Fig.1: Example plan to be set out on the ground

1. From the plan (fig 1), the centre line of the walls are calculated. Then the centre lines of th
setting perpendiculars in the ratio 3:4:5. Suppose the corner points are a, b, c, d, e, f and g w
pegs with nails on top.

2. The setting of the corner point is checked according to diagonals ac, bd, cf and eg.

3. During excavation, the centre points a, b, c, d, e, f, g may be removed. Therefore the centr
and the centre points are marked about 2m away from the outer edge of excavation.

Thus the points A1, A2, B1, B2 and likewise, are marked outside the trench. Centre line are s
stretching thread or rope. The centre points fixed 2m away from the excavation are marked

4. From the plan details, the width of excavation to be done is also marked by thread with p
positions.

5. The excavation width is then marked by lime or by with furrow with spade.

6. If the plan is much to complicated and follows a zigzag pattern, then the centre pegs are k
positions according to site conditions.
