STATEMENT OF WORK 

Requisition No. 246548 

Title: Subsurface Investigations, Civil Surveying, and Dome Load Surveying 

Revision Number: 7 

Date: December 31, 2014 

Prior SOW or Revision Date: September 25, 2014 

1.0 Objective: 

Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) is the Tank Operations Contractor (TOC) and 

requires subsurface investigations (ground scanning), civil surveying, and dome deflection 

surveying services to support scheduled work within mission requirements. These services are 

needed in support of WRPS’ prime contract with the U.S Department of Energy 

2.0 Background/Introduction: 

TOC operates and manages the Hanford 200 Area Tank Farm facilities for the U.S. Department 

of Energy-Office of River Protection (ORP). The types of services needed are depicted as these 

basic types of tasks that are performed for tank farms operations, maintenance and projects 

outlined below. 

2.1 Subsurface Investigation/Ground Scan/Survey

A portion of this task will require the subcontractor to conduct subsurface investigations normally 

using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to allow excavations in accordance with DOE Order 

DOE-0344 titled Hanford Site Excavating, Trenching, and Shoring. This Order is applicable to 

employees who participate in planning, permitting, administrating and performing field execution

of excavation work. (Access to this Order is available via the following link. 

http://www.hanford.gov/tocpmm/) 

Subsurface investigations / scans are necessary to detect underground utilities and unknown 

objects that may potentially cause harm to personnel, damage to equipment or disrupt 

environmentally sensitive elements. Therefore, prior to the commencement of excavation or 

drilling work subsurface investigations / scans are needed to establish location, alignment, and 

type of objects in the field. 

Subsurface Investigation may also be required to determine the ground bearing capacity and 

ground or slope stability. Subsurface investigation is used to develop “crossing maps” that show 

the location of buried pipes and structures. These crossing maps are use to determine the safe 

routing for heavy equipment and cranes. Ground bearing capacity is used to determine building 

foundation design criteria and to insure safe load bearing areas for crane outrigger placement. 

Slope stability is required to determine the safe setback distance of surface loads from a slope or 

excavation. 

Scanning services will also be used to locate rebar and objects within concrete walls and 

structures. Concrete core drilling is often planned based on the scan location of the reinforcing 

steel in the concrete.

2.2 Dome Deflection Survey 

TOC requires dome load controls. The procedural requirement for the dome load controls is 

TFC-ENG-FACSUP-C-10, “Control of Dome Loading” which is the basis for the dome 

deflection surveys. The monitoring of the tanks dome by survey is required to physically verify 

the structural integrity of the DST and SST tanks as deflection is a key indicator of structural 

integrity. Dome deflection surveys are performed every two or three years depending on the tank 

farm or they may be performed on an as needed basis. 

2.3 Civil Surveying 

Accurate crane route maps are required to safely move and place cranes within tank farm 

boundaries. A discrepancy in a crane route map identified a need to update tank farm route maps 

Conventional land surveying or laser scan surveys may be required to verify actual field 

conditions. Other general purpose surveys may be necessary such as transfer line location and 

valve pit jumper location. 

The Subcontractor will be required to conduct work in both radiological (estimated to be 40% of 

the work) zones and non-radiological (estimated to be 60% of the work) zones. The 

Subcontractor shall provide reports identifying the results of each task performed. 

3.0 Scope:

Work will be authorized by the TOC and conveyed by Attachment A (noted below). This will 

serve as the statement of work for each subsequent release under this task. Work instruction, 

points of contacts, task durations, and other elements will be provided with this document. 

 Subcontractor shall perform land surveying activities under the direct supervision of the 

subcontractor’s Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) who is licensed and currently registered in the 

State of Washington, with the exception of construction surveying as defined in 4.0 Definitions. 

The PLS shall abide by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), RCW 18.43, and the 

Washington Administrative Code (WAC), WAC 196-27a. WAC 332-120, WAC 332-130, and 

RCW 58 shall be used as guidance. This standard recognizes that most surveying activities are 

not establishing land boundaries or government land office corners and consequently no specific 

Washington State laws or DOE regulations govern the performance of this surveying. Any 

surveying that does establish Hanford Site land boundaries with other private or public land 

owners needs to comply with Washington State laws. This standard does, however, recognize the 

need to provide and maintain Hanford Site geodetic control and to establish the Washington 

Coordinate System (RCW 58.20) on the Hanford Site.

 

 All GPR surveys shall be performed under the supervision of a Registered Professional Engineer. 

In some cases a PLS may also be required if the location of the GPR is by land survey. 

The subcontractor will be responsible to attend pre job work meetings as scheduled by the 

requestor. 

