After the site is prepped Somebody comes out and puts in stakes in the appropriate places. I think they then verify the exact location with surveyors before the bit bites the soil. Given the amount of driving around with big and small vehicles I don't think they even put the stakes in until the rig is in place.

Definitely UC, watched them pouring a pier today.
