1. Site and Highway Staking with Trimble SCS900

2. 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 (SPSx81)
Robotic Total Station (SPSx30)
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

6. 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

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

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

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

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

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

12. 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
