When IKEA of New Haven made the decision to install their first biogas-powered fuel cell, Franklin Surveys was called on to provide comprehensive land surveying services throughout the project. A fuel cell converts chemical energy from fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction process as opposed to one that involves combustion.
Upon completion of a significant construction project, it is prudent (and often, required) to hire a professional land surveyor to perform an as-built survey. In general, the purpose of an as-built is to document the post-construction conditions in a graphic format. In Connecticut, the State Standards for Surveys and Maps classify this type of survey as an Improvement Location Survey.
The Pond Lily Dam was built on the West River to serve a 1700’s-era mill at the site. The West River Restoration Project, administered by Connecticut Fund for the Environment, was intended to re-open channels for migratory fish by removing the dam which is no longer serving a purpose. Please see the before and after pictures as the project moved forward. Note the modern-era fish ladder in the foreground of the dam.
Kevin Franklin has been the Project Manager for land surveying services over the course of 2 years for the East Hartford Flood Control System.
