MARKING OUT THE SITEMARKING OUT THE SITEOnce the topsoil has been removed (and levels reduced if necessary), the foundation can be set-out by surveyors or engineers. The graphic on the left shows the foundation plan superimposed over the site.
The line of the foundations can be highlighted using hydrated lime - here the trench centre line is being marked. On some sites you will find both sides of the trench marked. Digger buckets are available in various widths to suit specific trenches.