3.1 Subsurface Investigation/Ground Scan/Survey 

Subcontractor shall conduct subsurface investigations/ ground scans and provide land surveying 

services needed to support TOC projects. TOC will be responsible to prepare work packages as 

needed to execute this work. The length, depth and grid size for each scan will be determined and 

conveyed in each subsequent release as awarded by the Buyer. 

TOC will inform the Subcontractor approximately two working days before scanning or 

surveying services are needed. However, there will be times when prior notification time will be 

minimized due to an urgent need for support. When requested, emergent work will require 
3 of 17 

Subcontractor to respond immediately. TOC expects these incidents to be kept to a minimum. 

Subsurface Investigation Task– Support TOC tank farm operations, maintenance, and retrieval 

projects with subsurface investigations for excavations, rebar checks in concrete and preparing 

crossing maps. These tasks will usually include preparation time, subsurface investigations time, 

report generation, and possibly generating crossing maps or H series drawings as the final 

deliverable. 

“High Density” Tasks are more difficult to define and estimate. The field estimate is dependent 

upon the size of the area to be scanned, the location, working conditions, (e.g. in radiation zone), 

and the anticipated complexity of the area to be scanned (e.g. open field with few anticipated 

underground objects versus a high density area with pipes and electrical lines). 

A “High Density” task is defined as one that requires more than 2 days field preparation time 

(more than 16 hours) and usually will require additional support. 

Ground stability, ground bearing capacity for crane placement and ground slope stability may be 

required. This work should include soil evaluation and slope evaluation by a civil or geotechnical 

engineer. 

Additionally, scans will be requested for obstructions, such as but not limited to, rebar within 

walls and concrete cover blocks. These tasks are typically planned out and drawings are provided. 

Equipment associated with subsurface investigations / ground scans includes but is not limited to 

a GPR unit, receiver/processor and printer), Radio Frequency (RF) locator, electromagnetic field 

detector (for energized lines), Global Positioning Sensor, Transits, stakes, and paint. 

3.2 Dome Deflection Surveys 

All Double Shell Tank (DST) and Single Shell Tank (SST) tanks require elevation surveys be 

performed at least every two years or three years. A listing of all the DST and SST tanks in each 

tank farm that require surveys is provided in an attached table. Additional surveys may be 

necessary, depending on the field activities, as requested by TOC’s Civil/Structural Discipline 

Lead Engineer. The DST dome survey program applies to 28 DST’s located in six tank farms 

and the SST dome survey program applies to the 100 series SST’s located in twelve tank farms. 

Perform surveys as directed by the TOC Civil/Structural Discipline Lead Engineer to resolve 

discrepancies in crane route maps. Laser Scan, Field traverse or global positioning system 

methods may be used as directed to provide updated civil site plans to facilitate resolution of 

crane route map discrepancies. 

In general, the dome deflection survey activity will include the following: 

3.2.1 Pre-Survey Planning 

 TOC will provide a schedule to perform the necessary survey of each of the tank farms 

within the required periods. 

 TOC will determine the tank(s) to be surveyed and obtain the Tank Survey Record for 

each tank. The tank survey record will include the relevant tank, control benchmark and 

monument information. 

 Verify that the survey instrument accuracy is within the required tolerances. The survey 

instrument used must have a horizontal sensitivity of 0.3 second of arc, or better and the 

elevation staff shall have a least count scale equivalent to 0.01 feet or less. 
4 of 17 

3.2.2 Field Work 

 Within 48 hours of a scheduled survey, Subcontractor shall contact the Buyer’s Technical 

Representative (BTR) for the purposes of confirming the survey site availability and 

ensuring current environmental conditions will be acceptable for performing the services. 

 Visual check of the control monuments for signs of visible damage or other signs 

indicating questionable integrity. 

 Performance of the primary level loop survey for each tank: (from a primary control 

monument, turn through one bench mark on each tank closing on a control monument). 

 Performance of the secondary level loop survey for each tank: (begin at a bench mark on 

the tank which was part of the primary level loop, then and turn through all available 

bench marks on that tank closing on another bench mark which was part of the primary 

level loop). 

 If deflections are in excess of 0.02 feet notify the BTR and the Civil/Structural 

Engineering Discipline Lead. 

3.2.3 Tank Survey Record & Field Survey Notes 

 Update the Tank Survey Record for each tank. 

 Within two (2) weeks following the completion of the survey, submit the completed field 

survey notes and updated Tank Survey Record using the TOC Incoming Letter of 

Transmittal (form A-6005-315) and to TOC and a copy to the BTR. The field survey 

notes are to include the tank numbers surveyed the date of the survey, crew names, the 

environmental conditions including approximate temperature and wind speed and 

identification of the survey equipment used (including calibration date if applicable).

