Since its inception, Elevate has provided high-quality data for numerous geohazard projects affecting critical infrastructure, including highways, dams, docks, reservoirs, and utilities. Earth movements are difficult to identify and characterize due to unpredictable variables that pose significant risks to life and property. Elevate understands these challenges and has experience working in emergency response. In these instances, Elevate has provided high-resolution elevation data to support geologists and engineers in assessing site stability and characterizing dynamic events. This can be demonstrated in our Mosquito Creek case study.
UAS technology can capture this critical information without risking a person’s safety
Geohazards pose a significant risk to critical infrastructure throughout the world, but particularly in regions where there is high relief. Some sites are too dangerous or difficult for personnel to access safely. In such instances, UAS technology can capture this critical information without risking a person’s safety. Geologists and engineers need to understand many variables in order to determine the level of risk for any given site. Many of these variables can be solved through our services, by capturing high resolution imagery and LiDAR, geotechnical investigations can be completed with much more confidence.
