Coordinate Marking Accuracy – Brought to you in opart by PointSpotter and Stakemill – order here
Many land surveyors are comfortable with a sharp, “accurate” tip on the end of the survey rod, and some new surveyors may not even be familiar with other types of shoes or blunt tips.
Occasionally, the accuracy of the 1″ diameter PointSpotter paint spot comes into question.
Keep in mind that the natural movement of land surfaces often exceeds the diameter of any survey marker.
Soil and Pavement are Dynamic
They are constantly moving, usually in small amounts, because of:
Expansion and Contraction due to MOISTURE CONTENT
Some more expansive soils are so active, structures on them require some form of isolation from soil expansion.
During low rainfall, contractive forces are so great that large ground cracks will form, some wider than the survey marker.
Expansion and Contraction due to TEMPERATURE
Temperature affects pavement dimensions, thus requiring slotted, periodic expansion gaps to prevent stress and strain.
Expansion and Contraction due to VEGETATION DENSITY
The roots of plants and trees expand and shift surrounding ground, and also influence the soil moisture content.
Movement due to EROSION
Water and ice will cause entire acres of land to shift or slide, often unnoticed.
Rise and Fall due to GRAVITY
“Solid-body tides” (ground tides) caused by the Moon and Sun displace the ground almost one foot vertically, twice each day.
It is common to forget about types of terrain outside of your surveying experience.
Remember that there are paved cities, swamps, glaciers, deserts, tropics, plains, mountains, seabeds, and caves… all of them surveyed, and all of them in continual movement.

Florida Surveyors and Engineers – Are you shopping for Field Supplies?
Florida Surveyors and Engineers – Are you shopping for Field Supplies?
Stakemill has been getting numerous calls from Florida users of marking paint, roll flagging, wire pins, field journals, surveyor stencils and scales along with all the other daily needs for stake out work. Stakemill has always offered these items and we do at a better price, so much we have prepared a price comparison for you to see just how much we can save you over Altoona or Ft Lauderdale. We hear the feedback from you the customer about how satisfied you are with our prices and fast friendly service, all we ask is that you now consider us for your precision measuring instruments. We may be smaller in size than the others that were too big to fail but our smaller size allows us to sell for lower prices, act quicker in your time of need and always allow you the ability to speak with me the owner.

Has Your Supplier Become A Dot Com? Stakemill Still Offers Services
Has Your Supplier Become A Dot Com? Stakemill Still Offers Services
Recently in Florida two land survey and construction equipment suppliers have significantly reduced the number of sales employees and added web masters to focus on selling online. We think that is like basing your business on todays number one song or fashion, it will definitely be out of style tomorrow. Being the one that grew the business from a one man operation into what it is today separates Stakemill from these other suppliers as they have been handed the business and do not know the customers wants, needs or even their faces.
Stakemill has always offered manufacturer workshops and demo clinics at our largo facility. For our customers that purchase a new rotary laser, auto level, theodolite, range finder, total station or GPS we can schedule a clinic for you to show you how to use these new tools at our Largo facility. Simply check our website for the current schedule or when purchasing your unit get registered for the next clinic.
Our vendors are the ones that can tell you Stakemill went from no accessory sales to being one of the biggest in possibly the worse economic time, from 2007 to 2012. While the others were all relying on what happened in the past Stakemill set out to chart new paths in sales of supplies and GPS units, that has allowed us to pass the others up. Now in 2012 when everyone is going to online sales only Stakemill can see the new course is to service what you sell and to offer support, something a webmaster, a banker or a son who inherits a business can not offer thier customers.
