In addition, CGA has been successful in obtaining several millions =• of dollars in grants to accomplish the District's goals and objectives. ` • =• ' , . • Furthermore, CGA has also developed storm water master plans for several municipalities including the Cities of Dania Beach, Lauderhill, West Park, Weston and z• :: the Town of Surfside. Within these cities, we have provided a number of storm water- • related activities such as storm water modeling, drainage calculations, pump station 1 • design and/or pump station rehabilitation, NPDES MS4 compliance, culvert design, ti ; • canal extensions and other related hydraulic structures. • Our experienced drainage engineers keep abreast of the latest EPA, FDEP and SFWMD regulations with • respect to drainage issues. They regularly summarize new regulations, their impact on clients and recommend actions to comply with the new regulation(s). • . ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CGA's Electrical Department has broad capabilities for the infrastructure and the end use development for • municipal, commercial,and industrial projects.The types of services provided include: • • • Power Distribution • Communication System Distribution • Interior Lighting • Telephone • • Area Lighting • Cable TV • • Street Lighting • SCADA • • Sports Lighting • Energy Conservation • SURVEYING • The Surveying and Mapping Division of CGA utilizes the latest in cutting edge technology when preparing surveys including GPS equipment, automated data collection, Laser Scanners, Underground utility • detection technologies and a Vacuum/Slurry subsurface excavation system called the VaXcavator that • exposes existing underground utilities. Operated by one of the field survey crews, it allows us to obtain . sub-surface horizontal and vertical locations required for design, while realizing cost and timesavings for our clients. Additionally, our state-of-the-art Hypack software with Odom sounder allows us to offer • hydrographic surveying services. By integrating with our Trimble GPS units, the equipment creates a three- • dimensional model of the water body being surveyed and significant savings for our clients. • Recognizing the value to our clients, CGA was among the first firms in Florida to acquire the 3D Laser • ScanStation. Our Surveying and Mapping staff can now scan virtually anything in half the time of S conventional methods, with a level of detail not available before. The ScanStation can take a virtual, detailed snapshot of a site including ceilings, undersides of bridges, elevated pipe racks, tall facades, columns and • towers. Areas that were previously difficult to access. It collects millions of data points of all items in a 360° 5 horizontal and 270° vertical field of view, allowing a full field of view. This eliminates an additional visit to • capture data not covered in the original scope of work or the question as to where a shot was taken of an object. The ScanStation captures all the items at once in a permanent record that can be filed, including • hundreds of high quality photos, and graphics or animations, from 3D to virtual walk-through of sites. It is • ideal for litigations, client presentations or commission meetings. For added convenience, the survey data • can be exported to whatever format our clients need, whether CADD or other software. • • • RR)#12-04-02,Civil/Environmental Engineering Page 214 •
