About this Course

Levelling and Setting Out are important skills expected of a construction supervisor in any building or civil engineering project. While a qualified land surveyor is normally engaged to mark out the reference lines, a construction supervisor often needs to transfer levels from a given benchmark and establish level pegs and profile board. He needs the skills and knowledge to interpret surveying and topographical plans and has to be familiar with various types of leveling and setting out equipment such as laser level and theodolites. Today, the building and civil engineering works are increasingly complex. A competent construction supervisor should possess the necessary skills to plan, organise, and set control points and benchmark for other trades. He must update himself to be familiar with various Acts and Local Regulations pertaining to surveying works and to keep abreast with the changes. This course will enhance participants’ competencies in carrying proper leveling and setting-out work. Graduates with this value-added technical knowledge can move into higher supervisory or management related positions. It opens up opportunities for those who wish to switch career as surveyors or technical specialists in surveying, civil engineering, building, construction, sewerage/drainage or piling firms. The knowledge gained in this course will help participants as a stepping stone in their job advancements, and the course offers new opportunities for working in instrumentation works of foundation, tunneling or basement construction projects.
