Site and Highways Staking with Trimble SCS 900

Benefits of doing your own stakeout § Stakeout has historically been labor intensive – Multiple person crews § Using Trimble technology reduces labor – Allows single person crews for § GPS (SPSx 81) § Robotic Total Station (SPSx 30) § Reduces cost – Reduces need for subcontracted layout § Reduces downtime – No need to schedule or wait for crews to arrive § Puts the power of data in your hands – Documentation of stake positions and accuracy

SCS 900 Stakeout Menu § Option 3 – Stakeout Menu § Different menu depending on design loaded – Surface design (TTM) – Road design (PRO) § Stakeout Settings

Staking Points § Stake to coordinates (NEZ) – Structures, utilities, radii, corners § Picking Options – Pick from plan view – Pick from list – Create new

Staking Lines § Stake EP, curb, pads, lots, utilities, contours § Picking Options – Pick from plan view – Create New § Other Options – – Reverse Station / offset Tangent / corner points Staking Interval § Trimble Menu

Staking Side Slopes & Catch Points § Project any line at any slope § Dynamic daylight / catch points – Intersection updated using current ground elevation – Useful when model doesn’t daylight correctly, slopes are not complete, or slopes need to be modified

Staking Planes § Simple slopes or pads – Good for temporary work that is not in design § 3 Types – Level Plane – Sloping Plane – Three Point Plane

Staking Surfaces § Live Cut / Fill to current design § Good for supervisors or inexperienced users

Staking Roads – Option 1 § Roadway Feature – Pavement § CL, EP, Curb, Shoulder – Dirt § SG, Ditches, Benches

Staking Roads – Option 2 § Catch Point – Stake design tie slopes – Stake user defined slopes

Staking Roads – Option 3 § Location on Surface – Cut / Fill on the road at § Specific Station / Offset § Any random location

Report Utility § What data is recorded during stakeout? – – – – – Measured NEZ Raw data (LLH or HA/VA/SD) Precision Design NEZ Cut / Fill Horizontal deviation from staked point Station / Offset (lines or roads) In / Out of tolerance Rod height Date and time
