Install settlement plates or markers: datum ties, protection
✅ 22 items
Install settlement plates or markers correctly to establish reliable baseline data for future settlement monitoring. This checklist guides field engineers and surveyors through siting, survey control, protection, and initial readings for settlement plates and settlement markers. It focuses on location verification against approved drawings, robust datum ties to benchmarks, secure physical protection (standpipes, caps, bollards), and capturing defensible initial readings. By bounding the scope to installation and first measurements, you avoid common risks such as mislocated targets, unreliable elevations, damaged risers, or undocumented references that compromise future monitoring. You will confirm survey control, set tolerances, install the plate or marker assembly, protect it from traffic and weather, and record coordinates and elevations with photos and signatures. Full deformation analysis and trend interpretation are intentionally excluded. Use this as a consistent, auditable process that reduces rework and accelerates approvals.
