Planning and Performing Surveys on Megaproject

Abstract
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District started the Milwaukee Water Pollution Abatement Program in the summer of 1977. The program is in its tenth year with completion scheduled for 1992. Technical memorandums were developed for the Milwaukee program as guidelines for the various disciplines providing services. Two such technical memorandums for surveying and mapping work were developed and adopted by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District in 1978. Technical Memorandum 5/1–2, Survey and Mapping Guidelines, is an administrative guide for managing surveying and mapping activities. Technical Memorandum 5/2–12, Technical Instructions for Surveying and Mapping, is a guide for those performing surveying and mapping work. Key elements of the guidelines used in performing the surveys for the program are presented.
