How surveying played a critical role in the rescue of nine miners in the Quecreek mine.
Long, who works for Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering Inc. (CME) in Somerset, Pa., was hired on as an engineer technician and soon moved into the field as a surveyor, using the skills gained from surveying in Florida for more than 10 years. When CME purchased its first GPS system, a Trimble 4700 with TSC1 data logger (Trimble, Sunnyvale, Calif.), Long took the lead in learning and using the equipment. His skills soon payed huge dividends.
