SPECIFICATIONS FOR SURVEYING, AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND MAPPING OF A PROPOSED TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR 1.0 Introduction These specifications are for plan profile surveys required by the Engineer to develop computer models for the design of overhead line facilities and modeling for analysis of existing lines. The Engineer uses PLS-CADD computer software for design and analysis of transmission line projects. The survey requirements for development of PLS-CADD profile and plan detail follow. Terrain and obstruction data shall be described by coordinate position and feature characteristic collected by the surveyor. The surveyor shall measure the position of any features of objects described in the attached list of features as necessary to define the project. The method of acquisition shall be proposed by the surveyor and may include ground survey with total station and data recorder, aerial photogrammetric surveys, or remote sensing (i.e. lidar) surveys that produce horizontal and vertical positions with codes to describe different features. 2.0 Area To Be Flown The proposed route of the transmission line is as follows: {Description of Line Route}. The approximate length of this line is {length of route}. The width of coverage shall be a minimum of {300 Note: for existing lines one may wish to consider a much smaller width} meters left and right from the route centerline 3.0 Approximate Route Alignment Drawing {Drawing Number(s)} dated {mm/dd/yy}, represents the current proposed location of the transmission line. The drawing is also attached as an electronic drawing in {AutoCAD, Microstation, other} format for use only with this project. The projection used in the file is {UTM, State Plane, etc. – full description}. 4.0 Deliverables Contact Prints Digital Orthophotography Image files on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM CAD Drawing file on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM DTM (Digital Terrain Model) file on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Optional: A PLS-CADD backup (“.bak”) f
