Pre-construction site information is collected by performing a topographic j or planimetric survey of the site to determine the horizontal and vertical location of physical features. The result is used to create project plans, which is also performed by the Engineering Technician. ~ Pre-construction site information provided by the Engineering Technician to the contractor maybe in the form of the following: • Cut Sheets A listing of elevations and relative cuts or fills, and distance, to j structures to be built at markers placed in the field i Points lists A computer listing of plan points on the projecf site relative to ~ structures to be built j • Hubs and construction stakes Wooden markers placed in the ground with information relating to the j vertical and horizontal location of structures to be built • Benchmarks and control points Semi permanent to permanent markers and reference points with the elevation above Mean Sea Level and/or State Plane co-ordinates either in the format of 1927 North American Datum (NAD 27), 1983 NAD (NAD 83) or Metric co-ordinates d) Design research Research for design may include but is not limited to: • Review of video tapes and logs of wastewater and storm sewers for defects of the main line, services, manholes and catch basins • Review of private wastewater connection drawings to determine activity and location • Review of "as-constructed" drawings of wastewater, storm, roads, sidewalks, sub-divisions, individual buildings • Review sub-division plats, deeds and existing surveys ' Review of water, power, gas, telephone, cable TV and steam records • Review of aerial photographs The research method is typically accomplished by first creating a map of the proposed project site as a reference drawing. This is done using survey data collected in the field by the Engineering Technician and creating a drawing (using Auto Cad) which indicates the location of all existing utilities, structures and surfaces which are visible from the ground. The next step is to overlay the existing public right of way onto the drawing to indicate the limits of public improvements or the need to acquire additional right of way for the project. Right of Way information is stored on-line in the format of an AutoCad drawing indicating the entire city of Eugene. The Engineering Technician has to locate the area pertaining to the proposed project and extract that information from the Right of Way drawing and place it in the reference drawing in the correct location per state plane co-ordinates. The next step is to verify all information collected during the survey by comparing it to the "as-constructed" drawings within the city database.
