Woolpert was contracted by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) to perform aerial mapping services to assess three landslide-prone areas along a 10-mile stretch of U.S. 26 in northwest Wyoming. The site is close to Yellowstone National Park and along the Continental Divide.
Geologic conditions have caused multiple landslides in this region over the past decade, with some areas showing up to a foot of geologic movement during that span. Woolpert was brought in to utilize the firm’s aircraft, its Leica TerrainMapper LiDAR sensor, and its in-house acquisition services to deliver classified LiDAR data and aerial imagery, which WYDOT can use to evaluate, prioritize, and mitigate possible landslide events. Data collected over the three areas met or exceeded the requested 50 points per square meter.
