Part of the project’s scope required the crew to obtain Topographic and Scanning above-ground information, plat, and right-of-way determination, .SID aerial underlay, and underground information. CPC was also chosen to continue to provide surveying and other services in connection with the construction of overhead and underground electric lines, substation, and miscellaneous property surveys to FPL in regions spanning the entire east coast of Florida. Providing surveying from Miami to the Florida-Georgia border is a result of the exceptional performance from CPC staff in the field and office.
