SP 126.13330.2017 PDF

Full title and description

СП 126.13330.2017 — "Геодезические работы в строительстве" (SP 126.13330.2017 — "Geodetic works in construction"). The document is a свод правил (SP) that sets technical requirements and procedures for performing geodetic and survey works across the life cycle of construction projects; it is published with Amendments No.1 and No.2.

Abstract

SP 126.13330.2017 establishes requirements for organization and execution of geodetic (survey) works in construction — including establishment and maintenance of control networks, executive and control surveys, deformation and monitoring measurements, accuracy control of erected structures, and procedures for surveying during construction, reconstruction, operation and demolition. Recent amendments update the document to reflect use of information modelling (BIM), UAV photogrammetry, and laser scanning technologies.

Scope

Applies to planning and execution of geodetic works for buildings and engineering structures during design, construction, reconstruction, capital repair, operation (including inspection) and demolition; covers setting out, establishment and verification of control networks, executive (as-built) surveys, deformation and stability monitoring, accuracy control of geometric parameters of constructed elements, and requirements for instruments and data processing workflows. The scope has been extended by amendments to include guidance on application of BIM (information modelling), use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS/UAV) for remote monitoring, airborne and terrestrial laser scanning, and creation/processing of point clouds and orthophoto products for geodetic control.

Key topics and requirements

• Requirements for establishing, transferring and maintaining geodetic control networks on construction sites.
• Accuracy classes and tolerance limits for setting out and as-built (executive) surveys.
• Procedures for deformation monitoring and criteria for assessment of structural movements.
• Methods and rules for control measurements during erection of structural elements and for verification of geometric parameters.
• Specifications for instruments and measurement technologies (GNSS/GPS, total stations, optical leveling, terrestrial laser scanning, airborne LIDAR, UAV photogrammetry).
• Data processing, reporting requirements, and integration with information modelling (BIM) workflows.
• Requirements for survey documentation, records, and quality control of geodetic works.

These topics reflect both the original provisions of the SP and the amendments that introduce provisions for modern remote sensing and BIM-based workflows.

Typical use and users

Used by geodetic/survey teams, licensed survey organizations, construction contractors, design institutes, site engineers, project managers, and regulatory/inspection authorities to plan, perform and verify survey works and monitoring at construction sites. Also used by BIM coordinators and remote sensing specialists when aligning geodetic outputs with information modelling and monitoring processes.

Related standards

Directly linked with historical СНиП 3.01.03-84 (the earlier SNiP on geodetic works) and forms part of the Russian SP series and national regulatory framework for construction surveying. It is also used alongside relevant GOSTs and other SPs/GOSTs governing metrology, spatial reference systems, and construction quality control.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SP 126.13330.2017 is the Russian свод правил (SP) that specifies requirements and procedures for geodetic works in construction, including control networks, setting out, as-built surveys and monitoring.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers planning and execution of geodetic works at all stages of a building's life cycle (design, construction, reconstruction, operation, demolition), accuracy and tolerance classes, monitoring of deformations, instrumentation and data processing, and — following amendments — guidance on UAVs, laser scanning and BIM integration.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Surveyors, geodetic and engineering teams, construction contractors, designers, BIM coordinators, monitoring specialists, and regulatory/inspection bodies in the Russian construction sector.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The SP is current and has been updated: Amendment No.1 was published in December 2022 and Amendment No.2 in December 2024; users should apply the base SP together with these amendments.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is issued as an SP (свод правил) and is associated with the SP/GOST regulatory framework for construction; it also complements historical СНиП documents (notably СНиП 3.01.03-84) and related GOST/technical regulations for surveying and metrology.
