Th e interior mechanical as builts performed in the Fan Room included all overhead beams and girders, all overhead cable trays and conduit piping and conduit piping and drain lines in the concrete fl oor. Th e topographic mapping included the location of sags in the high voltage lines over the proposed ammonia storage area and the wave run up limits of Lake Michigan near the proposed electrical room area.

In addition, EDI also performed the layout and coordination of the proposed soil boring locations per

provided exhibits and additional topographic mapping due to the new locations for construction and the request of the selected constructor for the construction trailer offi ces, laydown areas and construction parking (approximately 8.5 acres).

Calumet-Sag Watershed Plan Phase BCook County, Illinois

Th is project included the collection of topographic and other physical data to support the development of hydrologic and hydraulic models for the evaluation of approximately 70 miles of streams and waterways located within the Calumet-Sag Watershed in southern Cook County, Illinois.

As a subconsultant to CH2M Hill, EDI’s involvement included planning, project control, site control, structure surveys and hydraulic cross sections for approximately 36 miles of streams and waterways. Project control included verifi cation that the existing

VRS/Spidernet GPS Network complied with the +/- 5cm vertical accuracies required by the FEMA Guidelines and Specifi cations for Flood Hazard Mapping Partners, Appendix A: Guidance for Aerial Mapping and Surveying. Technics outlined in the NSDI Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards were used for testing the vertical accuracies. Th e project datums are NAD 83 and NAVD 88. Site control points were established for each project site using the VRS/Spidernet GPS system.

Surveys of the cross sections and structures were made using electronic total stations. EDI completed surveying of 344 cross sections and 41 bridges for this project.

EXPERIENCE


Southern Illinois Energy Company–Topographic and Land Survey

Th is energy company was revamping their transmission lines due to new bridge construction. EDI located all the company’s utility poles in about an eight to ten block area of the site. Data gathered by EDI was used to redesign the transmission lines and feeder lines in this area to avoid confl icts with the construction due to the new river bridge and its rerouting of existing roadways.

Along with this topographic survey, EDI needed to obtain the new alignments and rights of way from

IDOT so that the existing poles could be shown in relationship to the centerlines and rights of way. Th e topographic survey was expanded as rerouting of roadways is designed.

EDI performed survey work for the company to aid in the relocation of gas transmission lines in the area.

Conoco-Phillips Wood River Refi nery Expansion Project SurveyRoxana, Illinois

EDI completed survey work at the Wood River Refi nery oil refi nery currently owned by ConocoPhillips and Cenovus Energy, and operated by the joint-venture company WRB Refi ning, LLC.

An expansion project (CORE project) is currently underway at the refi nery, aimed at increasing processing of heavier crudes, and includes installation of a new coker unit. Th e project is expected to be completed by 2011.

Th e complex is capable of refi ning 306,000 barrels (48,700 m3) of crude oil per day and is the largest refi nery operated by ConocoPhillips.

For URS, EDI surveyors established horizontal and vertical control utilizing RTK GPS, Robotic Total Stations, and digital levels, located groundwater monitoring wells within the refi nery and surrounding villages. and certifi ed horizontal and vertical well locations with respect to known, published National Geodetic Survey control points.EDI surveyors performed an Environmental Land Use Control (ELUC) Survey for a former wastewater treatment pond. Th e

survey was tied to local refi nery control points, as well as Recorded Public Land Survey System corners. A Plat of Survey and Land Description were created.

EDI surveyors performed topographic surveying, locating various steel structures and pipe racks for future additions, and established horizontal and vertical control utilizing RTK GPS, Robotic Total Stations, and digital levels.

On-Call Survey Services for Petroleum Refi neryNortheastern Illinois

Th is refi nery is a supplier of transportation fuels, particularly in the upper Midwest. Th e refi nery has crude processing capacity of 167,000 barrels per day (bpd) and manufactures several grades of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and high-quality hydrocarbon solvents used in the production of paints, adhesives and coatings.

Th e refi nery has a long history of supporting the needs of the upper Midwest. Th e original Refi nery was built in the early 1920s with a crude capacity of 25,000 bpd. During the

years of 1968-1970, the new refi nery was constructed on 900 acres, with a capacity of 135,000 bpd. Additional expansion has brought the refi nery to its present state as a modern, well-confi gured 167,000-bpd facility capable of refi ning heavy, sour crude oils into high-quality fi nished products.

EDI is currently performing on-call surveying services to aid in the refi nery’s operation and expansion/retrofi t programs, including topographic surveys, control surveys utilizing GPS and digital levels, construction layout and volumetric surveys for determination of quarterly yields. All survey personnel are

40-hour HAZWOPER certifi ed and NASAP tested, as well as holders of TWIC cards.

Prairieland Energy PipelineTopographic, Route and Land Survey Northern Illinois

EDI is providing surveying services as a subconsultant to Stanley Consultants for Prairieland Energy, Inc. Prairieland operates as an energy service company capable of acquiring and delivering electric service to the University of Illinois and other entities. While it was created by action of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, Prairieland operates as a separate wholly owned subsidiary, distinct from the University.

Prairieland is currently working on a Preliminary Design Study for the installation of a gas bypass pipeline in

northern Illinois. Th e bypass pipeline will carry natural gas from a pipeline to a single delivery point over the distance of approximately six to eight miles. Prairieland chose the design team, which included EDI for survey-ing services, which best provided the knowledge and expertise to perform civil, mechanical and cost engineering analysis, as well as other engineering skills, including surveying, to success-fully complete the project.

While this project is currently in its infancy, EDI is currently providing planning analysis and support, and it is anticipated that EDI will provide topographic, route and land surveys for the design and acquisition of par-cels or easements for the length of the pipeline.
