Bowman was tapped to provide 3D laser scanning and as-built documentation for the expansion of the Grand Concourse facility at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. The entire process was completed in just two weeks.

Bowman conducted a comprehensive 3D laser scan of the entire building, from the center stage to the marble-clad exterior. The final Revit model ranged in detail from LOD 200 to 350, depending on the complexity of the space.

Our team performed all imagery acquisition and processing as well as most of the LiDAR acquisition (approximately 3,100 square miles) for this project. In order to enable capture of peak flood conditions, typical orthoimagery acquisition specifications for no clouds or haze, etc. were not required for this project.

One of the most efficient ways to assess damage across large expanses is to acquire aerial imagery from manned, fixed-wing aircraft. About a week and a half after Hurricane Fiona hit, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sent a task order for imagery over the entire island to our team, and we proceeded to design and execute the imagery acquisition efforts.

In 2022, the US Geological Survey (USGS) required lidar data and derivative products over a 1,500-square-mile area in central Minnesota. Through its Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC4) our team was awarded a task order to provide QL1 lidar and hydro-flattening breaklines over this area, and the challenge was clear.

On May 22, 2019, an EF-3 tornado hit Jefferson City, MO. Within a few hours, several geospatial entities within the state established a data acquisition plan. Because of the emergency nature of this project, it was essential to provide data as quickly as possible to assist first responders in relief and recovery activities.

Our team was retained by the South Carolina Department of Transportation, District 5 to perform emergency 3D laser scanning surveys on a ¾ mile segment of Interstate 95 running northerly from the I-95/I-20 Interchange.

Bowman provided 3-D laser scanning, planning and zoning expertise, landscape architecture, survey, site civil engineering, structural engineering and comprehensive construction administration/observation services.

In the process of remodeling the new 148-room hotel, the client discovered that the design model did not match the ceiling heights observed on-site. Our laser scanning team was deployed to measure the gutted building, both inside and out, with an accuracy within 1/8 an inch.

Our 3D laser scanning team used the latest scanning technology to document every facet of the Dutch shop’s ornate interior. The scans were turned into detailed Revit models, which the client used to design around the existing structure.