3.2.4 Reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) 

 Reference Tank Farm dome elevation survey data back to the NAVD88 standard. 

Dome Load Survey Equipment 

The following requirements are necessary to ensure that the required survey tolerances are met: 

 The survey instrument used shall have a horizontal sensitivity of 3.0 second of arc, or better. 

 The elevation staff shall have a least count scale equivalent to 0.01 feet or less.

 All surveys shall be performed in accordance with the survey equipment manufacturer’s 

recommendations to maintain the required accuracy. 

 Survey Tolerance and Errors 

A decrease in benchmark elevation between surveys indicates that a dome deflection may have 

occurred or other survey errors have occurred. It is expected that vertical surveys should be 

repeatable to ±0.02 feet (±0.24 inch). The horizontal control accuracy should be 0.12 – 0.22 feet. 

If a deflection has changed more than ±0.02 feet since the last survey, the survey must be 

repeated to verify the accuracy of the results. Items to check if the tolerance of ±0.02 feet is 

exceeded: 

 Calibration of survey equipment 

 Appropriate survey procedures have been followed 
5 of 17 

 Determination if control monuments have been disturbed or there are other signs indicating 

questionable integrity. 

 Tank benchmarks have been damaged 

 If a dome deflection (see section 3.3) has decreased by more than 0.02 feet and rechecking of 

the survey and survey data has been performed, then immediately notify the BTR and the 

Civil/Structural Discipline Lead Engineer and DST engineering or SST Engineering 

depending on the effected tank farm so the condition can be documented in the Problem 

Evaluation and Reporting (PER) system. 

 Survey Control Monuments and Benchmarks 

Although the tank farm control monuments are not required to meet geodetic control 

requirements, they all are to be referenced back to the geodetic control for the site. 

 As dome surveys are performed, the conditions of the benchmarks are reviewed. If a control 

monument or benchmark is damaged or of questionable integrity, notify the BTR and the 

Civil/Structural Discipline Lead Engineer and DST engineering or SST Engineering 

depending on the effected tank farm so the condition can be documented in the PER system. 

 If necessary, establish the location and elevation of all new monuments or benchmarks. New 

benchmarks or monuments shall be evaluated to validate consistency with the historic survey 

data. 

 Frequency 

Tank Dome Surveys are to be performed on a 2 or 3 years ±2 months frequency. Additional 

surveys may be required when tank dome loading significantly changes or the waste level in the 

tank significantly changes. 

 Expected Deflection 

Deflection of the tank dome of up to approximately 1⁄2 inch is within dome load limits per 

RPP-RPT-25608 Rev. 0. Significant load is required to achieve this degree of deflection. 

Measurable deflection of approximately 1⁄4 inch could be expected. 

Dome deflection can be determined by subtracting the elevation at the center of the dome from 

the elevation at the perimeter of the tank. Settlement of the tank can be determined by subtracting 

the most current elevation at the perimeter of the tank from the first, or oldest, survey elevation at 

the perimeter of the tank. 

Survey Data 

The Tank Survey Record will contain the following information for each tank: 

Tank Benchmark Specific information

The following information shall be recorded on the data sheet for each tank benchmark.

Occasionally new bench marks may be added to the tank. Whenever a bench mark or monument 

is damaged or inaccessible (due to equipment interference, foamed over, etc) the survey report 

shall include a description of the problem along with a photograph. 

Functional Checks and Calibrations

1. Functional checks shall be performed on conventional surveying equipment in accordance 

with manufacturer’s recommendations. 

2. Functional checks shall be performed on GPS equipment at least annually by utilizing a 

National Geodetic Society (NGS) Baseline, or alternatively by collecting data with the base 

receiver on primary permanent horizontal control monument. 

 Data shall be simultaneously collected with the rover receiver on another one of the 

aforementioned control monuments. 

 The GPS data shall be compared to known data. 

3. Calibration shall be performed on conventional surveying equipment per manufacturer’s 

recommendations. 

3.3 Civil Survey Tasks 

3.3.1 Base Requirements 

The scope of this work includes the laser survey or conventional survey for Tank Farms. These 

types of survey may be to: 

 1) verify the location of risers, pits, vaults and all other above grade features in the tank farms 

and collect topographic data as completely and accurately as current technology allows. 

2) establish new project site control 

3) provide High Definition Laser Scanning 

4) provide conventional and GPS surveying 

5) prepare composite drawings using scan data to create a digital base map of tank farm areas 

defined. 

