<P>26The Military Engineer L January-February L 2010 introduced to the Trimble S-6, a rather sophisticated piece of surveying equip- ment, just two months ago during turn- over. Yet with little more than their own on-the-job training, the engineering aides have become pro?cient in its use. At the expansion site, the survey be- gins by connecting the base to the con- troller of the S-6 via Bluetooth. Once connected, the controller is moved to each of the two known points and their elevations are entered. This process, called a resection, allows the base to know its elevation and coordinate. The surveyors can then ?nd the elevations of unknown points. Once weve entered the coordinates of each point into the controller and synchronized it to the base, the con- troller will lead us to the desired point using line-of-sight technology. Ill set the pole, level it out and press the but- ton, and the base tells the controller the elevation, said Engineering Aid 2nd Class Adolfo Valdez, USN. All you have to do is click and measure whatever points you want into the ma- chine, and it will actually take you right where its supposed to be and its pretty accurate, added Spc. Quintanilla. Using line-of-sight technology in the desert where frequent and unan- nounced sand storms blow through is sometimes challenging, but after a number of long walks across the un- even sand entering elevation points, Valdez and his crew gather the informa- tion they need. Before the survey is complete and the information is uploaded, the team will have walked nearly every foot of the 21-acre site, placing 500 stakes to mark off the main road. Back in the of?ce, the S-6 is connected to a sophisticated computer program, Terramodel, which provides a visual representation of the site once the coordinates and elevations from the survey points are uploaded. The software is made speci?cally to complement the controller, said En- gineering Aide 2nd Class Asdru Arana, USN, Leading Petty Of?cer. The Ter- ramodel program shows elevations and depressions, which show us how much dirt we need to bring in or cut, to achieve proper drainage for our roads and plot. With the printout from the program, called a site plan, NMCB-74s Alfa Com- pany, which operates earthmoving equipment, is provided with an accurate representation of the sites topography. The earthmovers know how much dirt must be removed or added to construct the camp site and road according to the site plan; however, even after the site plan is provided to Alfa Company, the survey teams work is not complete. It is vitally necessary for surveyors to be on site to take elevations as the work pro- gresses to ensure the ?nal pad or slope of the road are constructed according to speci?cations. The importance of surveying, as the ?rst step in the building process, is im- mense. An accurate survey leads to a sure foundation and a new functioning camp for NMCB-74. (Contributed By MC1 Ryan G. Wilber, USN, NMCB-74 Public Affairs) Ohio National Guard Engineers Help Refurbish Serbian Schools Ohio National Guard soldiers and airmen, along with members of the Serbian armed forces, are remodeling schools throughout Serbia. The Ohio Army National Guards 1194th Engi- neer Company and the Ohio Air Na- tional Guards 200th Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers (RED HORSE) are currently helping to refurbish schools in Sokobanja, Lapovo and Prokuplje as part of the National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program. The program sup- ports the U.S. European Commands military-to-military exchange program designed to facilitate familiarization with the operations of the U.S. armed forces. Ohios partnership with Serbia began in September 2006. The RED HORSE team is working in conjunction with the Serbian military to add insulation and improve the fa- cade of the Neven Elementary School in Prokuplje. The troops will remove a stucco ?nish from the schools outside wall, then apply a primer to clean and provide a solid base on which to apply a layer of mortar. On top of the ?rst mortar layer, a layer of Styrofoam insulation will be applied, followed by another layer of mortar and, ?nally, a stucco ?nish. Pavlovic Dusanka, Principal at the Neven Elementary School, said the school had problems with the facade, windows, roof and drains. The school houses 850 children from the city of Prokuplje and the surrounding villages who are divided amongst three buildings. While the work on the outside walls at all three schools will be completed by U.S. military engi- neers, private civilian contractors will re- pair other areas of the school.
