good morning guys uh welcome back to my channel to SITENG i'm already after very strong coffee
and i'm ready to go to my work and in today's video guys i'm going to show you the day of
the life of a civil engineer on my last job doing different kinds of wars i believe today we got few
things to do so that should be very interesting and guys before we start today please don't forget
to subscribe to my channel leave the thumbs up leave the comments if you got any questions as
this helps to grow this channel and don't forget to follow my page on linkedIn as well so let's go
guys that's the morning another day in paradise as i say
that's the finger here i'm gonna go through the turnstiles happy
come days here
look at a nice job you guys already working here
and that's my office here
that's how my office is looking uh now here there's this pm is sitting there usually and uh
and my desk is here you see got some drawings here already my robotic here uh we got manhole
here to install at a little bit of land rain and i'm going to show you that in a minute that gonna
be my first job today just to have a look and once they find the pipe i'm gonna do the reading
and just make sure everything is correct so you guys let's go have a look what's happening on site
so guys my first job today is uh land drainage here it's going along this wall i'm going to show
you we started in there we're gonna find the pipe as we run that drainage up to somewhere where the
digger is actually now i mark where the manhole is and i'm gonna show you the line the drainage
we're gonna be looking in there first i don't know if you see this the red mark and after we
find it i'm going to show you i'm going to need to take a reading just to make sure the level is okay
i'm going to show you obviously this man is happy so i got you targets you know actually
because this time i didn't use the retro i got few retros there one on top of that building and
one behind me but i show you what you can do also as i put something like this
just with a with a pencil really and you can use it as a station as well obviously it's
not a retro target but that's the point in the space so you need the position and the level and
that's how you can base your edm obviously so i got another one there so that's another way
if you don't have any retros or you just do quickly some temporary stations uh just
to make make a quick setup later so yeah guys after we dig it i'm going to show you
and that'll be the first job but while i'm here guys uh i want to also have a look what how guys
is doing here in front of block b that's the block b and we're doing the marketing suite here
the this MSU going to be now in the building and uh we laying some paving here and uh oh you can
see so the guy's doing the job there this is already laid here around the substation
not much to be done by me just just to have a look and ask guys if they need anything and have a look
if everything goes all right so that's how it looks uh we're connecting here with the existing
uh footpaths so that's what we're using here you can see the guys using the string lines
they set the level like that so there's no really engineer needed for it uh once i set the first
levels for this that was actually my friend before setting all this planter here and then once that
punter is set and it's correct i checked it then the guy's uh running the paving to it
to the correct levels so that's it just a quick check everything is all right everyone is happy
and i'm gonna go for next job so guys so one of my jobs here uh in this position i got here now
it's also like taking the quants and checking what we need so i'll do some markups as well as you can
see here i just put a precision tarmac area in that area i show you when we're going to doing
the drainage i do some markers for the drainage all the services we need to install there as well
and i got yeah there's a bit of water to be rebuilt so i do a few markups i send it to my pm
and i uh he gonna know what we need what we need to order on the all the stuff i got the details
here it's upside down actually but that's that's here so i'm gonna know how we're gonna be looking
the lens of the pipes we need uh i'm gonna find out after we find uh where we finish as i couldn't
find the ass built for it but uh we actually had to stop unfortunately because there's a cable
pulling for that block now so that's probably going to carry on monday but they're going to be
they're always something to do so my another quick job is guys this is already finished
we did externals here as well all this paving permeable paving and obviously all the services
below ground here we've done all the stuff and just a little bit here i'm just checking on guys
the install in two benches uh this is the long lead item so just you need to make sure they're
gonna come in time and uh they actually came today and that's the benches here the guy's installing
there we already poured the foundation before we laid the paving so you can see he's getting
to the concrete now he's going to install them i'll double check he got the marks there
and i gave him dimensions as well they got the line there so it's simple stuff but anyway it's
good to keep an eye on everything really so i'm gonna probably go now to double check that uh
man holder if they found a pipe and i'm gonna show you everything anyway oh guys we got a little bit
of sunshine i'm lucky now i'm probably going to change in a minute anyway so i'm going to set my
edm now and i'm going to show you what i'm going to do guys i'm going to set some new targets to
do the survey later after the power run gonna go and check and connect all that cables around
the substation and i'm going to show you all of that obviously but i'm going to set my vm and i'm
going to show you how i set the targets and what i'm going to do and how i'm doing it so guys i'm
going to be doing the resection as uh typical oh there is a galore coming i hope i'm not on the way
we'll see now and he stopped there i hope not gonna be revenge anymore i got a target there
so i hope i'm gonna i hope i'm gonna hit that target i got another one here uh i don't know if
you can see and i got one actually there are three but i'm gonna use one on the substation there
i'm gonna put one on this leg here uh the reason for it obviously guys i want to set up my edm
later behind this hoarding here the new hoarding so i'm going to set one target on the hoarding the
one on this leg so i'm gonna have a three targets later just to be able here to set up my edm on
this side and be comfortable you know wherever i need do the resection and do the surveys and mark
up wherever i need so yeah guys let's go to the resection and then i'm going to set the targets
so guys i finished my resection uh one second zero zero two millimeters on height not the
best on height i typically got zero and i got some small error on uh easting northing but
i'm happy with it anyway for this works and what i'm gonna do guys now i'm gonna show you this uh
i'm gonna set i got one retro i'm gonna set one retro target and also i'm gonna do i just
do with a pencil just across for this and but guys that's a good practice now what i'm gonna show you
