Monteith & Sutherland crews work with CRS Tunnelling Canada project team to ensure the microtunnelling of the 1200mm storm sewer at Dixie-QEW is going per design alignment.
Precise traversing, while crawling, bending and crouching, and carrying the survey equipment all the way to the heading in and back to the portal is a very demanding task. Our crews do an outstanding job, delivering excellent surveys data sets, and performing all tasks in a safe manner.
Monteith and Sutherland crews worked on a comprehensive survey for the TTC‘s Bloor-Yonge and Pape stations.
Soheil Namdari, pictured above, lead one of the Survey crews completing the control and topographic surveys at Pape Station. The survey crews performed precise traversing and levelling from local City of Toronto control monuments to Pape station. A street-level topopgraphic survey around Pape Station was completed for future planning purposes. We also searched for boundary evidence and completed a cadastral survey to confirm the Pape Station property limits.
At Bloor-Yonge Station project, the crews traversed and levelled from local City of Toronto control monuments to platform level, and then into the tunnels. The control network was then adjusted and used to coordinate the High-Definition Laser Scanning campaign. The challenge of the project has been the time constraints and limited work windows to ensure regular TTC services are not impacted. The use of a HD-scanner was imperative to get big volumes of detailed data as quickly as possible. Our Leica P40 Leica scanner is very quick and of the high precision.
From the design of complex geodetic networks through control surveys, gyroscopic verifications, monitoring, hydrographic surveying, detailed topo and HDL Scanning to UAV mapping, at Monteith & Sutherland we have expert personnel and precise equipment to provide trusted results. Monteith & Sutherland: Complete Geospatial Solutions.
Monteith & Sutherland have been proud partners of Metrolinx, and provide high precision survey services in challenging conditions. In this particular project – performing differential levelling, total station traverses, gyroscopic verification surveys, and High Definition Laser Scanning for our client.
Monteith & Sutherland Team is providing tunnel surveying support to CRS-Dibco JV at Mill Woods Double Barrel Trunk Sewer Upgrade Project, Tunnelling Phase, 23 Avenue NW, Edmonton. Our services include precise traversing and TACS guidance system operation, as well as surface settlement monitoring along the tunnelling operations path.
