In an ongoing effort to mitigate localized storm water drainage and flooding issues throughout the county, Metro Water Services has contracted with a team led by Barge Cauthen & Associates to craft engineered solutions to both isolated and comprehensive challenges.

As an integral part of the team, CIA is tasked with providing surveying support services including field surveys, survey base maps, property and easement surveys, and preparation of easements for construction and permanent storm water drainage improvements.

The topographic surveys include precise locations of all existing roadway and utility features within the study area as well as development of an accurate digital terrain model and location of existing right-of-way and properties for acquisition of easements. CIA establishes horizontal and vertical control with GPS and confirms vertical precision with differential levels. Data is collected with RTK GPS and conventional and robotic total stations and delivered in the latest release of AutoCAD Civil 3D dwg format.
