"This is a significant win for Stantec's U.S. operations," saidBob Gomes, Stantec president & CEO. "This contract allows us to demonstrate our full range of surveying and mapping capabilities on a large scale and to contribute to an important federal initiative."
Stantec's surveying and mapping group has developed a particular specialty in 3D laser scanning, which involves using lasers to scan a building or scene and nearly instantly create 3D images that users can view from any angle. The firm has used the technology for reconstruction and renovation projects at such sites as Yankee Stadium, New York City's City Hall, a levee break in Fernley, Nevada, and the construction crane collapses in New York City and Miami in 2008. With this new contract, Stantec will help the GSA augment its existing building information modeling (BIM) program and further build a comprehensive database of federal facilities.
Stantec's team for the contract includes Stantec Consulting Services Inc., CH2M Hill, Optira, CHA, Taylor Wiseman & Taylor, Adept Project Delivery, and QinetiQ North America. The Company is also involved in a number of other federal projects throughout North America, including an effort to help the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) undertake a massive flood risk mapping and planning program known as Risk MAP.
