Geospatial ServicesWith more than four decades of experience working with advanced technologies, Woolpert has the capability to provide integrated geospatial services and project support to meet the varied needs of any GIS manager. Today, more than a third of our staff focus on geospatial work. In fact, we’ve been responsible for some of the largest and most complex national and regional geospatial projects, including:

• Statewide lidar and digital orthophotography programs• Lidar data collection, processing and 3-D model building for 100+

U.S. cities nationwide• Statewide stormwater systems • Highway asset inventories

Our geospatial staff members work closely with our in-house engineers, architects, planners and other professionals who use geospatial data every day. These relationships provide us with:

• An end-to-end understanding of geospatial data applications• The technical know-how to plan successful projects• The ability to create more useful applications for you and your enterprise

So, instead of getting a geospatial “product,” you get new ways to apply geospatial technologies to tackle the challenges your municipality or state faces.

To us, geospatial is more than just

collecting data and building information systems. It’s fitting

puzzle pieces together to see

the bigger picture, providing our

clients with more accurate information

to operate more efficiently.

Our wide array of state and local geospatial services includes the following:

SurveyingWe provide an array of surveying services to support all stages of a project, from initial planning through design and construction, including:

• 3-D laser scanning/as-builts• Aeronautical surveys • Obstruction analysis• ALTA• Boundary• Construction• Geodetic control/height modernization• Ground penetrating radar• Highway design and right-of-way• Hydrographic surveys/cross-sections• Subsurface utility engineering• Topographic survey• Utility infrastructure inspection• Inventory• Volume/stockpile calculations• Real property inventory (RPI)

Our statewide programs have been a powerful tool for states and local governments to update their orthoimagery and lidar data to create a cohesive mapping database. The updated data can then be used by state agencies and local governments to produce an interoperable mapping system and create surface models and flood analyses as well as update elevation data and more. And our secure redlining tool provides clients with easier, more streamlined access to review data before final delivery.

Photogrammetry and Remote SensingWith the ability to build teams of experts that include profes-sionals across multiple specialty areas, we have the resources to collect geospatial data from the air or ground and deliver it within your project timeline and budget. Our acquisition services include:

• Traditional photography• Digital imagery• Color infrared• Multi-spectral• Hyper-spectral• Thermal• Bathymetric lidar• Oblique aerial view (OAV) imagery• Lidar• Traditional and niche surveying services• Mobile mapping

We can even collect aerial photography and lidar data simultaneously for quicker acquisition and turnaround time on projects. And after we’ve acquired and processed your data, our GIS services can create a system to easily manage your geospatial data and integrate it seamlessly with your other information systems.

Mobile MappingOur mobile mapping system incorporates the Optech Lynx Mobile Mapper M1, which is capable of collecting up to 1 million points per second, with four digital cameras and an Applanix 420 Position and Orientation System for land vehicles. Together, this technology is capable of producing 3-D survey-grade, high-precision mapping data from a vehicular platform moving at highway speeds. This system can be fitted to numerous vehicles, including a cargo van for roadway corridor mapping, an all-terrain vehicle for off-road mapping, a boat for work in the marine environment and atop a rail car for work in railroad rights-of-way. Because the technology is mounted on a mobile platform, disruptions to the motoring public are eliminated and surveyors in the field are removed from harm’s way to improve safety. We also have in-house terrestrial laser scanning services that allow us to scan even those hard-to-reach areas that our mobile services can’t reach.

GISAs a strategic business partner with Esri, a global leader in GIS software, we provide a number of products for GIS applications to create interactive maps, web solutions and GIS databases. This close relationship helps us ensure we are delivering the very latest in the available applications.

LidarLidar blends the feature- and terrain-mapping capabilities of photogrammetry with its unique remote-sensing capabilities for multi-look and foliage-penetrating measurements. Our aircraft-mounted equipment indiscriminately samples and models everything in its path—trees, cars, buildings and, of course, the ground.

With our lidar services, we create traditional map products for surface modeling applications, such as digital terrain models (DTM) and contours, but we also create a wide variety of value-added products from the same lidar inputs, such as:

• Land use/land cover• Land cover characterization• Vegetation classification• Buildings and structures• Biomass and carbon/GhG calculations• Solar maps (for photovoltaic array placement)• Transmission and utility maps• Emergency response plans• Pre- and post-event/disaster planning

woolpert_labsOur R&D team, woolpert_labs, brings together the power of the web, parallel computing, GIS, remote sensing and visualization to create new methods for analyzing and serving geospatial information. Many firms wait for software providers and system manufacturers to bring new technology to the market. At Woolpert, we envision and create new geospatial solutions and bring the software providers and system manufacturers along with us.
