NV5 Global, Inc., a provider of compliance, technology, engineering, and environmental consulting solutions, announced that it has been selected by the US Geological Survey (USGS) to provide geospatial services totaling approximately $6 million to support the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). Under these awards, NV5 Geospatial will collect LiDAR data and perform analytics in over 20,000 square miles in the states of Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Alaska.
The goal of the USGS 3DEP program is to provide a national baseline of high-resolution, three-dimensional topographic elevation data across the United States. The elevation data provided by the 3DEP program is used to make critical decisions related to the environment, property, infrastructure, and safety.
Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5 said, “NV5 Geospatial has supported the 3DEP program and the local governments and private organizations that partner with USGS since the program’s inception. The contributions that NV5 Geospatial makes to the 3DEP program support flood risk management, coastal resilience, energy development, water and natural resource conservation, infrastructure management, and a host of other applications.”