what i do i just mark on the target before i fix it this is block g and f so i actually called it g
f that's gonna be g f one and i'm gonna put g f two later on the hoarding and uh the reason
for it guys once you're doing your resection and you're aiming at the targets you know what you're
aiming for and and i'll show you in a minute just on that substation there are three targets
with nothing on them so you actually don't know if you if you're working obviously
you're going to remember this but once you come in on some new engineer comments good
to have it that's a good practice really so keep it like that please so i got my gf
one i'm gonna stick it just here i typically just try to wipe the surface a little bit so
it's gonna stick properly but on this surface it's gonna stick well i believe so i got my target here
happy days and what i'm gonna do now is obviously turn my edm and i'm gonna shoot it the angle is
maybe not the best but once i'm gonna do another restriction here i'm gonna shoot it again and then
i take the average and then i'm gonna move behind the hoarding and survey new ones so let's go
so guys i moved my edm here closer to that station so i got targets here i know you can i yeah it's
two targets no names on them nothing there so i'm actually put something on them that's the cables
here the power on coming to do some connections here as well
and after this i want to do a proper survey of every single one of them with the photos
so whoever gonna dig here again by any chance you're gonna get the proper information
unlike us here before we started here so my one target there and i'm just going to show you here
my another one i didn't have a retro actually to use i found only one but i put here
gf2 or maybe do like that also so i'm gonna see it from further distance and that's the same story i
just do the resection do the survey and guys at the end of this video i'm gonna take all these
points maybe on the one drawing and i'll show you how i keep all the stations all the targets
on one drawing so whoever gonna start a job after me or whatever engine you're
gonna come or whoever gonna ask for targets i can actually provide this information with a
very useful format or dxf you can copy this back into your edm to make life of our engineers easy
we are guys like one big engineer's family and of course in each family you're going to find some
but i think we should help each other guys and keeping the information in the good way giving
the others opportunity to just come on site and do their job properly instead of struggling to get
the basic information and looking like they they don't know what they're doing really
compared to the engineer living and stuff like that and i had a few times guys many people are
reluctant to give you the information and they reluctant really to help you but uh we're not
gonna be like that and we're gonna bring a proper practice uh to help each other guys
so guys as we say job done i got the new coordinates here new stations so i'm going
to be able to set the am whatever i like here you can see here i hope on that map
oh it's better now you see i got this survey point gf1 gf3 gf2 and gf4 so that's my new
station on this side just on the way back guys i'm going to show you how my friends from reddington
doing here they're actually flying like always guys uh look at the groundworks here block c
and then uh block a it's already in the air one core here they struck two others
and uh look at the high legs there uh it's jesus is around five meters nearly i'll double check
on the drawing later so it's really interesting project here as well you see the concrete flying
four cranes is not enough for these guys look they got a mobile one as well
a few diggers temporary works a big part of works as well i'm gonna cover here on my channel too and
yeah guys i'm gonna go to my task just to show you here look at the other blocks jesus this brick is
eating this they're gonna eat that building very quickly so you're stopped by the guys but i see
the cables are pulled already you see the cable here uh repeat so they were pulling these cables
through the ducts and they asked us actually to dig another little bit hole for the everything
i see they got the earthing cable here ready so they're going to connect it there and that's it
and that's good news we can probably come back to our job with the land drainage so we found a pipe
down there as you can see here and i i decided i'm gonna bring my edm here i'm gonna set it in
the minute and i'm gonna shoot that and that'll be actually last job for today and the weekend starts
but obviously once i do this survey i'm gonna plot it on the cat drawing and we're gonna have a look
where we are and then later i'm gonna just double check how many pipes we need to finish this job
so guys the idiom is here set and leveled now i got one retro target there on the back
i'm not sure if you can see yeah it's not that visible but i got one right out there and this
targets i showed you at the beginning of the video i'm gonna set up and i'm gonna do survey on the
pipe and as i said i'm gonna plot it later on the cut and i'll be finished for today so resection is
done here look at this guys easting zero northing zero height one millimeter that's what we love
that's the error we are looking for and then i'm gonna just turn the instrument now and i don't
know if you're gonna see this on the pipe you see the laser here and i'm gonna put it on the pipe
and i just shoot in the center of the pipe there and that's how i'm going to get my invert level
and the position so that's great i'm just going to go to survey jobs you can check all these videos
about the survey setting out the setups stations resections all the stuff in my settings series
so if you want to have a look you just you just jump into that videos and yeah let's
do the survey and let's go so i'm back in the office uh with my survey i'm gonna just put my
usb stick here and i'm gonna copy the job dxf job and we're gonna put it on the card drawing
okay the job should be in data folder here open this i called it pipe let's
have a look here pipe is this one here i got it open now i just double click to
find yeah so i got these two points here you see the point i just surveyed p1 and it's a level here
45 950 and i'm gonna just move it uh to my drawing so what i'm gonna do now i control shift the copy
with the base point that's what i showed on my last video uh base point i'm gonna use zero zero
for it i'm gonna press enter and i'm gonna open the drainage drawing and i'm going to overlay it
in just a second so that's my drainage drawing here so our point should be somewhere here
and i'm going to do a ctrl v this time i'm going to paste it with a base point
which is zero zero and that should turn up in here
and now i'm going to just measure here quickly i do align and from this point of the point is
actually in the center so that they said whoever was doing the setting out was perfect there
and then i'm just measured from here uh up to here let's say roughly so i'm now we're
gonna need the four meters uh of a pipe so that's what i'm gonna use for my order
you
