hi guys and welcome back to SITENG in today's video i'm going to tell you how the really good
engineers work on site and obviously the first thing you want your full PPE here you wanted
protection and we engineers actually should have them all the time if they required as we represent
our client and we representing our employer here and people are watching us especially watching how
we work so i cannot imagine the engineers not giving the example for the other workers but
i hope it's obvious thing for you guys and now step by step i'm going to tell you how the good
engineers work so very first thing going to be the control points here on the job job like this here
you want to make sure you got the proper control points you want to check what the information is
provided by the client if there was a surveyor here setting some control stations for you you
want to actually go on site make sure you're going to see the targets do your resection first check
if everything ties in and that will be the very first thing even before PM or Senior engineer
start firing some other drawings at you just make sure you want to go inside set your instrument
i'm talking actually about doing setting out in this case but you want to make sure you
got this information correct you know where the stations are and when you do the resections you
want to make sure you're actually able to set your instrument in every point of your job so it might
be actually now time to add some new targets to set some few datums for yourself to make it really
easy for you to work with the EDM or maybe the simple setting the levels you want to make sure
you got the datums and the stations everywhere be comfortable with it that how every good engineer
works very first thing is to be comfortable with the setting out the next thing the step number
two i would say going to be the drawings the information you have they might be from some
platform from a site but every good engineer makes sure he got the latest information and that's the
most important thing make sure you're actually working with the latest information that's how
good engineers do it you may realize later that you didn't work with the latest one now would be
the time to speak with the senior engineer maybe with the project manager to sit with you five
minutes just come to me and say greg let's sit for five minutes make sure i'm doing the right thing
that's the latest one as i can promise you on most of the jobs there are some emails running with the
latest information it's not even uploaded to the platforms you might be using so it might be five
minutes but gonna save a lot of time later and this way you're making sure you're doing the right
thing and that's actually what every good engineer does don't be afraid to ask a question we seniors
are for you here to help you and to make sure everything is done as it should be as it designed
as per latest revision another step another very important thing is once you're on site
you're comfortable with your control points you're able to do the resection everywhere you know now
you're working with the latest revision the next thing is a communication and every good engineer
can communicate with the workforce very good you want to speak with everyone you want to speak with
foreign minds you want to speak with construction manager you want to make sure you know how they
want the information you are providing on site you got the drawings you got the EDMs you marking
the lines you mark in the levels but you want to make sure the guys understand what you're doing
remember that we are working together we are part of the team i know some engineers that were like
living in the different world doing something no one could even understand what they're doing
sometimes so that was a confusion there we don't want it we are one team and the communication is
the key to achieve it so if it's chippies ask them what they need maybe they want to offset photo
columns maybe they want a line for the column if it's fixers if you're working on the rebar maybe
they want a center of the column for them it's the center or maybe it's edge as well speak with
the people be friend with them that's how good engineers work and then after we got all these
steps the good resection good information good communication we need the proper tools to market
right so if you want to see the few items few tools i really recommend and i was using myself
when i was doing set now just check that video here and i'm talking about the 10 most important
things every good engineer use and then i'm going to leave a link in description to the video
as well so that will be all guys in this video that's how the good engineer works trust me first
make sure you can do the resection everywhere you can set the level everywhere on your side
the second thing make sure you got the latest information here speak with your senior engineer
make sure that's the latest one third thing communication on site this is really important one
as well and the last thing gonna be the right way to mark your stuff so use the proper things for it
use some proper chalk line use the spray we are professional so we don't want to look like babies
coming next day and talking about the lines we mark and they they just not there so make sure
your lines not disappearing and the information is still there and there's proper information
well communicated so thank you for watching guys that will be all in today's video don't forget to
