Survey pegs are used to mark the position of a point, line or feature on the ground. They’re also known as surveyors’ pins or surveyors’ stakes in some parts of the world.
Survey pegs can be made from wood, plastic or aluminium and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They may be manufactured for individual use (for example by a surveyor) or mass-produced for an entire project (by an engineering firm).
Sometimes they have removable heads which can be attached to fence posts to mark out boundary lines between properties. Other times they might have sharp points at one end so they can pierce through soft soil without bending over time due to heavy rainfall.
Survey pegs are available in a wide range of types and materials. Steel cap pegs are used for marking out boundaries. They have a steel cap and a steel shaft, which is often painted. Steel cap pegs are also used for marking out the position of a feature in relation to a datum point.
Hardwood pegs are the most popular choice of peg because they’re durable, long-lasting and come in a range of sizes and lengths. Hardwoods include beech, oak, ash and chestnut. They also come with a variety of caps: for example, you can get them with flush or domed heads so that your survey marker sits flush against the ground without being visible from above.
As well as being made from different materials, different types of survey pegs are created to serve different purposes.
Indicator survey pegs are used as a reference point for surveyors to record their measurements. They can be inserted into the ground or placed on top of the ground depending on the type of pegs you’re working with. Indicator survey pegs have coloured markings on the top and they’re one of the most common types of survey pegs used in the industry.
Boundary survey pegs are used to mark the boundaries of a property or as part of a subdivision of land. They are placed at regular intervals along the boundary line and they can be used for land surveying, agriculture and construction projects.
Topographical survey pegs can be used to mark the location of a feature on a map. They can also be used to mark the location of a feature in the field, with elevation markings added, if necessary.
Dumpies survey pegs are a type of survey peg that is used to mark the corners of building sites. They’re used to mark an accurate position during the construction phase for installing new assets. They may be made from hardwood or steel and are usually rounded in shape.
Residential survey pegs are usually painted white and are used to mark the precise location of a residential building. They may also be used for boundary surveys.
