Services

Accura Engineering provided critical surveying and utility mapping services for the construction of new canopies at the North and South terminals of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The project required precise data collection to ensure that the new structures integrated seamlessly with the existing airport infrastructure.

Project Summary

As part of the Landside Modernization (LMOD) project, Accura provided surveying support for the construction of arrival/departure canopies at the North and South terminals, along with renovations to key airport infrastructure.    

Project Goals

  • Accurately locate and verify structural components for canopy installation.
  • Conduct as-built surveys for utility rerouting and site modifications.
  • Establish precision control points for vertical and horizontal alignment.
  • Support airport modernization efforts with detailed field verifications.
 

Precision, Expertise, and Impact in Action

  • Recovered and verified airport control points for accuracy.
  • Conducted high-precision level loops to ensure ¼” accuracy.
  • Provided field-verified column locations for terminal construction.
  • Delivered as-built information for critical infrastructure adjustments.
 

Project Facts

  • Mapped 38 column locations across both terminals for canopy installation.
  • Established secondary control points for project continuity.
  • Ran conventional traverse and digital leveling for precision engineering.
  • Documented project discrepancies through detailed reporting.
 

Challenges We Overcame

  • Navigating complex site conditions within an active airport environment.
  • Ensuring minimal disruption to airport operations during surveying.
  • Aligning project control data with existing infrastructure.
 

The Impact

Accura’s surveying expertise helped facilitate the successful execution of the LMOD project, enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency at the world’s busiest airport.

Our Role in the Mission

Accura played a key role in wetlands delineation, permitting, and environmental surveys to facilitate the repair and expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure. Our comprehensive approach included:

Conducting on-site investigations to assess environmental impact.

Preparing detailed permit applications for:

  • Stream stabilization/restoration across three critical water bodies&
  • The repair, replacement, and construction of new water and wastewater pipelines, including stream and wetland crossings.

Surveying threatened and endangered species, including the rare small whorled pogonia and wood turtle.

Modifying existing permits to meet updated compliance needs.

Challenges We Overcame

Working across the dynamic landscape of Fort Belvoir required:
Conducting compliance inspections under stringent environmental regulations.
Balancing infrastructure needs with environmental preservation.
Addressing multiple stream and wetland impacts (4-5 in total).

The Impact

Our work not only ensured compliance but also played a part in protecting the delicate ecosystem of Fort Belvoir. From securing permits to restoring streams, we enabled the U.S. Army to move forward with confidence, knowing their construction efforts align with their commitment to environmental stewardship.
