storm

While setting out primary control for +1m dollar homes with an incredible view, a storm was skirting by us. The storm brought fog so quick and dense that we often found ourselves unable to survey with the Trimble S7 robot. As the storm moved, it brought this incredible cloud formation.

clemson-cows

I was performing a topographic survey to expand the dairy farm area in the Clemson University animal research area and was trying to determine the size of a pipe in a catch basin. Apparently the cows became interested in what I was doing and came over to watch.

marking section line

Cutting through the fog - marking the section line so the farmer knows where to lay out his crop.

baseball stadium survey

When you assume responsibility of managing a large project from the natural terrain and can control more than 105,000,000 cubic feet of excavation with aerial photography combined with ground control, you feel like a father does for his son in the best moments of his life. In Venezuela, the largest and most modern baseball stadium in the South American region is built with tiered levels and a capacity for 37,000 spectators. In addition, it has all the main grandstand and the side bodies to form a half moon shape. It will not have bleachers in the central garden so that the spectators can have a better view. It will also have a screen of 197 x 82 feet.

stone boundary marker

Found this quarter corner marked backwards, no this image is not mirrored. Doing a retracement survey to locate stones that were set in the 1870's after a fire on Antelope Island. State Parks service was going to disk and reseed the burned areas. Old PLSS stones were in jeopardy of being destroyed so we set T-posts near the stones.

raven on total station

While working on a topographic survey of the Anacostia River in Washington DC, a large raven decided to land on our instrument setup!

topographic survey for power substation and access road

It's been a dry winter thus far, but of course when you need to work outside it snows! Our site was a topographic mapping project for a power substation and 1 mile access road which we surveyed both on the ground and with an unmanned aerial system.

cell site survey at Mount Hood Meadows Ski Resort

"This was a cell site survey in the parking lot of Mount Hood Meadows Ski Resort in 2016.

LDC architects and engineers regularly design and develop cell sites all over Washington and Oregon for a multitude of carriers.

My job as lead surveyor is to establish GPS control and perform detailed topographies of the entire design area with overlap, including locating transformers and existing power sources. With my Leica MS50, I often scan the existing antenna inventory on the towers (if applicable), from three angles for very accurate reproduction aiding in precise placement of future antenna."

surveying-headframe-layout-Timmins-Ont

"New Headframe layout over existing shaft in Timmins, Ontario. Using a Topcon GT-1003 on a rather unsteady platform, but a surveyor’s gotta do what he’s gotta do to get it done. Took a few station setups to finally get the accuracy I required."
