Piling setting out
Pile positions set out to tolerance ahead of the rig, then surveyed as built with cut-off levels and offsets reported, so the engineer can sign off pile caps with confidence.
Piles in the right place
Misplaced piles mean redesigned caps, extra piles and delay. We set out vertical and raking pile positions and cut-off levels from your layout using robotic total stations and the site control, marking them in sequence ahead of the rig and re-marking any that the piling platform disturbs.
As-built pile surveys
Once piles are installed, we survey their actual positions and cut-off levels and report the offsets against design. The engineer gets a clear schedule and drawing to check pile caps and ground beams before the substructure starts.

We also set out UXO probe positions ahead of piling on brownfield sites, and run vibration monitoring where piling is close to neighbouring buildings.
How it works
Pile layout
Send the pile layout in DWG with coordinates or the site grid.
Set out ahead of the rig
Positions are marked in sequence, and re-marked where the piling platform disturbs them.
As-built survey
Completed piles are surveyed for position and level, with offsets reported against design.
Who we work with
Piling contractors
Positions marked when and where the rig needs them.
Structural engineers
As-built offsets to check pile caps and ground beams.
Main contractors
Independent records of pile positions before the substructure.

We was looking for a local company to survey our setting out on our new build project and came across THS, We are VERY happy with the service they provided, Tom visited the site and was very helpful and professional. providing a detailed description and was very thorough. we will defiantly be using THS in the near future.
★★★★★
I was impressed by THS Concepts topographical survey services' professionalism and accuracy. They were efficient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
We recently approached THS Concepts to carry out a level survey of the screed to the ground floor of a large residential property we were Project Managing. The property was undergoing extensions and refurbishment work. We had a tight timescale to receive the information, and THS Concepts delivered quickly and efficiently to meet our deadline. This is the second time we have used them and would highly recommend.
Piling setting out: common questions
What tolerance can you achieve?
Pile positions are set out to well within the typical 75mm piling tolerance. The as-built survey reports the actual offset of every pile so the engineer can check it.
Do you survey piles as built?
Yes. As-built positions and cut-off levels are surveyed and issued as a schedule and drawing, usually soon after each section of piling is complete.
Can you work alongside vibration monitoring?
Yes. Where piling is close to neighbours, we often run vibration monitoring on the same site.
