remain in serviceable condition for up to 3 years.
The location of the monuments shall be chos en to offer both convenience to the project and
protection for t he monument. Base line monuments will be used to establish the location of the
centre-line of the entire project. Benchmarks for elevation control shall be located on the most
permanent and stable base convenient to the site. Horizontal and vertical control monuments shall
be placed at intervals of not more than 500m or as directed by the COMPA NY.

project.
The CONTRA CTOR shall tie-in to a sufficient number of primary geodetic control points required to
meet positioning tolerances and ensure consistency within the geodetic network. The
CONTRA CTOR shall devise the appropriate network plan, and shall utilise existing national survey
stations. Values for existing national control stations shall be obtained by the CONTRA CTOR. At
least three horizontal and three vertical geodetic control point ties shall be made t o first or second
order national survey stations from primary control stations.
Sufficient baseli nes shall be independently measured to ensure that all new control stations are
established as an over-determined solution.
The CONTRA CTOR shall liaise with COMPA NY as to existing monuments that may be available.
All existing local horizontal and vertical control station descriptions shall be included in the final
report. Station markers shall be made clearly visible and able to be located by any third party using
the station description sheet.
6.8 Secondary Control
Secondary net work stations shall be established as required to complete the field survey work.
Such stations shall be tied into the primary network and full station descriptions (including witness
marks) provided to the COMPANY.
