Drones Fly Straight into Mapping, Inspection, Engineering Roles
How Can Drones Help Design Things? By documenting and mapping a site. By helping with traffic and parking volume studies. By tracking construction progress. By Jason Krueger, CP, GISP Unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, are becoming an increasingly common tool in the survey, mapping, and engineering fields. Incorporating these aerial imaging and mapping platforms… Read More »

Cranberries Depend on Water Resources
Dams serve a range of organizations in a variety of locations. They store water, control floods, provide irrigation, supply hydropower, reduce sedimentation – the list of uses for this scalable water resource structure goes on and on. It’s hard to miss a big dam on a big river. But you can find small dams doing… Read More »

Sewer Monitoring Shows the Way to Savings
Sewer flow monitoring helps communities precisely determine whether their wastewater piping is right-sized, what effect proposed development will have on flows, and exactly where leaks might be causing problems. Monitoring involves placing a sensor into the wastewater flow. The sensor measures the depth and velocity and uses those parameters to calculate the flow rate. Sensors… Read More »
