Survey stakes are markers surveyors use in surveying projects to prepare job sites, and mark out property boundaries. Stakes may be color-coded or have a space for people to write information on the stake. Surveyors use stakes when assessing sites to mark out boundaries, record data, and convey information to other people. On a job site, for example, survey stakes indicate where it is necessary to backfill with soil to raise the elevation, or to cut soil away to lower it. Stakes can also provide information about slope and grading for people getting a job site ready for construction. In this case we are using them to locate the corners of the building and to check the grade of the building pad. #surveyor #surveyorstakes #quailridgeproject #stringline #buildingpad https://www.instagram.com/p/BqpZlcwl3SO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1au9ydqv93aqu
