Harris Bay Yacht Club
Queensbury, NY
DLS was hired as a subconsultant by the Harris Bay Yacht Club to assist with their dock repair project. Field data was captured for topographic and planimetric features divided into two regions, South of Route 9L and the Dock Area North of 9L. Major features were mapped for both areas, including underground utility locations, major features were located including underground utility locations.
Within the northern dock area, the existing dock configuration was captured to us in qualifying the existing dock space for engineering layout of the proposed configuration was performed to assist the contractor with the installation. The southern section of this project focused on topographic mapping, and the location of underground utilities for the implementation of the design of drainage features.
Warren County DPW Facility
Main St., Warrensburg, NY
DLS completed a Field Survey and mapping including property boundary, topographic data, record data and mapping of parcels comprising the current Warren County facility in Warrensburg. The project included the location of major existing features, including underground utilities and stormwater structures. Base mapping was prepared in civil 3D 2021 format and delivered in electronic format to the client for use in design.
Palisades Road Culvert Replacement
Horicon, NY
DLS provided topographic base mapping of the area surrounding a failed culvert for the design of a replacement, including extensive research into the highway boundaries. We also worked with the Contractor and provided support for the taking maps necessary to complete this project and reopen the road. The project scope included topographic and boundary mapping, within the area provided by the project requirements. Mapping included the location of major features, including stormwater structures, underground utilities, water surface evaluation and critical bridge / culvert features including submerged features.
Passero – Fulton County Airport
The Fulton County Airport is a County owned, public use airport. This project focused on the taxiway rehabilitation, the Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) Building and the replacement aviation fueling facility. The project scope included capturing 50’ and 25’ grids across the runway and apron and other requested areas in relation to the project scope, 1’ contour interval topographic mapping with major feature locations.
Common Roots Brewing Company
Marion Avenue and Saratoga Avenue, Village of South Glens Falls
After the 2019 fire that decimated the original brewery structure, DLS was brought in to provide boundary and topographic surveying for the design of the new facilities. This assisted with the construction layout of the newly rebuilt brewery, as well as the expansion of a separate special event room and Biergarten. As-built mapping was completed for both the north and south site in relation to the road.
Kent Falls Trifurcation
Kent Falls, Clinton NY
DLS was brought into complete required survey work for repair of the penstock and ring girders for the Kent Falls Trifurcation. A ground survey was performed at the site to facilitate a LiDAR scan of a 3,000’ penstock used at the hydro facility. A Trimble SX10 scanning total station was used to establish control and capture LiDAR point cloud data with the Penstock dry and flooded. Point cloud data was processed using Trimble Real Works Advanced Plant. From the point cloud data cross-sections of the penstock were cut for use in determining the geometry of replacement supports. Data was provided to the client as PDFs and electronic drawing data consisting of the control and point cloud data as well as individual section data showing the pipe geometry at each proposed ring girder location.
CD Perry/High Falls Intake Upgrade
Soper Road, Town of Saranac, NY
DLS provided plan review and computations of features for the NYSEG High Fall Dam Facility intake modification. Bathymetric data was captured for planning purposes. Provided horizontal control and benchmark information was recovered, survey control and benchmarks were densified to support construction. A site calibration was performed for GPS equipment with control and site models loaded on the on-site survey equipment and heavy equipment. Repeated point cloud data was captured for quantity computations and to confirm rock excavation.
CD Perry – Indian Lake Dam
Indian Lake, NY
DLS provided plan review and computations of features for the rehabilitation of the Indian Lake Dam Provided horizontal control and benchmark information was recovered, survey control and benchmarks were densified to support construction. Construction computations and layout was conducted to support post tension anchor, secant and battered pile locations. 40 control prisms were installed along the dam crest to monitor deformation during the drilling operation using a Leica TM50 Total Station with reporting generated in Leica GeoMoS.
Empire State Trail Jack and Bore Under Pan Am Railyard
Pattersonville and Rotterdam Junction, NY
DLS provided construction support for trail building operation including support of a jack and bore operation under the Pan Am railyard at Rotterdam Junction. Support included 3 months of continuous rail monitoring through the excavation and jack and bore. Prisms were mounted on 3 sets of tracks and tunnel box for 24-hour tracking of the jack and bore to maintain positioning. Other tasks were survey support of exploratory drilling, tendon installation, spile, and soil nail installations.
Southland Renda JV Gilboa Dam Site
Gilboa, NY
