Description

Jason wraps up his reading of the Field Engineering Methods Manual, covering math formulas, chaining corrections for accurate measurements, sticks and strings for batter boards, construction control methods, and Professor Crawford's closing field observations on double checking your work.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why cloth tape measures often throw off distance measurements
• How to properly set up batter boards and strings for anchor bolts
• Why control layout should be checked with strings, not just a total station
• Where to find construction control methods for nearly any building element
• Why stepping back to question your own layout work prevents costly errors

Do you double check your layout work, or trust it the first time?
