A big project for Survey and Utility Coordination has been the Commuter Rail project, now known as SunRail. This project is for the purchase and conversion of the existing CSX rail corridor for use by commuter rail trains. For the past four years, Lochrane has been the lead surveyor as well as the utility coordinator for this Central Florida Commuter Rail project, now known as SunRail. This 61-mile project from Deland to Kissimmee involves full boundary and topographic surveys and underground utility location for portions of the project within the Initial Operating System (IOS). Lochrane oversaw the initial survey activities for the project in 2004 providing the initial control work for aerial photography along the project corridor. Starting in 2005, Lochrane was selected as the lead surveyor to coordinate the survey teams for all the survey activities within the project limits. Lochrane coordinated the activities, prepared the scope of services documents and facilitated team meetings with the FDOT, design engineers, title attorneys, CSX staff and each of the survey team members. The project includes utility coordination for the Initial Operating Segment, North and South Segments and for 6 station sites, including overseeing two other utility coordinators on the project. There is coordination between multiple utilities companies, municipalities, FDOT District 5, consultants and sub-consultants. The Design/Build Contract has now been awarded to Archer-Western and Lochrane is on the team to provide design survey support and utility coordination. Commuter rail service is expected to begin in 2011. For all the latest details on this project, check online at http://www.sunrail.com.

On this multi-use development project Lochrane provided a Boundary and Topographic Survey, ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey, Subdivision Platting, Legal Descriptions and Sketch of Descriptions. The City of Altamonte Springs created a vision for Uptown Altamonte. Developing an upscale urban lifestyle around Cranes Roost Lake has been the City’s highest priority over the last two decades. Uptown Altamonte is now a reality.

This was a ten mile widening project where Lochrane provided the survey services. This project included preparation of a control survey as well as complete design and right of way survey and mapping services. The Survey Division prepared a full DTM survey that included traditional cross sections, radial surveys and other methods that included a combination of reflector-less total station surveys and GPS RTK-type location. Some of the side road surveys included the Turnpike Mainline right of way line for Orlando-Vineland, Conroy, Hiawassee, Apopka-Vineland, Maguire, SR 50 ramp, Beulah Road, Kirkman and Gotha Road. Lochrane also designated utilities and performed VVH’s. The project included bridge surveys along with full design surveys of 9 different stormwater pond sites. Lochrane also surveyed jurisdictional wetland lines, tied several subdivisions located along the project limits as well as prepared boundary surveys for each parcel that was acquired for the retention ponds.

This project ran along SR 408 corridor from Chickasaw Trail to Oxalis Drive and was approximately 1.345 miles in length. There were three main road crossings included in the project and these were Cosmos Drive, Goldenrod Road and Chickasaw Trail. The Surveying Division performed surface designation as well as VVH’s (verified vertically and horizontally) for 75 conflicts requested by the prime engineering. Lochrane also surface marked the utilities with the appropriate color accepted by Sunshine One Call of Florida and the utility companies. Because of the number of utilities contained in the SR 408 corridor, careful coordination was needed to account for those utilities before construction began on the project.

A 4.8 miles extension of Alafaya Trail from the intersection of Alafaya Trail and Avalon Park Boulevard south to 1000 feet north of the Beach Line (SR 528) on which Lochrane provided civil engineering and survey. A public/private partnership project with the Developer (ICP) paying for the design and permitting and dedicating the right of way necessary for the project, this project involved relocation of gopher tortoise and the red-cockaded woodpecker. The project is currently under construction and Lochrane will be providing post design services as requested.

This 2 mile project consisted of new construction, milling and resurfacing and minor re-alignment. This involved retrofitting of existing urban storm water systems including pipes, inlets, and headwalls and the design of an innovative storm water treatment facility. The western pond is designed with many enhancements including fountains, waterfall, brick pavers, pedestrian seating, walkways, and lighting serving as the “western gateway” to the City of Gainesville. Coordination with the City of Gainesville, Alachua County, and the University of Florida involved both public and private meetings. Construction was completed in 2006.

Lochrane continues to provide post-design services on this 1.3 mile project, a widening from two-lanes to four-lanes and extension from South Orange Blossom Trail to John Young Parkway for Orange County. This project involved two storm water ponds, including alternative evaluation for one of the three ponds, as well as wetland impacts and mitigation. Lochrane also provided full right of way and design survey services as well as the location of underground utilities. Right of way maps and legal descriptions were prepared for acquisition of new right-of-way including pond sites. The project included utility coordination with several utilities including detailed coordination with OUC, Comcast, Progress Energy and AT&T.

Lochrane is currently working on final construction plans for this interchange and extension of Alafaya Trail to Aerospace Boulevard with connection to ICP Boulevard. The interchange will include a four ramp connection to SR 528. The extension to Aerospace Boulevard will be a 4-lane divided roadway, with the Aerospace Boulevard easterly extension to ICP Blvd being a 2-lane roadway. This project also involved Design Survey.

This 0.9 mile project, located in Jacksonville, consisted of plans for new construction to replace an existing 4-lane road with a base consisting of re-bar and concrete overlayed with asphalt. All of the construction took place within a narrow 60’ right of way making construction very difficult. Existing structures built right up to the right of way line made vibration monitoring a very important feature of this project. We also prepared Right of Way and Design Surveys including Underground Utility Location surveys for this project, as well as Right of Way maps and legal descriptions.

On this resurfacing and safety improvements project in Daytona Beach, Lochrane provided design services including utility coordination and survey. Running from Riverview Blvd to SR 40 for 4.1 miles, this project was an assignment under our Districtwide Misc Design No. 91 contract. Survey work included alignment surveys, aerial target placement and survey, DTM survey, Subsurface Utility survey, and detail drainage structures.
