Our team developed the funding and annexation strategy for the 500-acre South Hillsboro community plan area. Work included a financial sustainability analysis of potential general fund impacts attributed to 8,000 dwelling units and nearly 1M sq. ft. of office and commercial buildings, three schools, regional recreational center and parks facilities.
The Pacific Northwest Waterways Association engaged our team on behalf of ports along the Columbia River and Snake River to quantify the economic impact of removing four dams along the lower Snake River. We conducted a USDOT compliant benefit cost analysis to determine the net impact dam removal would have.
Portland’s wholesale agreement, defining the terms and conditions of service for 19 water providers, will expire in 2026. Our team started as an advisor to facilitate consensus selection of features for the new agreement and later to assist Portland with implementing those features, including preparing the draft agreement and developing a new wholesale rate model.
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 has designed and permitted the repaving and improvements of Hill Street from Sumter Ave to Marion Ave located in Fort Jackson, SC. The improvements are intended make the road safer for pedestrians and offer better parking for buildings in the area.
