Conditions :

1. The "Stake-out" usually occurs the day of or the day before holes are drilled. Immediate drilling increases the probability that children will not remove stakes/staubs or play/fall in marked area. Likewise, for safety reasons, drilled holes must be filled immediately with specified poles and secured.

2. The "Stake-out" can be done as soon as:
   • The designated area has been prepared (e.g., old equipment has been removed, area low spots have been graded level, etc.);
   • Poles for holes are on site, and cut and labeled for each structure;
   • A hole digging machine has been secured for a specified day.

3. The "Stake-out" process takes about 3 hours. Two crews will be needed to assist designer; one will drive stakes. One from this crew must be present the day holes are drilled and poles are installed to monitor process.

1. 110 (104 holes total) -1/2"x1"x 8" to 12" long pointed wood stakes (surveyor staubs OK).
