TBS provided overall site design, construction plans and specifications, and contract bid documents for paving, grading, drainage and utility design in compliance with the requirements of the funding programs.

 

 

TBS has been involved with various aspects of planning and design for over 47 different projects at the Houma Terrebonne Airport dating back to the 1970's. TBS has assisted the airport in securing funding from the Federal Aviation Authority for many of these projects, which involved the paving of roadways, taxiways, and ramps.

 

TBS's role in the project is to secure each site to the project datum (install deep rod monuments and tide staffs at each site) and to conduct marsh elevation surveys at each site.Since some of the sites are in remote places in Louisiana, establishing local control was at times required.Due to the sensitive nature of the environment, data was gathered by foot or other non-destructive methods.TBS was involved in the project from 2004 to 2009.

 

 

TBS recently demonstrated our ability to provide precision survey techniques in an offshore environment for Devon Energy. Our challenge was to position a new single caisson next to an existing single caisson within Eugene Island Block 119 such that after the deck and stairs were installed on top of the new caisson the stairs would connect onto the deck of the existing caisson with a two foot tolerance.

 

 

TBS' survey, environmental, and engineering disciplines have all been involved in the Lake Boudreaux project that will seasonally convey approximately 1,000 cubic-feet-per-second of freshwater from the Houma Navigation Canal through Bayou Pelton, across LA Highway 57 and the Grand Caillou Ridge.

 

TBS' Marine Positioning group provided survey services on the DSV Normand Clough. We provided surface, sonar and acoustic positioning for various platform and pipeline abandonment's in the Grand Isle, West Delta, Ship Shoal and South Timbalier areas of the Gulf of Mexico. Acoustic positioning included tracking divers, ROV's subsea tooling and cranes, not only for positioning but also for the safety of the divers. At many of the locations we worked we were asked to create a sonar mosaic of the bottom during and after operations were completed at the location.
