Projects

HANNIBAL BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS 161k TRANSMISSION LINE

Hannibal Board of Public Works; Heath Hall Date: 2007-2008

This project included preparing exhibits for two preliminary routes, determining existing ground terrain and obstacles for both routes and the number of easements required for each route.

Easement documents and exhibits were prepared for the Board of Public Works to use in their negotiation process and property appraisals.

Upon acquisition of all easements by the Board of Public Works, the surveying of the route commenced. The survey profiled 6.2 miles of transmission line route along with determining section and property lines, all trees over 12” in diameter within the 50 foot wide easement, and any structures near the easement.
