DuPage Water Commission - Surveying
The project encompassed a length of approximately 30 miles and included topographic data collection utilizing terrestrial methods as well as aerial LiDAR performed by SAM Company. Horizontal and vertical control was established utilizing GPS/GNSS along with terrestrial methods, along with measurement and calculations of approximately 58 United States Public Land Survey System (USPLSS) sections and review of title commitments for approximately 250 different land parcels.
The scope also included calculations necessary to place limits of 250 land parcels as well as applicable existing easements, and creation of exhibits and writing of legal descriptions for permanent easement and temporary easement acquisition of approximately 140 parcels of land. These efforts resulted in construction of over 30 miles of potable water main ranging in size from 54" to 24" diameter piping, providing a source of Lake Michigan water to at least the western suburbs of Oswego, Montgomery, and Yorkville.
