Work Experience

Survey Party Chief

Hunt Guillot & Associates - Ruston, LA

September 2017 to October 2017

I lead a ( 3) person Survey Team In South West Texas near Catarina, Texas to do a Preliminary survey for a pipeline layout. We used Trimble TSC 3 with the R 8 Base & Rover. Ran RTK & Infill to get our control points. We used the " Edge Of Vegetation " for our Base Line and staked a line between ( 2 ) points. We then set R.O.W 25' from the edge, C/L @ 50' & our last R.O.W. was 75' off of our base line. This Project was called, " Noble Gates ". It was off of HWY 2688 near Catarina, Texas. I along with my Instrument person completed this project and the client at that time had no desire for additional need for mapping. So HGA laid us off. We now await our next project with them or a new avenue. Keep on keeping on. We all know how this business Is, wide open or Stop. Survey Party Chief
