When the CH2M HILL survey team set out to map the City of Woodburn, Oregon’s 1,500 sewer manholes, the challenge was to gather and organize a varied group of data with a limited budget. For each manhole the client wanted: the pipe invert elevation; pipe size and type; documentation of condition; amount of debris; and photos. A traditional approach would have generated an inordinate number of notes that would have been difficult to organize and deliver within budget. After considering various products, the team chose Leica MobileMatriX on ArcGIS, a survey software that provided the team with geographic information system (GIS) capabilities and survey-grade accuracy in the field. The field integration of GIS enabled the team to complete all fieldwork 16 days ahead of schedule and 25 % under budget even while using MobileMatriX for the first time.
