This is performed by two different companies(Aerial Photogrametric Survey by Towill, Inc.) and the GPS by Fairway Irrigation Design)that together assemble the final as-built document information. The information is then translated into the irrigation system's computer to provide an AutoCAD format for control, review, manipulation and documentation of the entire system. The superintendent can then operate and/or locate any irrigation valve, sprinkler heads,or irrigation lines(within the entire project) from the main control room of the Maintenance Facility. This maximizes efficiency of operation and minimizes any mistake excavations on the project to locate underground facilities. Fairway Irrigation Design (Palm Desert)performs the ground GPS Survey portion of this activity and is the only local company capable of doing so. They combine their efforts with an Aerial Photogrametric Survey performed and provided by Towill, Inc. (Carlsbad)and the subject of the associated staff report).
