Engineering survey is the process used to determine the positions of objects on earth surfaces. In Engineering Survey, a combination of high precision surveying instrument and digital technology are used to gather and record data to support the planning, design and construction of engineering works. Engineering Surveys are required in every stage of a construction project from gathering and charting existing geographical information, to marking out the position or layout of land or structures for construction and the survey of constructed structures on completion of work. 

Examples of Engineering Survey are Topographical Survey and Setting-out Survey. Topographical survey is carried out to determine the positions and elevations of existing features on a plot of land. Setting-out Survey is carried out to ensure that the structure to be built is in the correct position with respect to design. 

In the ArtScience Museum Project, setting-out survey was carried out to ensure that this unique architecture with uneven and protruding surface, anchored on a round based in the middle is built in the correct position with respect to design. Our surveyors marked out the positions and field parameters on site in order for our Client to accurately construct the structure based on design. The architecture is a reminiscent of a lotus flower designed by the renowned architect Moshe Safdie.
