Land Development Project Solutions

With the complexity and timelines of todays land development projects, the need to monitor construction and progress to ensure projects stay on track is high. With access to the latest geospatial technologies, GeoVerra provides land development clients solutions to do just that. Working closely with several partners in the land development industry, GeoVerra provides innovative solutions that accurately monitor project construction activities and provide virtual tours so clients can see progress week after week. Not to mention, the progress information and virtual tour can be shared with all client stakeholders as needed.

Solving Land Development Challenges

Congested worksites with multiple subcontractors can be a challenge to navigate safely, and continuing demand for new housing push developments to increasingly larger scales. Both problems are easily solved by leveraging GeoVerra’s robust UAV fleet to keep more workers out of harm’s way, and cover large developments in a single mission, capturing a snapshot of the entire project at a single point in time.

Given timelines, safety and complexities of land development projects, traditional solutions for access to detailed and documented progress isn’t the always the safest and most efficient. To combat this, having the technology that allows for detailed documentation of the construction progress, that can be easily accessed remotely by all stakeholders in an efficient manner is essential.

Material balances, take off quantities, progress monitoring and quality analysis are easily performed on these datasets. They require no site revisits to collect additional information, down to the individual stockpile or location of a single manhole.

UAVs equipped with thermal or multispectral cameras are valuable tools for land development projects. A key application is site assessment and planning. By identifying variations in surface temperatures, UAVs can reveal differences in soil composition, moisture levels, water bodies, vegetation health, and wildlife habitats. They can also detect heat signatures from underground utilities. During construction, thermal data can help identify issues such as uneven concrete curing, water infiltration, or insulation flaws.
