Abstract
View PresentationWorking Together to Collect 2,000 Manhole Inverts
Track: Engineering and Engineering Design
Author(s): Janet Jackson
In this presentation, we will highlight how the McKim & Creed’s survey and GIS team worked seamlessly to collect approximately 2,000 manhole XYZ and inverts at model-quality level. The GIS and surveying professionals worked together to use Toughbooks in the field, which eliminated human error and improved efficiency. Toughbooks provided a mobile solution for field data collection and GIS analysis—all in the field at the manhole site.
Other survey technologies incorporated into this project included a laser measurement instrument for capturing the sewer invert, ArcPad and ArcPad Application Builder. The team also wrote a custom interface.
The presentation will highlight lessons learned, training, cross-training, and efficient use of skill sets between the GIS and survey groups.
