GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS (GPS): Surveys are used where practical and
applicable for geodetic and hydrographic surveys. In addition to GPS,
the firm has the capability to ***use state-of-the-art total surveying
stations*** with automatic data recorders. These instruments allow field
crews to capture digital data in the field, readily download into
computers for on-site computations, and review information while crews
are still on site.

AM/FM/GIS (Automated Mapping/Facilities Management/Geographic
Information Systems): Lowe Engineers' staff has been pioneers in the
Automated Mapping, Facilities Management, and Geographic Information
Systems (AM/FM/GIS) business since the early 1980s. Additionally,
because of our full service capabilities -- to include engineers,
surveyors and mappers -- we have the ability to provide all aspects of
an AM/FM/GIS project. Capabilities and services include landbase
creation; aboveground and below ground utility location; utility
inventory, mapping, planning; and design; graphic and non-graphic design
and development; stereodigitization and map compilation; scanning; and
conversion.

######## *PHOTOGRAMMETRY:* Lowe Engineers' professional staff has provided aerial mapping and photogrammetry services including digital mapping, orthophotography, analytical aerial triangulation, cadastral, planimetric, and topographic mapping for **over 45 years**. Our photogrammetry, computer, CADD, and cartographic specialists provide complete mapping services utilizing efficient analytical stereoplotters and various computer software programs and hardware peripherals to output deliverables in paper, film, and customized digital formats to meet clients' needs. Imagery can be provided in both digital and conventional forms including orthographically rectified raster and hardcopy formats. Conventional imagery includes natural color, color infrared, black and white infrared, and panchromatic.  {#photogrammetry-lowe-engineers-professional-staff-has-provided-aerial-mapping-and-photogrammetry-services-including-digital-mapping-orthophotography-analytical-aerial-triangulation-cadastral-planimetric-and-topographic-mapping-for-over-45-years.-our-photogrammetry-computer-cadd-and-cartographic-specialists-provide-complete-mapping-services-utilizing-efficient-analytical-stereoplotters-and-various-computer-software-programs-and-hardware-peripherals-to-output-deliverables-in-paper-film-and-customized-digital-formats-to-meet-clients-needs.-imagery-can-be-provided-in-both-digital-and-conventional-forms-including-orthographically-rectified-raster-and-hardcopy-formats.-conventional-imagery-includes-natural-color-color-infrared-black-and-white-infrared-and-panchromatic. .unnumbered}

Recent experience includes:

HARTSFIELD-JACKSON ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT -- Atlanta, GA

City of Atlanta/Aviation Consulting Engineers

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="2.4305555555555554in"
height="1.6708333333333334in"}Burt Cohen, 404.853.6800

*Project Value*: \$200K

*SIN*: 899-7

Lowe Engineers has been involved in a wide variety of projects at
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (HJAIA) working with
Aviation Consulting Engineers (ACE) and the City of Atlanta. These
projects have involved transitioning the airport into managing their
data spatially. The final deliverables have been submitted in the
industry standard GIS format (ESRI shape file). In addition to providing
data, Lowe Engineers has given several presentations regarding their
work to the DOA, ACE, and at the 2001 AAAE GIS Conference. Lowe
Engineers also provided GIS training and continual support to airport
personnel.

Lowe Engineers completed the following tasks on this complex
infrastructure and database project:

-   **New Color and Black and White Aerial Photography**. New
    photography was flown of approximately 10,000 acres to be used for
    conventional mapping on the stereoplotter as well as for use in the
    database preparation using ARC-Info.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **GPS Control Surveys**. GPS surveys were performed to establish
    coordinates and elevations for multiple datums (airport grid, WGS84,
    ITRF). GPS RTK surveys were also performed on utilities and other
    infrastructure.

-   ![](media/image3.jpeg){width="2.263888888888889in"
    height="1.5576388888888888in"}**MicroStation Mapping/GIS**. To date,
    the database that Lowe created has more than 20,000 utility points,
    more than 40,000 GPS RTK infrastructure points, and more than 24,000
    parcels with each parcel having the capability of 200 fields per
    parcel.

-   **Obstruction Mapping**. Lowe Engineers updated HJAIA's Air
    Obstruction Charts, and Plan and Profile Sheets using
    photogrammetric methods. The airport's entire Air Obstruction
    surface, approximately 35,000 acres, was flown using 1\"=800\' black
    and white aerial photography. Additional photography was flown at
    1\"=333\', which Lowe used to provide the 1\"=50\' base maps for
    HJAIA's main property, was also used to update the Obstruction data.
    Aerial Triangulation of the photography and compilation of the
    Obstruction charts were performed using high order Zeiss P3 stereo
    plotters.

-   **Utilities Geographic Information System**. Lowe Engineers has
    submitted a set of GIS-based utility files to ACE. A 1" = 50'
    planametric base map of the entire airport was created using 1" =
    333' scale photography. Over 20,000 individual survey points were
    collected as part of the utility mapping effort. The data associated
    with these points was used in conjunction with existing maps to
    create themes for the following utilities: electric, FAA, fire,
    fuel, gas, sanitary, storm, telephone, and water.

C.W. Matthews

Al Eckford, 770.442.4520

*Project Value:* \$1M

*SIN:* 899-7

Lowe Engineers performed complete construction stakeout and data
collection of existing conditions for this large 138-acre (hazardous
site) development in downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Tasks included the field location of old utilities and entering the
existing field conditions into a GIS database. Projects also included
the stakeout location of new improvements, utilities, and other
infrastructure. Utilities locations included stormwater, sewer, gas,
electrical, cable, fiber optic, telephone, and water. All of the
existing data was merged with new improvements for a complete GIS
database.

![](media/image5.png){width="3.0555555555555554in"
height="2.3055555555555554in"}

Because this site was constructed on a hazardous landfill, Lowe
employees were subject to periodic medical monitoring. OSHA managed this
job site. Our crews conducted safety tailgate strategy sessions before
every new project.

GIS DATABASE NAME AND LOCATION FOR PAULDING COUNTY -- Dallas, GA

Paulding County Government

Pat Westbrook, 770.505.1352

Project Value: \$1.5M

SIN: 899-7

Paulding County is one of the fastest growing counties in the
metropolitan Atlanta area. In order to keep up with the fast growth and
large amount of development and infrastructure improvements, Paulding
County selected Lowe Engineers to perform a complete Geographic
Information System of the entire county. The project started in 2001
with the monumentation and GPS observation of more than 200 horizontal
and vertical control points spread across the county. Aerial photography
was used to prepare digital topographic data broken out by tiles, or map
sections, starting on the last side of the county and working westerly.

Road intersections, utilities, and other infrastructure were located
using photography. Field checks and data accuracy checks were performed
using Pro XR GPS receivers and RTK methods.

![](media/image6.png){width="2.4305555555555554in" height="1.875in"}All
data was prepared digitally in ARCVIEW and ARC GIS format. Additionally,
all cadastral land records were cataloged and registered into the GIS.
The county-wide GIS, GPS, and other digital data are currently being
used by all sectors of the Paulding County Government.

The GIS database includes LIDAR topographic data, aerial mapping
topographic data, field-located utility and infrastructure data, and
other information to support all county government functions.
