What are some examples of how InSiteful Imagery™ is used?

Geotechnical Engineering

• The licensed geotechnical engineer uses InSiteful Imagery™ to reduce costs affiliated with multiple site visits and ground surveys. The engineer needs to monitor and document all earthwork construction on a major commercial construction project. He needs to verify, document, and report the precise locations and amounts of bad soil encountered, rock blasted, and the disposition of topsoil to the construction manager and project owner (to approve additional payment requests, as well as to conduct engineering analysis, etc). The end result in the long term is more profit to the developer and the engineer, as well as a drastically reduced potential for construction-related disputes.

Environmental Monitoring

• InSiteful Imagery™ is used by regulators to cost-effectively supplement ground inspections and efficiently monitor, document, report problems, and avoid potential enforcement action costs. The regulatory agency responsible for monitoring of all erosion control permits on construction sites is severely understaffed and cannot visit all projects in the assigned region. The end result is more efficient government and a better protected environment.

Construction

• InSiteful Imagery™ is a Best Management Practice for many construction company business tasks. The savvy construction company uses InSiteful Imagery™ to eliminate all capital, overhead, and variable costs associated with storing, managing, and sharing digital photos as a business tool. A multiple-office large commercial construction company has traditionally allowed the individual project managers discretion in using aerial photography to document construction progress in managing a project. Digital oblique photo files are traditionally provided for the PM to share as desired, or the files are posted to the company intranet for casual viewing. InSiteful Imagery™ is a documentation tool for reports, briefings, email communication, and pay requests. In-field personnel may obtain, annotate, and email field reports to “higher-ups”. Frequent monitoring greatly reduces the need for site visits by lenders and higher management. Any member of the leadership team can check on construction progress, query PM’s, share the information with lenders, or check on the performance of subcontractors. The end result is that properly shared aerial photography leads to drastically improved business efficiencies and increased knowledge, all resulting in larger profits and decreased business risk.

Real Estate Asset Management

• Managers of large industrial warehouses and other large-footprint facilities use InSiteful Imagery™ to help in monitoring and assessing the condition of rooftops, pavements, and other high-dollar real estate improvements. Subscribing to InSiteful Imagery™ allows nearly unlimited sharing of time-sensitive aerial information to assist in better decision making for capital improvements and capital reserve planning.

Homeland Security/ Disaster Assessment

• The Global War on Terror means that both the law enforcement professional  and the general citizenry have become much more attune to potential criminal activity. InSiteful Imagery™ is a powerful tool that can be used at all levels to conduct response planning and counter-surveillance of critical infrastructure.

• The Disaster Response Planner uses InSiteful Imagery™, as well, to collect and widely share aerial images of small footprint (“point”) locations for more effective assessment and decision making.

Urban Planning

• InSiteful Imagery™ is used by transportation planners, code officials, utility and sewer authorities to better monitor, analyze, maintain, and plan for urban growth. The InSiteful Imagery™ platform allows for the more effective use of public money and sharing of information internally, especially for small-footprint sites such as roads, bridges, sewer and electrical transmission corridors.

Natural Resources Management

• The use of InSiteful Imagery™ by aquatic biologists means that aerial assessment and monitoring budgets go a lot farther with higher quality (resolution) imaging results made more readily available to those on the project team. The aquatic biologist is engaged in helping to assess, monitor, and control the growth of various aquatic weeds along the shoreline in a large reservoir serving millions of people. The current means of monitoring weed growth throughout the year includes expensive (and potentially dangerous) mobilization of people in small boats to survey multiple shoreline areas. Alternate means to map the entire reservoir by use of traditional mapping aircraft are also expensive, less responsive, and entail lower resolution, non-digital photographing techniques. Using InSiteful Imagery™ results in more effective decision making, better water quality, and better use of public money.

Corporate Agriculture

• The corporate farmer competes in a world where monitoring of the land and the crop from above is paramount to effective decision making. He uses high resolution color imagery to assess pre-plant soil and drainage conditions, to monitor the health of the crop, and to determine proper crop rotation schedules. InSiteful Imagery™ makes it easy to share the information with other specialists and advisers, as well as suppliers and buyers who may be located far away from each other.

How They Do It

InSiteful Imagery™ is used as a stand-alone business tool, or it is easily integrated with other Information Technology (IT) programs such as Primavera, Microsoft Project, Microsoft SharePoint, Quickbooks, and virtually any other project management program, accounting system, or executive dashboard.
