Comment on How are roundabouts made?
Ziggurat@jlai.lu 1 year ago
Have you seen these people with a weird tripod on construction sites ? They’re surveyor and have tools allowing them to do very precise measure (A guy told me that one of the coolest things he has done was to make sure railway track were aligned below 1mm on both side of 2 km bridge to build) I would expect that drawing a circle isn’t that complicated.
Then the rest is usual road construction, add temporary marking, close the road, do the measurement and build the roundabout

The tripods only measure height though? Or are there newer fancier ones around nowadays?

The tripods they look through have always allowed them to measure things in a way that results in elevation, distance, and some other stuff too.
