunity, very fluctuating industry it depends on oil prices down and and up a lot of times. I'd appreciate your advice as it's from an experienced engineer.
Sorry for late answer. You have to look for an assistant engineer/chainperson position first, than after you gain some experience go for Setting out engineer.
@@SITENG Thanks a lot very much appreciated. There's an intensive course for 10 day costs £2000 at The Civil Engineering Academy which tains applicants to become Setting Out Engineers and they aim to find job opportunities after completion of the course. Applicants must pass exam with 95% to gain a setting out engineering certificate. I'm thinking this is too good to be true. Link of the Academy www.civilengineeringacademy.co.uk/
Dude. Thank you. The sharing of information without reward is the hallmark of humanity's best chance for collective progress.

Thank you Bikash! Happy to hear that 👍👍👍
As a civil engineer myself, was enjoying the video and then I laughed out loud when I saw the exercise in the description. Great video))
Glad you enjoyed it Oscar :)
@@SITENG keep up the good work man.
I will, thanks!
Height of colimation = 50500 +756 =51256mm

b) 51256 - 47340 = 3916mm on the staff (correct me if I am wrong)
Thanks for the video. I am extremely excited a came across it.
Correct! a) will be above the laser and b) will be below.
I see now the 60835 would be actually impossible to set on typical 5m staff :)
@@SITENG The above values "756", "60835" and "47340" didn't reflect on your video tutorial. Can you explain where the values come from?
@@ifeanyiokpala623 Sorry, did not see your comment. This are random numbers for you to train. I did not want to use the same ones, but wanted you to use the same method using whatever levels you are given 😁
Great informative video mate, I like your style.
Glad to hear that, Thanks!!
This was just what I was looking for, many thanks!
Happy to help Stuart :)
Super simple to use and so efficient tool.
Yes it is :) Really makes our life easy.

Also, once again - great video.
Typically you use inverted staff as it’s easier - you will be using a bottom of staff as your level
@@SITENG but do you set the RL differently? or is it the same except inverted staff? for example measure from bottom of the staff but measure top down rather than bottom up?

Thanks Survey Book!
that is really great informaiton, I have question .
where I can get the datum level?
This is typically provided on site, you can transfer it from the 'main' datum. Surveyors will provide it, or you will get some national grid points with all info
Great…thanks for the vid n information
Heppy you like it 😁
Great video. Just one correction. At 10:05, you are pointing to a reading of 1.038 m instead of 1.138. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Riz! I'll check this weekeng, I am very busy now.
Checked, no I am pointing at 1.138 :)
Same principle for slabs, columns and beams.. please is there a video for taking level for all these
have a look at my construction site videos
Great video! This wasn't around when I was setting out. Would of been great tool for some of my assistants to study at home. 👏👏
Thanks Conor! I hope my channel will help 'new' engineers as I remember my struggle :)
Thank you so much engineer !!
You are welcome! Thank you👍👍
All laser levels are same principle?
Yes, but there are grade lasers too and you have to set these
Thank you mate appreciate your vids
Glad you like them! Thank you for the comment!
Hi Sir! what exactly survey instrument are you using? or Specs. thank you
Hi Mark! I am using Leica TS15, robotic EDM. Laser is Leica Rugby.
I think all Leica's rotating lasers are called Rugby. The one in the video is of the 600s series - Leica Rugby 620.
And the receiver seems to be Leica Rod Eye 160
Great videos could you do maby a grade laser showing set up and slopes ect would be useful 👍
Thanks Jamie! I will, I'll try to get pipe laser, but can't promise when.
Hi their I’ve just started in engineering could you tell what’s the best book to get to help start from basics please
Hi Lol! Not sure really, but I am working on one so when is ready it will be the best😁

@@SITENG Wow, really! That's a great news! Any ideas on when about it to be released?
Sorry for late answer, did not see. Coming soon 😁😁
the answer :
for a/- 9579mm abouve.
for b/- 3916mm under.
thank you so much.
Exactly that!!!
@@SITENG and how do you set 5 m staff to 9579mm :)?? I doubted myself as result did not make sense to me for "A". You got me ;)
@@krukarlukasz3834 Good, now you have more confidence in yourself as your calculations are right 😁
