Integrating Data on Landfills Case Study
With the recent innovations brought about in drone technology, procuring and using digital geospatial data is becoming a necessary and valuable commodity.
This white paper will look into the geospatial data that is collected and produced for the operation, permitting, tracking, and planning of solid waste sites, including technologies such as laser (Lidar) scanning, drone photogrammetry, GPS surveying, and digital design files. These digital data types are important for managing landfill operations and planning activities.

UAV LiDAR Ground Topography Scanning Case Study
Ground topography scanning has it’s challenges. Undeveloped land, thick vegetation, and sheer size are just a few of the obstacles that can stand in the way of solely using a photogrammetry drone.
UAV LiDAR is a great solution. In this case study, we provide an in-depth explanation of a client-requested ground topography scanning project. Learn how we use GeoCue Group, Inc.’s True View 410 3D imaging system (3DIS) to complete the scope of work. Authored by Caleb Cass, PE, Vice President of Engineering

Geotechnical Analysis Case Study
Using 3D mapping techniques, rock walls at mines and quarries can be examined in-depth, and information about geologic discontinuities can be extracted, aiding in the analysis of safety, efficiency and the mine planning process.
We’re always looking for new ways to help clients solve problems, increase productivity, reduce waste, and improve safety. So when our client approached us about finding a better way to identify joint sets, we created this deliverable with a services-led, technology enabled approach.

Aggregate Management 101 White Paper
In order to control inventory in a typical aggregate operation, the producer must understand the whole process, from production through sales. Inadequate control in any one of these areas leads to inventory uncertainty and makes it more difficult to make decisions based on a strong understanding of the operation. In this report, we cover the basics of aggregate inventory management and suggest best practices based off our 25+ years industry experience.
