Engineering and construction surveying
Structural-grid setting out
Structural-grid setting out planned around the required accuracy, available information, site conditions, and intended technical outcome.
Overview
Maplas provides structural-grid setting out through a scoped workflow. Design information, site control, tolerances, access, and independent checks are established before field positions or measurements are relied on. The selected approach is intended to translate design intent into controlled field information or verify constructed work. Scope and reliance are confirmed for the specific assignment, and no statutory outcome is guaranteed.
Typical use cases
This service may be useful for project planning, field verification, design or construction support, technical review, data preparation, quality control, or decision-making involving design geometry, construction control, site execution, quality checks, and as-built records. The appropriate use depends on the records, site, accuracy need, and requested output.
Expected deliverables
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include checked setting-out points, offsets, coordinates, field records, or a concise setting-out note. Formats, coordinate references, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before delivery.
Client preparation
Available records, the general location, intended use of the work, site-access information, and any known constraints should be discussed before the assignment is confirmed.
Maplas process
Maplas reviews the requirement, confirms an appropriate method, plans the field or technical work, checks the resulting data, and prepares the agreed outputs.
Professional scope
Regulated survey work is undertaken through an appropriately licensed survey partner and in accordance with applicable Kenyan professional and legal requirements.
