NV5 Global, a provider of technology, conformity assessment, and consulting solutions, today announced that it has been selected by United States Geological Survey (USGS) for a $10 million contract to perform geospatial lidar data collection and processing of 28,359 square miles in Oregon and Washington state as part of the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP).
The project will support forest resource management and is jointly funded by USGS and the U.S. Forest Service Geospatial Technology and Applications Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The two-year project includes leaf-on lidar data collection in the fall and spring and is expected to be completed in September 2025.
“The application of geospatial data in the management of natural resources continues to grow, and we are pleased to support forestry management efforts of the USGS and U.S. Forest Service,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5. “NV5 has served the USGS for over 25 years, and we look forward to continuing our support of the USGS’ 3DEP mission to achieve high-resolution elevation data for all of the United States and its territories.”
“We are proud of our long-standing relationship with the USGS and NV5’s contributions to the 3DEP program,” said Dan Levine, President of Geospatial at NV5.
