Traverse surveying is a foundational technique in the field of construction and engineering, the main purpose of traverse surveying is measuring and mapping the land. This surveying method is instrumental in creating accurate maps, planning construction projects, and even in the legal definition of land boundaries. Its application is vast, touching various aspects of engineering and construction management. This week's AKN Engineering blog post aims to guide project managers, engineers, and students through the fundamental steps of traverse surveying, ensuring a solid foundation for anyone looking to apply these principles in the field.

Welcome back to the AKN Engineering blog, where we unravel the intricacies of site engineering services. In this edition, we've compiled a comprehensive set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to support our wider network in understanding more about what we do and why we do it. This may be a helpful guide if you are in the construction industry, perhaps you are a trainee site engineer, a project manager, a contracts manager, or even a supply chain manager. 

Let's explore the world of site engineering and address your queries…

It all begins with an idea.In the realm of civil engineering, Piles are essential for transferring the loads from buildings and other structures down to a competent bearing stratum where the load can be safely accommodated, with a reliable factor of safety. 

In the construction industry, where every day brings new challenges and triumphs, the humble construction site diary stands as a silent sentinel, capturing the essence of progress, setbacks, and everything in between. In this week's AKN Engineering blog post, we delve into why construction site diaries are indispensable tools, exploring their purpose, key elements, best practices, and the evolving landscape of digital versus paper diaries.

Site engineers bring their technical proficiency to the forefront by conducting comprehensive site assessments. They meticulously analyse soil conditions, topography, and other pertinent factors to devise effective groundworks strategies. By leveraging their expertise, site engineers help in the formulation of detailed plans that address the unique requirements of each project, laying the groundwork for a solid and reliable construction process.
