B EARTHWORKS

Method on Layout and Staking with the Aid of Instrument

Staking out is done before establishing the grade level. It begins with
locating the lot lines. Corners of the lot should normally be marked with
stakes. Then, proceed:

1. Center and level the instrument (builder’s level or transit) over the lot
corner stake. Measure the setback called for by local codes. Sight across to
the opposite corner stake.

2. Drive a 2 × 2 stake at the setback in line with the lot stakes. Use the
transit or builder’s level to check alignment. The vertical and horizontal
crosshairs should center on the top of the stake. Drive a nail on the top-
center of the stake.

3. Place another stake at the correct setback for one side of the property
line. You are now ready to stake out the building lines.

DPWH | Bureau of Construction

B EARTHWORKS
Method on Layout and Staking with the Aid of Instrument

Staking Procedure
Staking out building lines requires two persons. When a builder’s level is
used, the second person will use a rod that must be plumbed along the line of sight.
Since a transit can pivot up and down, the second person uses a stake to locate
corners along the building line.

1. Attach a plumb bob to the center screw or hook on the underside of the
instrument. Some instruments have an optical plumb for zeroing in over a
point. Shift the tripod until the point of the plumb bob is directly over
the point marking the corner of the building lines. This is at point A on line
AB, as shown in the figure.
2. Level the instrument before proceeding further. Recheck for plumb.
3. From point A (or station A), turn the telescope so the vertical crosshair is
directly in line with the edge of a stake or rod held at point B. When using a
transit, sight the telescope on the stake.
4. Use a measuring tape along line AB to locate distance to the corner. Drive a
corner stake at this point.

Pressure treating is a process that

forces a chemical preservative deep
into the wood. The wood product is

cylindrical holding tank, and the tank is
depressurized to remove all air. The
tank is then filled with the preservative
under high pressure, forcing it deeply
into the wood. The tank is then drained
and the remaining preservative reused.
The wood is removed from the tank

punched is 1.5 to 3 mm greater than the diameter of the bolt to make it
easy in inserting and bolts through it.

4. Verify if the welding work needs a partial or complete penetration. The

metal surface is set in accordance with the shape needed in welding. Be
sure that the metals are in their proper position before welding.

near enough to the lip of the purlin
avoiding it to be drilled when making
holes. A guide chord may be stretched
out from end to end of the purlin to
establish alignment.

b. Drilling

After lay outing, drilling points should be located at the crown

every two other corrugations of the roofing material (G.I. Sheet)
