"Geodetic and Control Surveying" This manual provides detailed technical guidance and procedures for compliance with the policy in Engineer Regulation (ER) 1110-1-8156. That regulation establishes general criteria and presents policy and guidance for the acquisition, processing, storage, distribution, and utilization of non-tactical geospatial data throughout the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and in compliance with Executive Order (EO) 12906, Coordinating Geographic Data Acquisition and Access: The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and other appropriate standards, including the Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS)/Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 173, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) standards, and Tri- Service Spatial Data Standards (TSSDS). This manual also provides detailed technical guidance and requirements and identifies standards for Geospatial Data and Systems (GD&S). By using this manual, USACE will maximize its use of GD&S technologies; will promote interoperability among GD&S technologies; will reduce duplication of geospatial data collection and software development; will support the digital geospatial data life cycle; and will strengthen the USACE role in the NSDI. Abbreviations and acronyms used in this publication are 7. "Geospatial Data and Systems" A geodetic control survey consists of establishing the horizontal and vertical positions of points for the control of a project or installation site, map, GIS, or study area. These surveys establish threedimensional point positions of fixed monuments, which then can provide the primary reference for subsequent engineering and construction projects. These control points also provide the basic framework from which detailed site plan topographic mapping, boundary demarcation, and construction alignment work can be performed. Precisely controlled monuments are also established to position marine construction vessels supporting the Corps navigation mission-e.g., the continuous positioning of dredges and survey boats. Geodetic control survey techniques are also used to effectively and efficiently monitor and evaluate external deformations in large structures, such as locks and dams. 8."Engineering and Design - Structural Deformation Surveying" The primary emphasis of this manual is placed on the technical procedures for performing precise monitoring surveys in support of the Corps periodic inspection and dam safety programs. General planning criteria, field and office execution procedures, data reduction and adjustment methods, and required accuracy specifications for performing structural deformation surveys are provided. These techniques are applicable to periodic monitoring surveys on earth and rock-fill dams, embankments, and concrete structures. This manual covers both conventional (terrestrial) and satellite (GPS) deformation survey methods used for measuring external movements. This manual does not cover instrumentation required to measure internal loads, stresses, strains, or pressures within a structure-refer to the references at Appendix A for these activities. Example applications on Corps projects are provided at Appendix B (Deformation Surveys of Locks and Dams) and Appendix C (Monitoring Schemes for Concrete Dams). The manual is intended to be a reference guide for structural deformation surveying, whether performed by in-house hired-labor forces, contracted forces, or combinations thereof. This manual should be directly referenced in the scopes of work for Architect-Engineer (A-E) survey services or other third-party All material in Adobe PDF format.
