Setout for roads, drainage and kerb
Road and drainage setout is detailed work where small errors are visible forever. We set out drainage alignments, pit positions and invert levels, kerb and barrier lines and linemarking on Castlemaine projects, working from the design model rather than scaled plans. Marks go in where the crew building the element can use them, at intervals that suit the method, and are re-established without fuss when construction removes them. Levels carry from validated site control so the whole road package stays consistent end to end.
Placed where the crew can use them.
Machine files, conformance and volumes
We prepare GPS machine control files from the civil design, run localisations and set up Trimble, Topcon and Leica systems, then verify trimmed surfaces against design so grading holds accuracy. Fill layer pickups feed conformance reporting that shows each layer against tolerance, and cut, fill and stockpile volumes are surveyed for progress claims. Delivered together on a Castlemaine job, that combination keeps machines productive, layers compliant and quantities defensible, with quotes and queries answered within two days.
Compliant layers, defensible quantities.

FAQs
Civil Surveying Castlemaine surveying questions
A 3D surface built from the civil design and loaded into the machine's guidance system, so the operator grades to design without waiting on stakes.
Yes. Alignments, pit positions and invert levels are set out from the design model and checked as pipe is laid.
Placed fill and pavement layers surveyed and compared against design levels and specification, with anything outside tolerance identified while it can still be corrected.
Yes. Castlemaine is part of our core service area, with a guaranteed site visit within 10 days and a reply to quotes and queries within two.
