This online continuing education course provides surveyors and engineering professionals with practical insights into construction surveying through real-world examples and field demonstrations. Led by industry professional Zach Frye, Survey Manager at J.E. Construction Services, the course bridges the gap between traditional surveying knowledge and construction industry applications using the Everhart Road rehabilitation project in Corpus Christi, Texas. In this course, you will explore the unique safety challenges and quality control responsibilities that distinguish construction surveying from other specializations, learn to navigate and interpret extensive construction plan sets, understand horizontal and vertical control verification processes, and observe modern staking procedures and machine control technologies in active field conditions. The course emphasizes how surveyors serve as the key link between design intent and construction reality, covering everything from initial control point verification through final grade achievement using both traditional methods and cutting-edge robotic total station and GPS technologies. Throughout the course you will gain valuable perspective on the surveyor's evolving role in today's technology-enhanced construction environment.
