This document discusses several types of setting out works including: 1. Setting out a foundation plan using a center line plan and batter boards. Batter boards are used to accurately transfer the center line onto the work site. 2. Setting out a sewer line by fixing stakes along the proposed center line and excavating the trench to the desired width and depth. Cross heads and sight rails are also used to maintain proper gradient and alignment. 3. Setting out a culvert involves marking points along the center lines X1 and Y1 based on given distances from the origin point O. Pegs are placed at the intersection of the points using two tapes held at equal distances between assistants. The culvert is then set

7. Setting out Sewer
Procedure
Fix stakes on the ground at the centre
line of the proposed sewer at 20m
intervals.
Set out a parallel line to the proposed
centre line of the sewer on one side at a
distance apart so that it may not get
disturbed during excavation.
Excavate the sewer trench of desired
width and depth
Erect cross heads at 30 m apart and
each change of gradient and direction.
Set the top edge of each sight rail truly
horizontal with the help of a spirit level.
Drive in a nail on the top edge at the
centre of the sight rail to define the
centre line of the sewer.

Culvert?????

of Culvert

10. The axis (centre line)
XX1 and YY1 are set out
with O is the origin.
Along the line OX1,
points 1,2,3 and 4 are
marked at distance
x1,x2,x3 and x4 from
origin.
Now along OY, points
1’,2’,3’ and 4’ are marked
at distances y1,y2,y3 and
y4 from O.
Now two tapes are taken with their zero ends together and held at
P1 by the overseer in such a way that when two assistants hold
them fully stretched at 1 and 1’, the readings are exactly equal to
y1 and x1 (i.e. P1 1 = y1 and P1 1’ = x1). Then the point P1 is
marked with a stout peg.
Similarly the other pegs are fixed at P1,P2,P3 and P4. The pegs for
the right half are fixed according to the data available from the
table prepared for the left half. The culvert is symmetrically about
