Location: Syracuse, NY
Owner/Client: Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection
Date of Survey: 2001
Project Description:
Bryant Associates, P.C. performed the field survey and base mapping for the design and upgrade of the $100 million Syracuse Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant. Critical plant elevations were measured for use in preparing a hydraulic profile of the existing plant. The topographic survey located physical features such as roads, signs, lights, manholes, catch basins, along with buried and above ground utilities.
Owner/Client: New York State Department of Transportation
Date of Survey: 2000
Project Description:
Bryant Associates, P.C. performed the design survey and mapping for five bridges on NY Route 3 in Oswego County. Channel survey was also performed for all five bridges, which was used to generate HEC-RAS water surface profiles and channel sections.
The channel overbanks were very flat, and required extra wide sections for proper backwater modeling. Bryant recommended the use of GPS instead of traditional survey methods, which ultimately saved the client $40,000 in survey fees.
Location: Caughdenoy, New York
Owner/Client: New York State Canal Corporation
Date of Survey: 1998
Project Description:
Bryant Associates, P.C. performed a topographic and hydrographic survey for an area 400 feet downstream and 2200 feet upstream of the dam. Subsurface elevations were measured using electronically recorded soundings and GPS technology. Over 1800 subsurface elevations were measured in four hours using this technology. These measurements were later confirmed using conventional sounding equipment. The soundings were taken in the backwater above the dam, along an old canal and within a marina. Bryant Associates, P.C. was able to provide the New York Canal Corporation with a very accurate map showing the bottom contours of the area at a low cost.

Project: Emergency
Scour Repairs
Owner/Client: Wyoming County Department of Highways
Project Description:
Bryant Associates, P.C. was engaged by the Wyoming County Highway Department
to inspect three bridge structures, devise procedures for repair, prepare
repair plans and environmental permits, and perform the field inspection.

damage caused by flooding. Due to the severity of the damage, the NYSDOT
red-flagged and closed Sheldon Bridge No. 18, Bennington Bridge No. 8,
and Arcade Bridge No. 3. Due to the difficulty in accessing many of the
voided areas, various repair procedures utilizing grout filled bags and
pumpable concrete were developed. Stone fill was placed to provide for
future scour protection. These structures were reopened to traffic within
six to eight weeks after the flood.
