"BLUE TOP STAKING
After the contractor has completed his rough grading he needs some stakes to finish the top of the
roadway to the plans width and elevation. These stakes are called blue tops. They are 1”x1” stakes
that are driven into the roadway so their tops are at the elevations called for on the plans. The
contractor then shaves away or fills in dirt until the surface of the roadway is in line with the tops of
these stakes.
Bluetopping may be completed by either of two methods: 1) level and rod, 2) total station and data
collector. (Note: The Area Engineer will determine if project geometrics are such that the total
station and data collector may be used for vertical control. Also the Area Engineer will determine if
his/her crew is competent to do bluetopping fully utilizing the total station and data collector for
vertical control.)"

"Blue topping is a dozer or grader operator that can run grade when the wooden hub stakes are in the ground. The plastic whiskers that nail into the top of the stake are often blue."
