Kentucky Site Survey Of Energy Projects

By Melissa Morgan


Land surveying refers to the job of a surveyor who helps to locate a piece of land with the aid of science and technology. It is about finding the three-dimensional positioning of the land and other details related to it. Kentucky site survey and land surveying eventually helps to point out the location of terrains or sort out the boundaries.

The majority, if not all, of site surveying, is non-intrusive. Despite that, you might need to submit a risk assessment and method statement. Any specific works requiring means of access, shutting down the Air Handling Unit (AHU), the shutdown of heating or fitting an electric CT meter on a chiller will all require a separate risk assessment and method statement.

Field Work - We all know that this involves being outside taking actual measurements. Field work often includes very active, laborious work. Surveying requires extended periods of time on your feet, climbing obstacles with heavy equipment. Weather conditions are often a challenge in the field. Surveyors work in hot, cold, windy and rainy weather.

Calculating - to calculate different objectives involved in surveying these professionals must use their detective skills. Surveyors look at data from history, the present and make educated predictions to help in making calculations. In calculating it is also important that they decide the best use of technology to complete the field work from their calculations and data from land deeds and preceding surveys.

Always carry on a bottle of water with you, specifically in heating plant rooms, service ducts and energy centers. Keep yourself hydrated by sipping water every fifteen minutes. Wear work clothes with long sleeves where possible. Never attend an energy audit without safety boots as a minimum. I also suggest having your pass hanging on your neck and a high visibility vest, as you will be walking around taking notes and photos.

What is Site surveying? Land surveying follows the method of observing and studying the characteristics of the place and not only identifying it but also recording the details. The survey refers to the studying of a particular site in details for planning and designing for future use. It also means understanding the cultural landscapes and also it's the bio-facts.

The best thing is for energy consultants to work in pairs, but sometimes this is not practical. In this case, always maintain contact via a text message, say every hour, and always know where your partner is. Do not go into service ducts on your own. Always have someone with you.

Whether you consider the land surveying, the process follows the area's in-depth introspection for further designing and planning. It is important to determine the need for which a land examination is to be undertaken. Surveys are crucial when buying a property, undertaking a construction or even in asset appraisals. When in need of any form of surveying, take the above insights into consideration.
