HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – NV5, a provider of technology, certification, and consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a $4 million contract to provide geospatial hydrographic data for approximately 20% of New Zealand’s coastline by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), the public service department of New Zealand specializing in geographic information. This is the largest contract awarded for NV5’s international geospatial growth initiative and demonstrates the acceleration of NV5’s expansion into global markets for geospatial data analytics.
NV5 will utilize specialized topobathymetric lidar and 4-band imagery to support the creation of detailed 3D maps of 4,780 square kilometers of the coast and adjacent sea floor. The 3D Coastal Mapping program aims to improve baseline data to better understand impact on coastal areas due to sea-level rise and natural hazards, such as tsunami and earthquakes. The project scope is similar to recurring geospatial analyses that NV5 provides for the United States Federal Government and state governments to assess coastal resilience, infrastructure impacts, and modifications to nautical mapping resulting from sea level rise and weather events.
“As the leader in geospatial data analytics, NV5’s proprietary algorithms, analytical capabilities, and intellectual property are in high demand domestically and internationally. Our international geospatial growth initiative is driving international expansion through replication of analyses that we have provided domestically for many years. This initiative has already assisted clients in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia Pacific, and we continue to accelerate our organic growth in international geospatial services,” said Ben Heraud, CEO of NV5.
“NV5’s investments in geospatial data sharing, mining, and processing allows us to serve clients anywhere in the world, providing access to our industry-leading geospatial data engineers and data scientists throughout the U.S. and India,” said Kurt Allen, PLS, President of NV5 Geospatial. “International clients have welcomed the opportunity to work with our geospatial professionals and technologies, and we look forward to continuing our international geospatial expansion into new geographies.”
