Dudek’s Mapping and Surveying team leverages more than 20 years of experience providing survey, permitting, and construction monitoring services. In 2019, we worked with First Solar to create a UAV-based construction monitoring and materials counting survey system. Data is collected using UAVs and analyzed with machine learning technology to provide material counts, before being provided
Dudek has mapped renewable energy sites utilizing UAV technology since 2016. With our large, distributed team of pilots we can support construction projects in every state. For international projects, we can train your pilots to fly over a construction site to collect data that will be used for the UAV construction monitoring system.
When a natural disaster strikes, emergency service personnel need to mobilize and deploy support quickly. But before that can happen, they need to understand the extent of the damage on the ground. And to do that, they need eyes in the sky. Dustin Gaessner, Dudek Flight Operations Lead was born and raised on Oahu. He
Digital technology has transformed environemental field data collection. Digital methods allow data to be collected more efficiently, more accurately, in greater quantity and processed more quickly than ever before. For Dudek biologists, archaeologists, urban foresters, hydrologists, and other science and engineering professionals that manage projects involving fieldwork, applying technology is a constant challenge as it
Accurate and thorough collection of geographic information system (GIS) datasets is integral to successful project review and permitting. Equally important is submitting datasets with ample detail so they can be easily understood, analyzed, and manipulated by project owners and regulators. Unintelligible data slows permitting Often, regulators receive datasets that make perfect sense to the data
When a new state water quality permit required the City of Rocklin, California to do more pollutant testing of its stormwater system, the city turned to Dudek’s Kerata field data collection mobile app. Watch the video of Rocklin’s real-time field data collection mobile app for water quality monitoring. “All the outfalls discharging water directly into
When archeologists discover a new cultural resources artifact at a construction site, the discovery often doesn’t cause a problem. “Problems usually crop up post-discovery as a result of slow or incomplete communication to stakeholders about the discovery,” said Micah Hale, RPA, who leads Dudek’s cultural resources practice. (Watch video) “There are stringent cultural resource laws
A summary and guide for regulatory, development and environmental stakeholders. Consulting engineers and environmental scientists are frequently asked what type of modeling is required to achieve a project’s goals from a regulatory, design or habitat standpoint. The answer is integrally tied to the project setting as well as the project’s objectives. This article explores some
