Project Name:
City of Kirkland Vertical Control Survey


Jurisdiction:

City of Kirkland

Services Provided:
Project Management
Surveying

Location:
Kirkland, Washington

Project Description:
Triad Associates’ surveyors worked with the City of Kirkland to establish NAVD 1988, 2nd Order, 1st Class elevations on approximately 70 monuments in the city. A comprehensive vertical control network did not exist within the City of Kirkland until this project was completed. The need for the project came into focus because: 1.) FEMA is adopting NAVD 88’ as the vertical datum for their Map Modernization program that will update all the flood hazard maps in the United States, and 2.) King County and the Cities of Bellevue and Redmond are using NAVD 88’ as the vertical datum for their vertical control networks. Using a common vertical datum will facilitate an easier exchange of utilities and transportation systems data among the neighboring jurisdictions.
