Certain advantages and disadvantages of applied engineering methods for measurement, along with reasons for necessity to apply more accurate geodetic survey methods are discussed. An example of optimal, according to the author of this article, geodetic technology for control over panel assembly and monitoring of panels tensioning, including relevant study, have been detailed.
