Streamlining Communication for Damage Protection and Environmental Protection

Our utility clients have an expansive underground infrastructure network often accompanied by extensive soil and groundwater contamination. Typically, two separate internal organizations must be aware of planned excavation activities: the damage prevention department and an environmental remediation department. Damage protection review is a high priority internally for the utility client to ensure it protects buried infrastructure from an excavation. The role of the utility’s environmental department is to...

LandWatch for Public Safety and Community Engagement

Our client had a short six-week deadline to establish a notification system alerting any excavator working on a public right of way about the existence of Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) residues in the ground and informing them about their eligibility for reimbursement for costs incurred for the removal and disposal of affected soil or groundwater associated with the excavations of soils containing MGP residuals. The notification needed to...

LandWatch Drone Imaging for Industrial Site Change Detection

Especially as institutional control requirements for annual certifications affected more of their sites, our industrial client needed to submit inspection reports to regulatory agencies or other third parties. Even armed with LandWatch monitoring information, in many cases the inspections needed, or could at least be vastly improved, by visual evidence. Rather than sending field staff to visit and collect photographic evidence of institutional control compliance, our client increasingly...
