50 mile linear project with multiple scale factors

[rdawsonHWKR9]

So I am starting a 50 mile ROW project and I would like to have all the survey data, line work, etc. on ground. In turn I would like to be able to label points and annotate lines that reflect the SPC system. Is this best handled through Transformation. 

Would it be recommended to collect the survey data on ground or state plan grid?

Further more I am going to need about 4 different combined scale factor throughout the project. Will I need to create a dwg for each scale factor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roger,
Kinda depends on the terrain of your project, but a 50-mile-long project fairly screams Low Distortion Projection. That would be best of all possible worlds--ground distances and GIS friendly.
More information please on the general area, width of project, and direction.

Dave, 

Below is a screen show of the proposed CL, being 50 miles. It also shows elevations and CAFs at four locations. The current projection is Utah SPC Central Zone. The width of the corridor should probably be 1 mile. We have our top GIS person looking into this. Any advice on how to get started would be appreciated.

Roger,
Looks like a nice custom Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, or maybe an Oblique Mercator would do the trick.
There's no better introduction to the subject of low-distortion projections than Michael Dennis >>>Here<<<.

Dave, Thanks for your help!

Thanks again for you help. We are looking now for someone that can help create the LDP. I emailed Michael with Geodetic Analysis to see if he could help.

If you know of anyone else, including yourself, that could help us let me know please.

Hi Roger,
You couldn't get any better than Michael Dennis. He's in charge of adding new projections for SPCS2022.

I have an email out to him. Thanks

Hi Roger,
Did you have any luck getting in touch with Michael Dennis?
Can you post a drawing with that linework in State Plane? I'd like to design an LDP for it.

Would you mind emailing me at [email protected] and I will have someone send the dwg
