The Civil Engineering Section coordinates lists of projects to be performed each year through the process of: Routine city inspections and inventory. Recommendations from other city departments, city council, or the mayor. Number and types of complaints/requests that are received from the general public or neighborhood groups. Importance to transportation master planning or drainage master planning. Amount of use by the citizens of Knoxville (traffic counts, recreational impacts). All construction work within public right-of-way must meet or exceed the City of Knoxville Standard Details and Technical Specifications. The Civil Engineering Section also monitors and inspects any utility work within the public right-of-way through City ROW Construction Permits (or also called street cut permits) and Temporary Traffic Control Permits. The Civil Engineering Section conducts surveys for city projects and maintains a growing network of 3D survey control points. The network is based on the Tennessee Coordinate System of 1983 (the same grid system used by KGIS) to allow engineers, surveyors and developers to perform accurate surveys that match city grid coordinates and elevations. The network is tied to the Tennessee Geodetic Reference Network (TGRN), 1995 Readjustment.
