active billing reports and data files for client review.
Design Topo for Gas and Oil Pads – Carlsbad, NM
Traveled to proposed construction areas. Took measurements in 50-foot grid intervals. Routed pipelines from one proposed site to another per given information.
Submitted data and field notes on a daily basis. Checked with project management to verify any abnormalities.
El Paso Sasabe Pipeline – Tucson, AZ
Established static control network. Took measurements with GPS and total station. Staked preliminary design plan and adjust in field to account for new construction.
Searched for property and section corners as needed. Checked with project management to verify any abnormalities.
Greencor Pipeline – Wyoming
Staked construction ROW and work spaces from given design blueprints and data. Worked with inspectors and contractors to acquire needed pipeline as-built
information. Tracked pipe information and location. Responsible charge for all mainline information while assigned to project.
