C-7.5 Horizontal Datum: Engineering site plan drawings are normally referenced to a local state plane coordinate system (SPCS), in rare cases Engineering Surveys may be referenced to an arbitrary coordinate system relative to some point on the project – a monument, corner, road intersection, etc. While Real Estate Records of Survey are often on a local coordinates system as previously described, for this contract to the greatest extent possible use SPCS coordinates for Real Estate surveys. Most project control will consist of SPCS coordinates in an appropriate National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) as defined by the National Geodetic Survey. Individual Task Orders and will indicate when a superseded NSRS or local coordinate system should be used. If the Task Order lacks specific guidance use the current NGS datum. Where applicable provide the Datum, Datum Realization and epoch information (i.e. NAD 83 (2011) epoch 2010.00) for the coordinates used

C-7.6 Vertical Datum: A vertical reference system is a geopotential surface that define elevations and depths. EM 1110-2-6056 listed above requires that all project elevations be referenced to the current NGS nationwide NSRS vertical reference system. The elevation system used for the survey may be the current NSRS, A superseded NSRS system, a site specific project datum, a Tidal System, an Adopted Low Water System (Columbia River Datum) or an arbitrary local system. A datum equation to convert the elevation to Current NSRS system must be provided regardless of the elevation system used. All projects that required elevations shall have at least one NGS control point with a NSRS elevation. Provide the NGS’ point identification (PID) and NGS listed elevation of this primary control point.

C-7.7 Accuracy Primary control will consist of established USACE or National Geodetic Survey (NGS) monuments with published 2nd Order, Class II or better accuracies unless otherwise authorized. Verify by re-observation all USACE Primary Control points and all NGS Second Order Class II points used. Consider verifying coordinate position by re-observing all Primary Control points, minimum accuracy for any required secondary site control supporting the collection of three-dimensional data is Third Order, Class I or better accuracies unless otherwise authorized. Link all secondary control to at least one Primary Control point.

C-7.8 Monumentation Use marks that are set in the most stable and permanent material available (Bedrock, if possible). The monument shall not be set in areas subject vertical motion or to erosion by wind and waves. Consider locations that reduce susceptibility to motion. To guard against frost, heave the monument shall extend at least 1.0 feet below the frost line. The face of the benchmark shall be set horizontally for convenience in plumbing the rod. To the greatest extent possible consider using existing National Geodetic Survey or USACE marks. A witness post will be either present or set in a prudent location which will serve as a reference to the control monument. The goal is to Leave behind accurate and stable control points that will support both this survey and future activities. EM 1110-1-1002 listed above provides details for the placing of survey marks. The COR will provide monument naming information for new and reset marks. For permanent Monuments (monuments meant to last two or more years) create a USACE Survey Monument Archival & Retrieval Tool (U-SMART) data submission sheet. See the following for a link to U-SMART: http://usmart.usace.army.mil Guidance for preparing U-Smart data sheets can be found in USACE Engineering Regulation ER 1110-1-8170.

C-9.1 CONTROL SURVEYS. Control survey work consist of determining National Spatial Reference (NSRS) Coordinate Values (Latitude, Longitude, Ellipsoid Height, and Orthometric Elevation) of the marks that form the backbone of all subsequent surveys. The goal of Control Surveys is to obtain NSRS values that are Accurate (Close to the True Value), Precise (repeatable) and as economically as possible. It is understood that no measurement is without error (Inaccuracy), control survey’s aim to minimize these errors by providing redundant measurements that catch mistakes and allow for a measurement adjustment. Typical instrumentation includes Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Total stations and Digital bar-code levels. EM 1110-1-1005 and EM 1110-1-1003 listed above details the requirements of Control Surveys. This guidance maybe supplemented by National Geodetic Survey publications.

Each Structure has a detailed list of instructions which must be followed to the greatest extent possible in order to mimic historic survey of the structure thus insuring repeatable results. Data is collected using High Order Total Station, Dual frequency GNSS and/or Digital Bar-Code levels. Data reduction for these surveys is usually done by USACE personnel. EM 1110-2-1009 listed above details the requirements of Deformation Surveys.

The following additional products may be required from Deformation Surveys:

a. Raw Measurements from GNSS, Total Station and/or Digital Level.

b. Calibration data for instruments used.

