The Problem

• Poorly mapped and abundant existing underground facilities complicate design and excavation

• Current Workflow– One-call service: Facilities marked– Facilities are un-earthed for depth– Spot location depths documented

• Problems– 2d data inaccuracies due to distortion– Spot depths may or may not tell the whole story– Depths are documented; not elevations

• Results– Designs require utility relocation– Utility strikes are common and

dangerous – April 2nd, 2008

The Problem

The Solution

• Prepare a 3d survey!• The Spar System

– 3d Magnetic Sensor– Trimble Access:

• Utility Survey Software• FieldSensTM Technology

– Trimble RTK-GNSS receiver– Transmitter

Why is Surveying Better than Locating?• We are professional surveyors: we provide professional quality data

• Avoid strikes and improve safety with accurate surveying• Provide for improved design workflow: data up front• Measure and document locating subsystem RMS error • Reduce depth ambiguity by surveying elevations (x, y AND z)• Locate with survey grade precision: RTK-GNSS• Combine overall errors from geospatial and locate subsystems

– Reduce the total effort to locate, map, document

• This technology allows for surveying from offset positions– Map the line without constant need to stay on peak or CL– Move away from distortion– Termed as casual contact– Survey where traditional methods don’t allow

Project Results

• High Pressure Gas Main: Gas utility crews saved three days of excavation time in verification of pipe location and elevation

• Highway Project: Grading crews were able to grade over the line without any inadvertent strikes

• River Crossing: Dredging crew was able to dredge with confidence allowing the work to be completed in this section two days ahead of schedule

DAAR Experience in Summary

• Spar performed as specified• Gas main and tap elevations consistently measured from

surface to 12 feet below ground with accuracy of +/- 3 to 5 inches

• Highway 33 project compared previously measured gas main GPS elevation points to Spar data and noted +/- 1.5 inch elevation differences – very good!

• DEEP depths provide a challenge• Liability concerns alleviated by documented accuracy
