Geodetic control is extremely important - especially when your project rests upon a $240 Million budget and spans two states (in this case Arizona & Nevada). Placing improvements of this magnitude on this 1/16th of an inch tolerance project, or on any project requires accurate measurements and sound boundary principals. Placing improvements in the wrong location, on an ajacent neighbor's lands, or in locations where they do not work with the design can be expensive. High Accuracy has no substitute nor is achieving the proficiency to be able to repeatedly perform.
Renewable Energy Construction Projects - SEGS VIII & IX, Harper Lake, CA
ACS' founder was engaged with the last of the U.S. SEGS parabolic trough Solar Energy Generation projects in the late '80's. Mr. Wolf's first construction project in the United States after graduation and service with the United States Army Corps of Engineers was in Harper Lake, California (Kramer Junction area) for Luz Construction Management Corporation. The work concerned the layout of construction design facilities. These facilities continue to transform solar renewable energy into 160 MW of peak electric resources to serve customers across the state of California - the realization of a then visionary approach to sustainable and reliable energy.
Clark County Water Reclamation District Facility - Central Plant South Secondary Facilities - Phase II
AST performed field GPS Static measurement services, processing and adjustments to facilitate the creation of an official CCWRD geodetic spatial control map for the entire Flamingo facility. This experience places ACS in a unique position regarding knowledge and command of spatial aspects to assist in any on-site projects. ACS has performed many services to these facilities. ACS' lead surveyor and engineer, Mr. Nick Carter, PE, LSI, is in a superb position to assist in defining critical aspects Construction Management & plan layout. His experience is invaluable.
Nellis Air Force Base - Privatization of Military Housing Project
Nellis Air Force Base's growth has necessitated the need for expanded, improved and renewed housing. In answer to this requirement, ACS is working with military and non-military officials to demolish and rebuild housing for the entire base operations. The project consists of the erection of single and multifamily residences; the development and restructuring of utility and infrastructure locations including land (legal) decription definition and placement of walls, drainage, community features such as pool and amenities; as well as aerterial and residental roadways. Additionally, this project requires negotiation & networking with and within military security and safety restrictions.
Clark County Parks & Recreation - Las Vegas Wash and Park Improvements
Parks and Recreation are crucial to maintaining harmony within any community and environment. ACS has been involved in many park and recreation area design and construction projects. The most noteworthy of these projects has to be the Las Vegas Wash wetlands project. Services provided stabilization of drainage banks, assistance in the spatial aspects of quality monitoring programs and erosion protection related measurements. This project consists of in excess of 4-miles of restoration of critical natural restorative environment and plant structures which serve to improve water quality and habitat for many species of plants and animals.
