+rogbarn Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 A couple of days ago I found a benchmark (AA8664) in an area where construction is going on. The benchmark and the concrete it was set in was painted day-glow orange and the disk itself (picture) had "50,007" written on it in black ink. There were two stakes on either side of the disk, both painted day-glow orange and both labeled "disc. mon # 50,007" (picture here). Does this mean the disk is being discontinued? Can one of the (very helpful) pros who watch here help me interpret this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
rusty0101 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 but I think it would indicate that the disk is monumented as the 50,007th benchmark for the company emplacing it. I suspect the dayglow paint was an effort to keep the construction crews from destroying it, as well as an aid to the survey crew re-locating it at later phases of the construction. Then again, I could be wrong. -Rusty Quote Link to comment
survey tech Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 The number is simply a randomly assigned point number with no special significance and the paint is, as Rusty said, just to make the point easy to spot. Quote Link to comment
