<br />SURVEYING AND MAPPING
<br />CGA's team experience covers a broad spectrum ofland
<br />surveying services. Our team has experience working
<br />with state, municipal, and private- sector projects. CGA
<br />has fully equipped survey crews which can mobilize
<br />within 48 hours notice.
<br />The Surveying and Mapping Division of CGA uses the
<br />latest technology when preparing surveys, including
<br />GPS equipment, automated data collection, laser scan-
<br />ners, underground utility detection technologies and
<br />a vacuum /slurry subsurface excavation system called
<br />the VaXcavator that exposes existing underground
<br />utilities. Operated by one of the field survey crews, the
<br />VaXcavator allows us to obtain subsurface horizontal
<br />and vertical locations required for design, in previ-
<br />ously developed areas. Additionally, Hypack sofhvare
<br />and Odom sounders allow us to offer hydrographic
<br />surveying services. By integrating with our Trimble
<br />GPS units, the equipment creates a three - dimensional
<br />model of the water body being surveyed with tremen-
<br />dous accuracy and speed.
<br />Diverse capabilities for a wide range of needs
<br />The CGA Surveying and Mapping Division is equipped
<br />with staff who are best -in- class. Our staff consists of
<br />professional surveyors and mappers, CADD technicians
<br />and survey crews that perform the following:
<br />• Boundary Surveys
<br />• Topographical Surveys
<br />• Hydrographic Surveys
<br />• Route Surveys for Engineering Design
<br />• Utility and Infrastructure Layout
<br />• GPS (Global Positioning System) Surveys
<br />• Record (As- Built) Surveys
<br />• Sketch and Scan Descriptions
<br />Leica C -10 3D Laser Scanner
<br />In the past, detailed survey reports typically took 1 -2
<br />weeks, and several visits to a site. With the Leica C -10
<br />3D Laser Scanner, survey scanning is significantly
<br />faster and can reduce the time by up to 50 percent.
<br />One Visit, a Full View, Hundreds of Photos
<br />Recognizing the value to our clients, CGA was among
<br />the first firms in Florida to acquire 3D laser scanning.
<br />Our staff can now scan virtually anything in half the
<br />time of conventional methods, with a level of detail
<br />never before available. The Leica I
<br />C -10 3D Laser Scanner can take a
<br />virtual, detailed snapshot of a site
<br />including ceilings, undersides of
<br />bridges, elevated pipe racks, tall
<br />facades, columns, and towers - ar-
<br />eas that were previously difficult to
<br />access. It collects millions of data
<br />points of all items in a 360' hor-
<br />izontal and 270° vertical field of
<br />view, allowing a full field of view.
<br />This eliminates an additional visit to capture data not
<br />covered in the original scope of work or the question of
<br />where a grade elevation was taken on an object. The 3D
<br />Laser Scanner captures all the items at once in a per-
<br />manent record that can be filed, including hundreds of
<br />high quality photos and graphics or animations, from
<br />3D to virtual walk - throughs of sites - ideal for rede-
<br />velopment areas, client presentations or commission
<br />meetings. For added convenience, the survey data
<br />can be exported to whatever format our clients need,
<br />whether Auto -Cad, Mircostation, or other software.
<br />Trusted by Cities, Utilities, and the General Public
<br />Over the last 77 years, the CGA client base has grown
<br />to include land development clients, FPL, Florida
<br />Department of Transportation, Broward County Real
<br />Property Division, and many cities within Broward,
<br />Dade and Palm Beach Counties. Whatever the project,
<br />CGA goes to great lengths and depths to meet our
<br />clients survey needs.
<br />GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)
<br />The Data Technologies and Development Department
<br />at CGA have been involved in the full spectrum GIS de-
<br />velopment for over 15 years, inclusive of, but not Inv-
<br />ited to, data development, data management, QA /QC,
<br />generalized mapping, data collection, data analysis,
<br />customize GIS web applications, and GIS web hosting,
<br />just to name a few. CGA has also been an ESRI Business
<br />Partner for over eight years. This partnership allows us
<br />to leverage additional resources from the world's in-
<br />dustry leader to ensure that our client's needs and re-
<br />quirements are met with the highest standards.
<br />In an effort to facilitate GIS project requirements, CGA
<br />has two network environments specifically dedicated
<br />for GIS to provide the highest level of quality service
<br />and support. One environment is the production /de-
