International audienceThe SPIRAL2 project located at the GANIL facility (Caen, France) has been studied since the beginning of 2003, and is now under construction. This project aims at delivering rare (radioactive) isotope beams with intensities not yet available with presently running machines. An important aspect of this project is that it is foreseen to deliver up to five different beams in parallel to the users. This paper is a status report on the survey and alignment techniques selected for installation of the SPIRAL2 accelerator device
