Lake at Lakemont Park

Responsibilities

  • Bathymetric Survey

Owner

Lakemont Park, Blair County

Project Details

Keller Engineers performed a bathymetric survey of the 13-acre lake at Lakemont Park.

A bathymetric survey is conducted by using standard survey grade GPS equipment, which acquires satellite signals to the GPS head attached to a boat.

An echosounder transducer transmitted a pulse straight down until it hits a solid surface, such as the bottom of the lake or the top of sediment. The coordinates for that bottom point are then calculated automatically from both the GPS readings and transducer measurements and the result is then stored in the survey data collector.

The information taken from this survey was given to our Land Development team to:

  • prepare the design plans needed to remove accumulated sediment from the lake
  • obtain the necessary permits required under the Clean Water Act from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Additionally, the survey data will be used to estimate both the volume of sediment to be removed and the volume of the lake.

We are very proud of our new office addition. Keller Engineers provided excellent guidance and support throughout our building project, which included key elements such as: structural recommendations, land development, environmental planning, and a beautiful rain garden. We knew we could trust the expertise of Adam Long, RLA and Brian Smith, PE in helping us create a practical and beautiful building and streetscape that enhances our neighborhood and the community.
