Southeastern Engineering, Inc. (SEI) Provides Control and Runway Verification For LiDAR Mapping At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

donnatwohig — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:11:06 +0000

ATLANTA, GA-December 21st, 2011- Southeastern Engineering Inc. (SEI), a woman owned engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, has been contracted by AIS (one of HJAIA’s primary on-call engineering joint ventures) to provide 3D laser scanning, BIM modeling, runway control and LiDAR mapping verification.

SEI’s role in the project was to provide various surveying services within the airfield along Runways 9L/27R, 9R/27L and the associated taxiways at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Runways 9L/27R, 9R/27L and the associated taxiways were mapped utilizing Mobile LiDAR, our task was to provide survey control and to verify the LiDAR mapping results every 500′ along the runways and taxiways. Additionally, SEI provided topographic mapping at each runway end beyond the initial mapping boundaries to insure the design tied in properly to existing ground surfaces. In support of the A380 Gate modifications, SEI utilized 3D laser scanning to locate and model existing gate, building and ramp features for use in design.

SEI’s had to overcome several challenges to complete this project ahead of schedule and within budget. According to Chris Adams, SEI’s Director of Surveying, “Working at night at the on runways and taxiways at the busiest airport in world does come its own set of unique challenges. Coordinating runway closures, navigating security, working overnight while maintaining virtually flat tolerances and near perfect closures is tough, but exactly the type of project we prefer.”

ATLANTA, GA-November 28th, 2011- Southeastern Engineering Inc. (SEI), a woman owned engineering and surveying consulting firm headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, has been contracted by Vanderlande Industries to perform 3D Laser Scanning for the LaGuardia Airport Baggage Handling System.

Vanderlande Industries, a leader in baggage handling solutions, has selected SEI to perform high definition 3D laser surveying scanning in an effort to improve the efficiency of LaGuardia Airport’s baggage handling conveyor system.

Scan data is used to identify clashes within the right-of-way of the proposed conveyor system by importing 3D models of the proposed conveyor into the point cloud where conflicts can easily be identified. This data is in turn used to notify the owner and assist system designers in conveyor realignment and to prepare enabling documents to support conflict relocation.

Southeastern Engineering, Inc. (SEI) To Correct Functionality of Rivermoore Park Community’s Storm Water Facility

donnatwohig — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:25:12 +0000

ATLANTA, GA. November 9th – Rivermoore Park’s Homeowner’s Association has selected SEI to provide surveying, engineering, and construction administration services to correct a silt deposit problem and rehabilitate the outlet structure within the upper Meadow Park View lake that is designated as the community’s primary stormwater management facility.

The primary function of Rivermoore’s upper lake is to mitigate the stormwater impacts associated with the development of homes within Rivermoore Park. The lake also serves the community as a recreational feature. Because of the excess silt deposits, the lake has a reduced stormwater capacity, and is unable to support aquatic life. This has caused concern for the nearby residents and has provoked the Park’s Homeowner Association to take action. The combination of removing the deposited sediment and installing a siphon outlet system would create a more suitable environment for fish, while also promoting better stormwater management function.

Minimizing environmental impacts while accomplishing the project goals was a challenge during the design process. Silt removal would occur while the lake is drained, so that removed material can be allowed to dry before being permanently placed south of the lake. An earthen embankment would be constructed from excavated structural soil to prevent placed silt from migrating into adjacent stream buffers. When the deposited silt has been permanently removed, the lake will be allowed to fill again. The initial rain events will undoubtedly re-suspend soil particles. A silt curtain is proposed to prevent silt releases into downstream areas. Potential environmental impacts have been limited due to the construction methods and measures proposed.

Removed material from the lake would be dried and permanently placed south of the dam. Silt would be recycled to create a passive recreation area and improve pedestrian access to the lake. A small parking area, constructed of pervious materials, is proposed for visitors, picnickers, anglers, and families as a part of the Rivermoore Park community. The pervious construction would be attractive and environmentally functional, by allowing runoff infiltration and protecting downstream water quality.
