D&K provided survey services over a 5-year period in support of project work assignments issued under the NRCS Vermont and New Hampshire retainer contracts. Design services included civil engineering for roofed barnyard structures, streambank restorations, water supply ponds, and concrete waste storage facilities for agricultural facilities throughout Vermont and New Hampshire.

D&K survey services associated with these assignments consisted of: field topographic and bathymetric surveys, boundary survey, deed research and property plats, base map preparation, setting monuments and witness posts, three-dimensional ground terrain models, and horizontal and vertical controls. Parcels ranged from one to three acres. Several project sites involved difficult terrain. Work was completed following NRCS Survey Standards and guidelines established under the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) and EQIP Program. Required coordination with the local NRCS WRP Program Manager/Biologist.

Civil/site engineering for design and construction phase services for the Department of Labor’s 1,600,000 sf Job Corps Center. The campus is located on a steep, wooded 20-acre site and consists of two dormitories, an educational building, a cafeteria, an administration building, a welcome center, a recreational building, parking, roadways, and walkways.

Complete survey and civil/site services included permitting and design for utilities, access roadways, sidewalks, exterior lighting, retaining structures, and landscape architecture. Site design for this fast-track project was completed in 10 months. The total project cost is $34 million.

The D&K survey crew tied into existing boundary corners and conducted topographic survey to obtain 1 ft contour intervals on this 20 acre wooded parcel. Survey was developed into a 3D model base plan to assist the design team performing visual concept design and permitting.
