ABNA offers several services to assist in the management and execution of heavy construction projects, airports in particular.  From 1999 to 2001, worked on several construction projects at Lambert International Airport.  ABNA provided verification and quantity measurement services eleven taxiways and 2 terminal aprons, and 2 ¼ miles of construction staking for the new Glycol Deicing collection system. 

In the last 2 years we have established close to 50 miles of control networks for Bi-State’s mass transit expansion in Illinois and Missouri and for MoDOT’s new ITS system.  ABNA is currently providing construction staking and material’s testing for two major grading packages associated with the Lambert Airport Expansion program in St. Louis.

Surveying Project Experience

Lindbergh Corridor-General Grading, Area A Package 2
Completion Date: Dec 2002
Const. Value: $19,100,000

ABNA is providing professional services to the contractor completing one of the general grading contracts associated with the expansion of St. Louis Lambert International Airport.  ABNA’s responsibilities include construction staking, materials testing, and geotechnical services.  ABNA’s Director of Surveying, Aaron Hutson, is supervising the elements requiring construction staking including volume control surveys, roadways, storm ditches, sediment basins, storm sewers, retaining walls, modular block walls, and site grading.  Abe Adewale is the overall project manager and supervises personnel providing materials testing and geotechnical services. 

Glycol Deicing Runoff System
Completion Date: Sep 1999
Const. Value: $13,000,000

ABNA provided line and grade to the contractor installing the 2 ¼ mile piping system to catch deicing chemical runoff from the taxiways and aprons at St. Louis Lambert Airport.  The system included the force main, a new storm sewer network and electrical and mechanical manholes. The surveying was conducted on the airfield and across Interstate 170.  ABNA also staked the location of the holding tank.  We were also asked to provide some field engineering when the line and direction of the pipe system did not fit the field conditions.  ABNA executed these duties for day and night operations.

I-270 Control and Topo survey for ITS sites
Completion Date: May 2002
Const. Value: $10,000,000

This project involves establishing a 30-mile control network along I-270 for the installation of several ITS units.  The control network will be established utilizing GPS instrumentation.  Once the network is established ABNA will locate the sites for the ITS equipment.

Taxiways & Apron Reconstruction
Completion Date:  1999-2001
Construction Value: $21,000,000

ABNA provided as-built surveys and construction inspection services for three separate projects. ABNA surveyed all pavements including taxiway, apron, and access roads to ensure compliance with contract plans and specifications.  ABNA also provided personnel for inspection and materials testing of night time construction operations.

Illinois Route 3 Relocation
Const. Value:  $80 million

Responsibilities include design of relocated St. Clair Avenue and Eagle Park Drive and surveys associated with the Route 3 main alignment.  Both are 2-lane roads, 3800’ feet long, and will involve completely new construction. Design elements include horizontal alignment, vertical profile, drainage, striping, and signage.

Metrolink Cross County Extension
Completion Date: May 2002
Const. Value: $555,000,000

The program manager hired ABNA to establish the coordinate position of “second-order” monumentation markers for the entire 8-mile light rail extension section.  Fifteen (15) 1st order monuments were set.  Approximately 100 2nd order monuments 500’ apart along the 8-mile alignment.  ABNA provided route surveys for the alignment.  Also provided boundary surveys to establish ROW for the alignment.  ABNA prepared ROW plats to document ROW takings.  A monumentation manual was also developed by ABNA.

Metrolink St. Clair County Extension (Legs I, II, & III)
Completion Date: Sep 2001
Const. Value: $45,000,000

The program manager hired ABNA to establish the coordinate position of “second-order” monumentation markers set by the contractor.  Ten (10) 1st order monuments were used to set approximately 190 2nd order monuments 500’ apart along the 18-mile alignment.  Because the monument markers were set by the contractor, we were required to work on call and keep pace with the schedule of the contractor.

Control Survey for Highways 367 and 180
Completion Date: Jul 2000
Const. Value: $450,000
