Survey work in Belgium #23 (pics)
A while back in april 2010 I posted about staking axes for the roads in a new subdivision in Heestert.
Survey work in Belgium #12
Last month I returned to the site to check the as-built we received from the contractor.
A view at the storm water detention pond.
part of the ditch has now bank reinforcement.11 lots (from 34) are sold already, so yesterday I returned for some staking.
It’s solo work, my colleague Jan drives our full equipped survey van, so I installed my car with a the minimalistic survey tools.For the cornerstones we use French Feno-poles, they have a concrete top and a spike with anchor prongs.
Had to be a little inventive for the last cornerstone, the utility pole was slightly in the line of sight …
We place an additional survey spike in the gutter in the extended lot line.
Some remainders of the Great Wars,
These are today’s pictures from another subdivision at Passendale near Ypres, well known for the “Battle of Passchendaele” one of the major battles of WWI here in Flanders where the British, French, Belgians, Australians, Canadians, Indians, New Zealanders and South Africans fought side by side.
