  4. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • PROBLEMS WITH MONUMENTS – A REASON WHY WE ARE CONCERNED • Right-of-Way Ownership is long term (>30 yrs or more in many project areas between surveys) • Surveyors continuously need to access monuments (365 days) • Maintenance issues with digging up road to find monuments • Traffic safety issues for surveys in roadways are related to amount of exposure of surveyors to traffic • State Statutes require all existing monuments be protected • Your job won’t close out if monumentation work is incomplete • Appearances to public that we haven't done our job right • THE FOLLOWING SLIDES DEMONSTRATE PROBLEMS

  5. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovering a monument that was paved over. • No monument box has been installed

  6. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovering a buried monument

  7. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovered monument • NO MONUMENT CASE

  8. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovered monument • NO MONUMENT CASE • Monument has not been raised • Monument is approximately 12” below grade • Increases crew time in road digging up the monument • Increase crew time in the road tying monument

  9. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovered Monument (originally set in 1919) • Monument had no case • Monument becomes unreadable from repeated excavations

  10. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Recovered monument in a case • Monument had to be excavated • Monument should have been raised • Resulting hole in road surface has to be patched • Monument would have to be dug up by the next surveyor

  12. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • Rebars with or without caps, in no monument boxes • Typically require referencing and replacing in box • If unfound in pre-construction survey, cause havoc to milling machines • Some “booklet” and “gravel to black” projects require construction surveyor to find any existing monuments & reference and replace them

  13. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • An example of a well set monument • This is a monument and box that was raised on the Seward Highway

  14. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • An example of a well set monument case • The only issue here is the top of the box is below grade • The recessed monument case allows for the pooling of water and ice • MONUMENTS LIKE THIS MAKES US LOOK GOOD!!

  15. Construction Spring Training 2004 Surveying and Monuments • How can we help you enforce the surveying requirements? • Ask your contractor’s surveyor to request a pre-work meeting with Central Region Survey Department • Call out Central Region Surveyor to help you inspect survey work • Call, e-mail or fax survey questions to CR Survey Section • Call 1-800-survey-gone-bad (humor)
