NV5 Global awarded $10M by USGS for geospatial projects

NV5 Global announced that it has been awarded $10 million by the U.S. Geological Survey, USGS, to provide geospatial services for improved resource management. “The expanding role of geospatial data in water and natural resource management, utility infrastructure reliability, national security, and economic stability continues to drive growth in the demand for geospatial data management and analysis,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Executive Chairman of NV5. “As the leading geospatial data analytics provider, NV5 is pleased to support USGS initiatives that contribute to the responsible management and identification of critical natural resources across the nation.” NV5 was awarded a $3 million contract by the USGS to analyze existing mineral deposits and identify new occurrences over 11,500 square miles in Western Texas. NV5 was also awarded a $6 million contract by the USGS for lidar collection and processing of over 8,500 square miles in Alaska that will help enhance forest resource management, monitor coastal erosion, support community resilience efforts, and safeguard infrastructure for local communities. The USGS has also awarded NV5 a $1 million contract to integrate geospatial elevation data into the 3D Hydrography Program to enhance understanding of Alaska’s bodies of water and facilitate informed resource management across the state.
