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.
