Survey Teams for Contractors in Saudi Arabia: Setting Out, Levels and Site Follow-up
On large projects, work is often held up because a surveyor is not available at the right time: setting out waits, levels need checking before a pour, and an invoice waits for a survey. EL EMAN provides survey teams to contractors in the Kingdom, with experience gained on national projects and with major contractors in Egypt.
What the teams do on site
Teams work under the contractor’s direction and with the site engineer, covering the project’s day-to-day survey work.
- Setting out grid lines, columns and footings for buildings and structures
- Checking levels during excavation, fill and concrete pours
- Setting out road and utility alignments and sections
- Grid surveys and quantities to support payment certificates
- As-built surveys before handover
Team experience
The office’s teams and founder have worked on a wide range of projects: the Saint Catherine and Nuweiba substations with Kharafi National, the Al-Fustat Gardens development, the Mostakbal Misr sustainable development project, 220 kV lines for the high-speed rail traction substations and the Decent Life initiative, as well as El Dabaa port and Wadi El Qamar bridge with El Gharably Integrated Engineering.
Equipment
Teams work with GNSS RTK receivers, total stations and levels, or with the contractor’s instruments where that suits the project, and deliver data on KSA-GRF17 and the site’s UTM zone.
Contracts and procedures
Before starting we agree with the contractor on team size, duration and scope, and we arrange the required contracts, visas and residency in line with the Kingdom’s regulations. All of this is set out in a written proposal before signing.

Do teams bring their own instruments?
Teams can work with their own GNSS and total stations or with the contractor’s instruments, as agreed in the contract.
What kind of projects do the teams work on?
Roads and utilities, residential and commercial buildings, industrial facilities, substations and port works.
