SURVEY AND MAPPING SERVICES

Key staff members of McGoodwin Williams & Yates have conducted and managed, a wide variety of both

engineering and land surveying projects over the life of the firm, including engineering field surveys, site surveys, GPS, existing facility surveys and all aspects necessary to complete the project.

Rights-Of-Way and Easements - MWY has extensive experience in determining project right-of-way requirements and preparing legal descriptions for all types of municipal improvements. We have managed right-of-way acquisition on numerous major projects in Northwest Arkansas and throughout the state.

Equipment – MWY utilizes both Global Positioning and conventional “total station” electronic surveying equipment complete with field data recorders. Data collected in the field can be entered directly into computer software within minutes so analysis, design, and generation of CAD drawings can begin immediately without manual processing of field data.

Our surveyors are trained in the use of the State Plane Coordinate System and are equipped with "Astro-Rhomb" software for quick, accurate determination of azimuth from solar observations. They are skilled in the use of global positioning equipment for topographic, route and control surveys for mapping projects. They are equipped with Trimble R8GNSS units, Trimble Pro XRS Mapping Grade GPS Unit, a trimble S6 RRobotic Total Station, a Sokkia Set 3 total station, Sokkia Optical Level, laptop computers for field use and an Olympus Camedia D580 digital camera.

Digital Base Mapping - MWY maintains digital based zoning maps for several municipalities. These maps are easily updated or rescaled using computer aided drafting software and ArcView G.I.S. Software.

EXAMPLES:

City of Batesville, Existing Sewer Manhole Mapping - In 2009 our survey team mapped all existing sewer manholes in the city of Batesville using our Trimble Pro XRS Mapping Grade GPS unit. The total number of manholes was approximately 2700.

City of Batesville, GPS Control Network - In 2001, our survey team established a GPS Control Network that covers the entire city of Batesville, Arkansas. NGS monuments were utilized in establishing the control network. Since 2001 all surveying for projects in Batesville have been on one coordinate system, which enables all projects to be referenced to each other in real-world positions. This control network covers approximately 40 square miles; and has been used for various types of projects including new water and sewer lines, water and sewer treatment plant improvements, and utility relocation projects.

SPRINGDALE HIGH SCHOOL

SITE DEVELOPMENT MWY performed site development services for the renovations and additions to the Springdale High School.

The school originally was separated into a north campus and south campus by Emma Street. This project required the closing of Emma Street to allow for an addition that connected the two campuses.

The street closure included numerous utility relocations in close proximity of the existing structures on the site. The utility relocations included but were not limited to water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage.

The storm drainage relocation required special consideration due to the unique challenges that were present with the existing topography and the locations of the new addition. CLIENT:

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

“GREEN” SITE RESULTS IN SUPERB DRAINAGE - COST SAVINGS

Stormwater management for the new 10-acre Beaver Water District site focused on the recycling and conservation of water and landscape. As such, MWY incorporated both innovative and time-tested techniques to create a showcase for stormwater management and sustainable design. The overall approach/goal was to slow water down as it drained and reduce concentrated flows to a minimum. Infiltration/Bioretention basins are the key component of this design. Five basins were constructed into which heavy volumes of stormwater runoff is directed and can be stored for up to three days before being discharged into the receiving stream.

The infiltration basin is typically formed by digging a large hole and constructing a small perforated discharge pipe that will allow for drainage. These pipes are generally six inches in diameter. The use of small diameter piping represents significant savings over the use of large diameter concrete stormwater piping. Above and below the perforated pipe, crushed stone is placed to allow for water to both enter the discharge piping and infiltrate as much water as possible into the soils.

By maximizing the infiltration, every chance possible is provided to replenish groundwater supplies and maintain soil moisture. An additional benefit occurs in the layer of gravel as the water is filtered. Pervious concrete parking and walkways also allows for water to enter the system and eliminates direct runoff during rain events. CLIENT:

WOOLSEY WET PRAIRIE MITIGATION

SETS PRECEDENT FOR WETLAND MITIGATION

As an extension of the design of the Fayetteville, Arkansas Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant completed by McGoodwin, Williams, and Yates, MWY also provided site planning and design services for the 28-acre Woolsey Wetland Sanctuary mitigation project. Environmental aspects of this project were completed by Environmental Consulting Operations, Inc. of Benton, Arkansas.

MWY completed land surveys to develop drawings with six-inch contour lines; mitigation site layout and hydrological engineering design features, including the installation of water level control structures; and development of a hydrobudget model.

Hydrological modifications were made by construction of earthen berms using spoils generated from construction of the wastewater plant to create a mix of habitats such as wet meadow wetlands, marsh and open water habitat, and forested wetlands.

The wetlands area has since been expanded to encompass 46 acres and has since been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as a certified national wildlife habitat.

JONES CENTER FOR FAMILIES

SITE DESIGN FOR 34-ACREA MULTI-USE FACILITY

MWY provided site planning for the Jones Center Complex in Springdale, situated on a 34-acrea campus-like setting. (MWY did not design the building in this instance.)

The project required the planning and design of the typical infrastructure improvements of access drives, parking areas, water and wastewater facilities, storm drainage, area lighting and sidewalks all integrated into a non-typical intensely landscaped setting.

Site planning involved creating a pleasant outside environment among access and parking facilities for over 750 vehicles. All design elements were arranged in spaces with sufficient allocation to allow for heavy landscaping to minimize the impact of both parked and moving vehicles on the site. A stormwater drainage system was designed to improve the safety and comfort of pedestrians during periods of rainfall.
