Steel Erection Surveyor (Merritt Island)

The Steel Erection Surveyor is responsible for establishing and verifying project control, anchor bolt locations, foundation elevations, and structural steel layout, ensuring columns are accurately positioned, leveled, and plumbed within applicable AISC tolerances. He/she will document as-built conditions, identify and coordinate corrections for out-of-tolerance conditions, and provide survey records and quality documentation supporting the project’s QC and quality management program.

• Provide a written as-built survey of anchor rods and concrete elevations

During Erection

• Set and check column plumbness within AISC Code of Standard Practice tolerances (generally 1:500)

• Plumb columns after iron says they are ready to plumb
• Plumb with shims or rigging
• Document any out-of-tolerance conditions

Quality / Documentation