3.3.2 Description of Work 

The survey must be prepared and certified (stamped, signed and dated) by a Washington PLS 

with current registration. 

Control surveys will be completed for the recovery and verification of existing published control 
7 of 17 

points. New control may be required to be established at each project site. New stations shall 

preferably be semi-permanent monuments (i.e. brass cap set in concrete, stamping on 

steel/concrete structures, etc.) and approved by WRPS. Horizontal values are to be established by 

either static GPS methods or conventional closed loop traverse. 

Elevations will be established with digital bar-coded closed level loops. The maps and drawings 

shall be based on Washington State Planar Coordinates and shall be converted to 200 East 

Coordinates for AY and AZ Farms, and to 200 West Coordinates for SY Farm. The conversion 

formulas for 200 East and 200 West Areas will be provided. 

Topographic surveys shall be performed as necessary. The vertical datum shall be based on 

NAVD88 in U.S. Feet. Sufficient surface elevations shall be measured to define the contour 

interval required on the drawings and to define all breaks in the terrain. The topographic surveys 

shall be performed to produce maps with surface contours of 0.5 foot of vertical relief. Contours 

shall be designated with elevation labels every 2.5 feet. Spot elevations shall be included on the 

drawings. The Horizontal datum shall be based on NAD 83/91 Washington State Plane South 

Zone in U.S. Feet. 

 The Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) base map shall be a three dimensional base 

drawing of current site configurations with the ability to be updated with future site changes. A 

three dimensional model of the structure will be incorporated into the project base CAD drawings 

 The desired accuracy of all hard surface horizontal and vertical locations will be identified on a 

case by case basis. Normally the field structures location require an accuracy of ±0.10 foot 

relative to nearest control; this includes but is not limited to, risers, tank penetrations, mechanical 

equipment, and soft features such as ground or flush features. Pertinent data and information 

such as, but not limited to: risers, pits vaults, paved surfaces, fences, power poles, walkways, 

visible surface indications of underground utilities (i.e. manholes, valve boxes, fire hydrants, 

electrical junction boxes, etc.), culverts (type and size), any permanent structure, power poles 

with noted low-wire elevations (at pole and sag), and all other features shall be shown on the 

drawings for submittal, in accordance with this specification. The accuracy of pits and nozzle 

connectors may need to be to an accuracy of ±0.015 inches. 

Subcontractor will use laser scanning techniques from outside the tank farm fence to the extent 

practicable and state the horizontal and vertical level of accuracy achievable. Conventional 

surveying techniques (other than laser scanning) can be used from inside the tank farm fences to 

survey. 

3.3.3 Equipment Specifications for GPS or Conventional Survey 

The equipment used for these tasks will be approved by the buyer on a case by case basis. There 

are conditions where accuracy is not critical and lower quality equipment may be acceptable. 

Alternatively, accuracy may be critical and the equipment type and accuracy will be important 

and therefore evaluated, reviewed and approved. 

3.3.4 Equipment Specifications for Laser Scanning

7.3 Applicable ES&H Requirements: 

On Site Work Provisions apply to this SOW. 

Preliminary hazard assessment PHA ID: 32 is to be used for general office duties performed in 

TOC-controlled office facilities and/or observations/walkthroughs in tank farm non-radiological 

and radiological areas, including soil contamination areas and buffer areas, requiring a General 

(Not Specific) Radiological Work Permit (RWP) only. Observation activities only are allowed; 

no hands-on work activities may be performed. No ladder/scaffolding access is allowed. Prior to 

performing any other activities, a job hazard analysis (JHA) must be completed to cover the 

activities to be performed and approved by a TOC Safety Professional. 

In addition to the requirements set forth herein, Subcontractor shall comply with all current TOC 

environmental, safety, and health procedures that apply to companies and persons performing 

work either on the Hanford Site or on TOC controlled premises. In the event there is a conflict 

between the provisions of this document and the safety and health regulations or procedures, the 

more stringent provision shall apply. 

8.0 Verification/Hold Points: 

Individual hold points, as required, will be defined in each applicable field work package 

specified in subsequent contract releases under this Blanket Master Agreement (BMA). 

Hold points for these activities will be specifically identified in the form of written review 

comments from the requestors on the various deliverables. These shall require documented 

resolution, satisfactory to the comment originator, before comment closure and final approval of 

each deliverable. In case any comments cannot be satisfactorily resolved with the originator the 

BTR reserves the right to make a final determination on comment disposition and closure based 

on the needs of the project and requirements of this SOW. If such a case arises, the BTR will 

document the decision and remove the hold point.
