Engineering and Design SURVEY MARKERS AND MONUMENTATION

1. Purpose. This manual establishes criteria and presents guidance on monumentation installation and documentation for all types of surveys required during the various stages of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil and military projects. The manual is intended to be a guide; however, when the standard Corps monuments are used, they shall be selected and constructed as defined in this manual.

2. Applicability. This manual applies to all USACE commands having responsibility for the planning, engineering and design, construction, operation, maintenance, and related real estate and regulatory functions of civil works, military construction, and environmental restoration projects. It applies to survey performance by both hired-labor forces and contracted survey forces. It is also applicable to surveys performed or procured by local interest groups under various cooperative or cost-sharing agreements.

3. Distribution. This publication is approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

4. Discussion. Stable monuments are required for both horizontal and vertical control. Monuments and their stability are integral parts of the accuracy of each survey project. Inaccurate survey control monumentation can contribute to costly errors in all phases of project design and development. It is important to have stable monumentation throughout design, construction, and subsequent maintenance of each Corps project.
