Very cool to learn more about high-rise builds. Honestly teaching me more about the job in 10 minutes than 3 years of uni. Got a pretty okay groundworks background now after 3 years of practice too, but these are something I haven't done before! It really is helping me discover more about the trade and keeps things exiting! Thank you for your hard work it really is appreciated!
Whatever is better for you really, of course make sure your line is spot on. When using a prism on the long pole it's not that easy and when using the laser you still need some target to mark it right
Hi Jamie! I don't have a video only about it, but I am showing a bit here: ruclips.net/video/E_bpgERZKw0/видео.html Normally I am setting pins with levels and pull a string line.
most chippies are not real chippies these days, a good chippy don't need much, a lot of people just bought a hammer, start the job and all want engineer to check everything really. They don't know what the plumb bob is 🤔, so we really have to check everything to make sure all is good.
Hi Greg. First of all I would like to thank you for the good job you doing. I would like to know if you are planing more videos about auto cad and what kind of licenses would you advice the full one or maybe TL for setting out.
Hi Greg, Well Done on the videos very well edited. So you would under no circumstances advise on setting up on a deck. Another engineer said he did but only when it was him alone on the deck and he said the EDM (Robotic) compensator took care of the level disturbance if it was in the "seconds".(while he moved about on the deck.)
I wouldn't set EDM on the decking, definitely. You need to think about these things in advance. How to set up, you can also use a concrete block, some guys putting precast column flat on the deck :) Please don't set on decking, if I would see that I would have a big doubts about the engineer and would definitely stop it on my site. (bet the setting out on that job is terrible ;)
@@SITENG when you say they put a precast column on a deck. Would the deck not move anyway and then the precast?? Ya im just exploring different options another one i heard is to ser out everything on the slab below and use a spot laser to plumb the point unto the underside of the deck and nail through.
the main thing is to set your EDM with minimum movement possible and setting on the deck is no good for it. Even when you are using mono leg there still be some movement as the column is not 'fixed' on top, but this will give you acceptable error. using laser - plummet points is different thing and is very good for high rise buildings to keep your resection within smallest error as using targets may be difficult/impossible.
@@SITENG This is exactly what I wanted to read. I don't work off the ground much at all, but am doing a little bit of asbuilt-ing on a two-story build. Guys tried convincing me to set up on aluminum decking today (in the rain, no less) and scoffed when I told them it wouldn't be happening. I was wondering if somebody like yourself, who works on large buildings all the time, would have some kind of suggestion. "Don't do it" is the best suggestion I could ask for.
Thanks Scott! You would need to use plmmet points, leaving a box/hole in the slab and set the EDM over it (using a plummet laser over a known point - station).
You can use a monopod, like Survipod - you have to set your EDM there. than you can check some level and refer to it - wherever it will be (provided it's not moving)
Hi Ram! Setting out is the main thing and the best to get the job. You need to know how to read the drawings of course to be able to do setting out correctly, but I would say once you can use EDM and can take basic info from the drawings that's all you need.

Great to hear!
Hello Greg! Thank you for the videos. I would like to ask if you have a video explaining how do you transfer control points from level to level?
I don't have a video like this, but typically I set targets around the job so I can use it, or when the one block is higher etc
You are doing some great work. Thank u so much
Thank you Praveen!!!
Well executed video Greg..!
Hi! Thanks, glad you like you
Great piece, really appreciate .
Thanks Frank! Happy you like it :)
oh yes sirr, was waiting for the next video, I suggest you need to talk about staff or gradient lasers if you get a chance
Hi! Good idea, I will show gradients when I start covering drainage works soon :)
Can you please show how you would set out stairs, core and the balcony brackets really good vid thank you
Hi Khalid! I will try to do one, but you need to give me some time. I will do slipform and show stairs as well.
Great video Greg. Very informative. Cari
Thank you Cari! I did not know you have King's road park channel :)
Hi Greg
What is the best way to mark the slab edges and steps when setting out on the deck.
Prism or laser?
Thanks

Any videos set out footpaths kerbs road levels position etc

Would you ever just use tape measure to tape things in and some of those things I would expect a chippy to be able to do him self?

Hi jerzyqs! LT is enough, full version is really expensive and for site engineering LT is really good :)

Hi Greg, great content! How do you resection on high rise if control is on ground floor building etc?
Thanks Scott! You would need to use plmmet points, leaving a box/hole in the slab and set the EDM over it (using a plummet laser over a known point - station).
Hi Siteng,
When on top of the decking how do you set laser level for the ssl, as you don't have any columns or walls to mark up?
You can use a monopod, like Survipod - you have to set your EDM there. than you can check some level and refer to it - wherever it will be (provided it's not moving)
Hello sir, I like your videos . Can you please make a video on cv or else can you share you cv.
Hi Asim! I'll try to do a video, if now I will put some CVs on my LinkedIn, or Ko-fi page :)
Thanks for help us
It's my pleasure :)
@@SITENGI am a AutoCAD site engineer construction and also estimator
plz explain slab reinforcement in detail
WHi Gagan! Will do a video about rebar soon, but more generally. Anyway will try to say more about the slab too 😊
😊
Happy you like it ;)
What are the skills set and knowledge a site engineer should possess in general ?
Hi Ram! Setting out is the main thing and the best to get the job. You need to know how to read the drawings of course to be able to do setting out correctly, but I would say once you can use EDM and can take basic info from the drawings that's all you need.
What's your position in there?
I am not there any more, but was a senior engineer, with the main job QA.
have any way how can i contecte with you man
Hi! the best is LinkedIn 😁
I am a civil engineer from india
I want to job in UK construction company but
Hi! You need to look on line for one.