C-10 SECONDARY SURVEYING SERVICES

C-10.1 Aerial Surveys. With Aerial Surveys it is possible to carry out topographic surveys of the same quality as the surveys using ground collected methods, but in a fraction of the time. This substantially reduces the cost of a site survey and the workload of specialists in the field. EM 1110-1-1000 listed above details the requirements of Aerial Surveys.

Photo Control surveys support Aerial Mappings by placing photo targets and establishing the three-dimensional positions of the target. Unless otherwise indicated, photo control points or paneled points may use temporary marks as defined in EM 1110-1-1002 listed above.

In addition to topographic mapping, the following Aerial Survey data products maybe requested:

a. Digital Ortho-photos.

b. Aerial photo processing.

c. Generation and/or scanning of vector drawings from photos and raster files.

d. Geographic Information Services (GIS) including digital file translations to alternate formats.

e. Classified Point Clouds, Bare Earth models.

C-10.2 Hydrography/Hydraulic Survey/Hydrographic Survey. These surveys involve collection of three-dimensional data for obtaining transects and topographic data of lakes, stream and ponds. Hydraulic survey tasks may require any combination of shallow draft hydrographic survey and conventional land survey techniques. When water is shallow and can be waded, traditional topographic survey methods are used. (Consider using an attached bottom plate as necessary to prevent the rod from penetrating silt and mud.) When water is deeper or too swift for wading, various hydrographic survey methods described in EM1110-2-1003 listed above may be used. These may include unmanned vessels, small manned workboats with sounding poles or lead lines, or specialized hydrographic survey vessels with echo sounders, either single (vertical-beam) or multi-beam transducers. When multiple survey approaches or platforms are employed, the data collected shall be referenced to a common horizontal coordinate system and vertical datum as specified in the task order’s statement of work. Adjacent areas of different survey type shall be collected with sufficient data overlap to achieve a seamless transition.

In addition to topographic mapping, the following Hydro Survey data products maybe requested:

a. Coordinate point file (x, y, z).

b. Calibration data (Bar Check etc.).

c. River/Stage gages used.

d. Location of Aids to Navigation.

e. Cross Section/Transect Surveys for hydrological studies and projects EM format may be requested.

f. Four digital photographs shall be taken at each cross-section/Transect location.

g. Shoreline data.

C-10.3 Terrestrial Laser Scanning. Is often used as a dense and rapid form of Topographic Surveying. Other uses involve 3-D documentation and/or modeling of buildings and structures. These instruments are especially suited to collect hard to access sites. EM 1110-1-1005 provides USACE guidance on this type of survey, the contractor should supplement this guidance with Industry standards. In addition to topographic mapping, the following Terrestrial Laser Scanning data products maybe requested:

a. Classified Point Cloud in industry standard format.

b. Surveys of Interior spaces which are to be incorporated into either a Project As Built or a Building Information Model (BIM).

C-10.4 Mobile Mapping. Mobile Mapping systems often combine Terrestrial Laser Scanning, and/or Terrestrial Photogrammetry with GNSS and Inertial Measurement Units to produce Topographic Maps of large area very rapidly. Currently USACE does not have an EM that covers this type of survey. EM 1110-1-1000, Third Party and Industry standards most likely will provide guidance until USACE incorporates guidance for these surveys into an EM. Dam Crest and Jetty mapping are possible application for this type of survey.

In addition to topographic mapping, the following mobile mapping data products maybe requested:

a. Classified Point Cloud in industry standard format.

b. Georeferenced Photographs/Ortho photos.

C-10.5 Subsurface Utility Engineering Surveys Utility Surveys locate, measure and depict surface and subsurface utilities and their related structures, these structures include water, sanitary sewer, drainage, electrical, liquid and gas fuels, communication (copper and fiber-optics), telephone, cable television, street lights, central heating, cathodic protection and etc. The utility locating survey must use the most appropriate equipment and technology to identify all underground utilities, both known and unknown, and active and abandoned. Specifically, use geophysical techniques appropriate for the conditions present in the Project Area such as multi-frequency pipe and cable locators, single channel ground penetrating radar, SPAR utility and pipeline locator, magnetic gradiometer, and when necessary, acoustic methods

Buried Utility may not always fall in the public right-of-way, and as such may not be covered under the One Call 811 free locate service. The utility surveyed area must extend at least three feet beyond the border of the intended (or active) area of interest. Potholing of the utilities maybe required. Guidance for these surveys are provided by EM 1110-1-1005, and EM 1110-1-1802 listed above.
