  14. IPL Section 15-2 - Year: 2013 Prime Consultant: KBR, Inc. To address the demand for additional water supplies, the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) and the City of Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) have partnered to design, build, and operate a raw water infrastructure to tap into existing sources. By sharing resources, the Integrated Pipeline Project (IPL) will save an estimated $500 million in capital expenses and potentially $1 billion in energy savings over the life of the project. TAS was selected with the KBR team to provide CAD and GIS technical support for preliminary and final design phases of the project. TAS utilizes AutoCAD Civil 3D to prepare horizontal and vertical alignments base files as well as sheet files for plan and profile and construction details. TAS utilizes ESRI ArcGIS for geodatabase building, geospatial data planning, analysis, research and reports.
  15. Dallas Southwest Water Transmission Pipeline - Year: 2008 Prime Consultant: AECOM Dallas Water Utilities required the study of a new water transmission pipeline route from the Eastside WTP to the Summit ground storage reservoirs, a distance of approximately 30 miles, and the planning and preliminary design of approximately 16 miles of 120/96 inch water transmission pipeline. The alignment alternatives route through both large parcels of land and confined street right-of ways, and included several locations of tunnels, several creek crossings, deep crossing of the Trinity River and 2 railroad right-of way crossings. Technical Associates Services (TAS) provided Cad and GIS production support for planning and design phases of this project. Tasks involves; Preparation of; presentation scrolls of various horizontal alignment alternatives, using large aerial photographic images and GIS mapping data, Plan and profile of various alignment alternatives and plan and profile of recommended alignment. Also, investigated and reviewed various city’s utility record plans and franchise utility record plans for use in planning phase of the project. The preliminary design report included the use of; large aerial photographic images, large topographic survey base files and land parcel survey files to create various land acquisition exhibits, large scrolls for proposed final alignment right-of-way exhibits, and plan & profile drawing sheets. TAS utilizes Microstation cad format and Autodesk Civil 3D to prepare topographic base files as well as horizontal and vertical alignments base files, and ESRI ArcGIS for GIS data planning and research.
