On
this project BSIE provided QL-A, B, C, and D information in
conformance with CI/ASCE 38-02 standards for the first phase of
Harvard University’s Allston Campus Development, encompassing some
300 acres of Commercial & Residential property. BSIE was selected by
the Allston Development Group to be the SUE consultant for this
project. BSIE provided QL-B electronic utility designation, related
record utility research, numerous confined space entries, 155 QL-A
vacuum excavation test holes, and all related traffic management
services on densely populated urban arterial streets such as Western
Ave and North Harvard Street in Allston, MA.
All SUE survey data collected for this project was prepared with
associated “intelligent” attribute blocks. This allowed the data
collected to be imported directly into the owners GIS system. In
addition to the data usually collected, each line is permanently and
individually “stamped” with information such as quality level, year
of the investigation and the name of the company performing the
investigation. Information that normally can’t be included due to
labeling space restrictions such as owner name and date of
installation of the facility is included in the attribute block and
can be displayed if desired.
In this project area one of the agencies from which construction
permits had to be obtained required a datum base other than the
datum base that the information was collected in. Because the Rim
and Invert information was stored as “Intelligent Attribute Data”
the GIS system was able to recalculate the rim and invert elevations
and automatically re-label the drawings. The approx. project value
for this project was $250, 000.
