Roberto D. Mantecon, PLS, PSM
Surveying
Mr. Mantecon has 33 years of extensive experience in conducting and managing boundary,
geographic information systems (GIS), construction layout, geodetic control, hydrographic,
right-of-way, route, sectional, cadastral, and topographic surveys for environmental (including
stormwater, mitigation, and sewer utilities), and transportation. He also has in-depth knowledge
of computer-aided design (CAD) and global positioning systems (GPS) surveys. He has
strong technical and communication skills, with the ability to resolve complex problems and
convey solutions through multiple teams.
During his career—all with Atkins—Mr. Mantecon has served as the survey manager or
surveyor in charge for many stormwater-related projects, including the following:
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Beach Management Program
General Engineering Consulting Services, Florida (Statewide) (FDEP). This project for
FDEP, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, consisted of developing and implementing
a long-term strategic beach management plan (SBMP) to restore critically eroding beaches.
Components of the plan included the identification of regional beach management issues such
as erosion, poor public access, navigation problems, and environmental issues, and the development
of long-term solutions. The plan also provided an innovative approach for integrating data
from different sources (e.g., digital aerial photography, conventional survey data, and laser/light
detection and ranging [LIDAR] mapping) using GIS.
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Districtwide Additional
Highway System Right-of-Way Maps, District Six (FDOT District Six). As project manager
and senior surveyor, he led, what initially began as a five-year miscellaneous survey services
contract, for 15 years. He has completed hundreds of miles of route surveys, along with associated
geodetic control, data collection, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, corridor maps,
hydrographic surveys, and parcel mapping throughout the district including the Florida Keys;
and has served as an extension of District Six staff as a trusted advisor in complex technical
matters. In addition, as part of the new reselection process, he took on the task of updating
the District’s vertical control network to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88),
and has recently completed GIS databases for Monroe and Miami-Dade Counties to assist the
District’s survey staff in maintaining their project control information.
High-Water Marks Location for Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi and Alabama. As survey
team leader, he was responsible for managing field and office efforts to map high-water marks
established during Hurricane Katrina over the coast of Mississippi and Alabama using advanced
GPS techniques and conventional survey methods. Atkins was tasked by URS to survey the
flagged high-water marks as a result of the coastal flooding of Hurricane Katrina. The project
limits stretched from the Florida Panhandle to the western boundary of the Mississippi coast.
This data was to be used to accurately document the flooding and help the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) update flood maps and prepare for future disasters. The highwater
marks were determined by using evidence of mud lines, water stains, debris, wrack lines,
and eyewitness testimony. In addition, the high-water marks were surveyed over a two-month
period using seven survey crews. The survey crews used static GPS methods and conventional
leveling to determine the horizontal coordinates (latitude and longitude) and elevation for each
high-water mark. Each point was collected horizontally in the North American Datum of 1983
(NAD83), and vertically in NAVD88. The high-water marks were surveyed to the accuracy of
0.25 feet vertically and 10 feet horizontally with a 95% accuracy level of the result. Points that
could not be collected directly with GPS were surveyed by using conventional leveling techniques
from a static GPS reference point.
