Einsätze

English translation: surveying/setting out sessions

09:43 Jul 12, 2008
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Surveying
German term or phrase: Einsätze
"mit maximal zwei Einsätzen und Angabe von mindestens 2 Höhenfestpunkten pro Ebene ..."

"Absteckung von maximal 10 Achsen pro Ebene in jeweils maximal zwei Einsätzen"

"Absteckung von 5 Achsen und Übergabe von 5 bis 7 Höhenpunkten in circa 4 Einsätzen"

In a text related to building survey, whereby the term “Einsätzen” is being repeated. What could “Einsätzen” possibly stand for in this context?

Awaiting your precious inputs

with best regards

English translation:surveying/setting out sessions
Explanation:
Assuming this a definition of a surveying/setting out service offered by a surveying company, I think Einsätzen is short for Messeinsätzen. Hence it probably refers to a single survey/ setting out session of a survey team going to the site. I would expect Einsatz to be defined elsewhere in the document, e.g. per call-out, per day, per task, per visit to site etc. This 'best guess' is based on a happy year surveying and setting out.

Notes to answerer
Asker: After checking out with the client, it emerged that "Einsätzen" indeed meant "surveying/setting out sessions", at least, in this context.
