By Mike Schutz, director of renewables & power delivery Standalone battery storage was something many developers kept on the back burner. They weren’t ignored but, in many portfolios, battery energy storage systems (BESS) were something tied into larger solar or wind developments. That is changing, and quickly, after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1) […]
By Mike Schutz, director of renewables & power delivery Renewable developers are facing a hard truth following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB): federal policy is now putting a hard stop on the momentum built under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The window is now narrow for projects to receive tax […]
Within 24 hours of the tornado that struck downtown St. Louis, Bowman mobilized its disaster mapping team from our local hangar to capture post-event aerial imagery. The Cessna Conquest aircraft, equipped with a Phase One PANA imaging system, collected high-resolution, georeferenced data over the affected area. Leveraging advanced orthoimagery technology and ESRI visualization tools, our […]
Recent wins reinforce positive outlook for continued growth in 2025 Bowman has been awarded a one-year contract by the State of North Carolina’s Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA) to deliver high-resolution, 6-inch pixel digital orthoimagery covering the counties of Bladen, Johnston, Sampson, Wayne and Wilson in the state’s Eastern Piedmont region. Under the […]

Bowman has completed the installation and activation of its first company-owned, stand-alone electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at its Burlington, VT-area office. The two EV ChargePoint stations are now available for public, client, corporate fleet and employee use, marking a milestone in Bowman’s commitment to sustainability and environmental impact. The installation is representative of Bowman’s […]
Located on the shores of Commencement Bay, the City of Tacoma is an industrial port city and the third largest (pop. 220K) in the State of Washington. Because Tacoma and dozens of regional cities have a direct impact on surface waters feeding into Puget Sound, the increasing costs of meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System […]
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.
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.
