3D Survey Technology & Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)
Room 111
Most modern Infrastructure improvement projects are being designed and constructed within the
existing built environment. These improvement projects will most likely encounter both known
and unknown buried utilities which will have a direct negative impact on project costs, schedule,
and worker’s safety. Projects that invest in adequate utility mapping and detection to support the
design process will save significant costs in the project construction.
This presentation is based on the American Society of Civil Engineers 38-02 Subsurface Utility
Engineering (SUE) Guidelines, industry best practices and applying lessons learned from the
execution of infrastructure improvement projects to locate and map subsurface utilities and
structures. This discussion will provide a progressive process to manager risk associated with
the location, identification and depiction of existing underground facilities by using Quality
Level (QL) assignments to each noted utility. The QL notation provided owners, surveyors,
engineers, contractors and stakeholders with an understanding of the reasonable level of
accuracy for the existing utility information shown maps and plans.
This discussion will cover the following topics as they related to buried utilities:
Utility Research
Utility mapping
Utility detection technology and methods
Utility potholing
Utility designation and final mapping (QL Levels)
Matt Rowe, PLS
Matt Rowe, a Principal of Psomas, has 34 years of professional surveying experience including

and record mapping (including many 3-dimensional maps). He has coordinated, managed, and
supervised a multitude of projects that have included the services of field survey, aerial
photogrammetric mapping, digital orthophotos, utility surveys, title report review, boundary
analysis, and preparation of maps and exhibits. In addition to survey management, Mr. Rowe
also instructs employees of major law firms and title insurance companies in the process of the
ALTA survey. His seminar features the components of ALTA/ACSM Land Title surveys, the
ALTA process and legal requirements, legal descriptions and some of the associated pitfalls, as
well as instruction on interpreting information from an ALTA survey.
Anissa Voyiatzes, PE, ENV SP, QSD
Ms. Voyiatzes, an Associate and Vice President of Psomas, has 23 years of experience in civil
engineering planning, design, and program and project management for transportation and public
works projects. These projects have included public facility projects that required utility
engineering, vehicular and pedestrian bridges, roadway widening, site grading, flood control
facilities, drainage systems, sewer and water systems, parking lots and retaining walls. She
specializes in public works engineering. Her experience includes project management and design
that incorporate sustainable design practices.
Dave Moritz, PLS
Dave Moritz, a Principal of Psomas, has over 27 years of experience in the survey industry,
including right of way program management, pipeline mapping, Subsurface Utility Engineering
(SUE), ALTA surveys, design surveys, control surveys, utility surveys, base mapping, Records
of Survey, and legal descriptions. More recently, Dave was responsible for developing a SUE
program for a large pipeline testing/replacement project in Southern California. The program
required over 1000 miles of testing and over 200 miles of replacement in urban, suburban and
rural areas. A good SUE program was the key to the program’s success. He developed work
flows and standards that follow the ASCE 38-02 SUE guidelines and implemented the program
with over 20 different surveying and pipeline engineering consultants.
Smart City Technology
Room 132
James Filanc, LEED AP
Director, Business Development
Southern Contracting Company
Mr. Filanc has been in the energy design-build construction industry for nearly 40 years. He has
worked on refinery, oil & gas and petrochemical projects around the world as project engineer,
project controls manager, project manager and business development / marketing manager for
major companies, including Fluor, Brown & Root, Halliburton and Jacobs Engineering.
Since 2007, Mr. Filanc has been the Director of Business Development with Southern
Contracting, a leading utility contractor serving Southern California since 1963. He has led the
company into new markets, including renewable energy and energy efficiency. Since 2010, he
has helped Southern Contracting become a leading design-builder of LED streetlight projects,
having audited, designed, and/or converted to LED and induction technologies more than
150,000 streetlights. Southern provides turnkey streetlight programs, including streetlight
auditing, illumination engineering, material procurement, installation, utility rebates, financing
assistance, and on-going operations and maintenance.
Mr. Filanc has also been a pioneer and active in advancing the streetlight market from an
industry that just provides roadway lighting to becoming market where streetlights now serve as
a service hub to deliver wireless communications technology adaptive lighting controls, sensing
technology (optical, environmental, etc.). He has published numerous white papers that have
been influential in guiding the development of smart streetlight applications for cities such as
San Diego and Oceanside, California. He also coordinated the formation of a formal research
project comprised of SDG&E, (local utility), the Cities of San Diego and Chula Vista, and the
California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) to investigate the nexus of dimming savings
with roadway lighting output. This has directly led to the creation of the state’s first TOU-
metered streetlight tariff rate, slated for implementation in 2018. This tariff has been strategically
developed to capture additional LED dimming savings while providing metered power to IoT
devices, small cells, and sensors atop streetlights.
Mr. Filanc sees LED streetlight conversions as a strategic down payment on a city’s plans to
build a strategic roadmap to becoming a smart city, leveraging the unlocked savings to invest in
smart infrastructure and support the rapid advance of the mobile internet atop streetlights.

ADA Accessibility
Room 111
Mr. Lorenzo and Mr. Voskerchyan will present about the effort to comply with the American
with Disabilities Act and a recent Settlement Agreement, the City of Los Angeles has embarked
upon an ambitious Sidewalk Repair Program (SRP). The SRP plans to address non-accessible
pedestrian facilities (sidewalks, curb ramps, etc.) within a thirty-year program and spend
approximately $1.4 Billion in that effort. The SRP is divided into three primary sub-programs:
Program Access Improvements, Access Request Program, and the Rebate Program.
As a significant portion of the sidewalk damage is pursuant to the presence of street trees, the
SRP will require creative solutions to street tree/sidewalk conflicts to ensure the City's street tree
canopy is not diminished and continues to provide all the ecosystem benefits now provided.
Mr. Davis will show and discuss common accessible path of travel deficiencies in the public
right-of-way and solutions to those deficiencies.
