Placement Action — Survey Evidence for Sports
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
What Verification Evidence Proves
Verification evidence should answer the acceptance question asked. Elevation measurements establish geometry; material records and relevant tests address layer condition. Neither should be silently substituted for the other.
Before moving material
Define the checks needed for the finished purpose.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over accepted areas and clearly identify exceptions. Check that the evidence concerns the same layer and work zone.
An instrument display is not a complete acceptance record.

Surveying for grading establishes the relationship between the site and the intended surface. Machine guidance can assist work, but the survey determines the reference against which results are checked.
Before moving material
Define the survey area, control and required deliverables.
Receiving operation and checks
Use the survey to prepare the design and later acceptance checks. Retain the datum, units and control-point descriptions.
A topographic survey and a legal boundary survey serve different purposes.

An existing-surface survey records what is present before soil moves. Omitting a drain edge, bank or abrupt grade change can distort the volume model even when point readings are correct.
Before moving material
Identify the work extent and important surface features.
Receiving operation and checks
Compare the surveyed surface with the proposed design. Inspect coverage and gaps rather than relying only on a coloured map.
Survey spacing must reflect terrain and required precision, not a universal grid size.

Use this checklist to turn the scenario into a specific brief. Retain the design revision and agree who accepts each completed layer.
Checklist ticks apply only while this page is open. Include the completed brief in your project records.
