The Alvey-Fairview No. 1 230 kV transmission line wood pole rebuild consisted of installing new H-frame poles over the entire 99-mile length of the transmission line.
MacKay Sposito provided land surveying and mapping to support the project. Our team was responsible for establishing control networks; performing cadastral and property corner ties; and providing topographic, profile, cross section, and LiDAR verification surveys.
We also located existing and proposed access roads extending for hundreds of miles through the region. The conditions of the access roads varied significantly and included maintained country road, drivable surfaced roads, dirt roads, and impassable roads.
Survey deliverables included legal descriptions and sketches for the proposed acquisition of access road easements and permits for road, utility, and river crossings. Mapping deliverables included updated plan and profile maps generated from historic mylar maps that were converted into a digital format.
