Within 24 hours of a tornado that struck downtown St. Louis in May 2025, Bowman mobilized its disaster mapping team to capture post-event aerial imagery. Using a Cessna Conquest aircraft equipped with a Phase One PANA imaging system, the team captured high-resolution, georeferenced imagery across the affected area.

Performed surveying and engineering services for this 2.1 acres to support development of a solar panel farm. Scope included detailed topographic survey of the area bounded by the woods line.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) St. Louis District turned to us, emphasizing the urgency for rapid acquisition of aerial imagery. The task order was to acquire 1,248 square miles of 1’ GSD 4-band color aerial imagery of the Mississippi River above Vicksburg, MS.

Missouri’s Meramec River is one of the largest free-flowing waterways in the state. Our team monitored the flood waters and was able to conduct aerial imagery acquisition to pull together a complete coverage of the flooded area for local communities and disaster recovery officials.

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.

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.
