The data we create can be used utilized in the form of 3D photo realistic point cloud data or converted into 3D Meshes for visualization purposes.  While there are many uses for this data we are currently specializing in delivering it in formats that can easily be integrated on the web for an immersive 3D experience for the user. Please note this data is not certified for any purposes or accuracy and is strictly for visualization.

Detailed 3D Model of Building

Our 3D Models are the result of an exciting new computer vision technology called structure from motion. This 3D technology can be applied both from an aerial perspective when needing to capture buildings and landscapes or smaller features such a sculptures or other objects. While not every subject will be a good candidate due to physical limitations, many others are. This technology has been embraced by the world’s leading museums and educational facilities for the documentation and preservation of historic cultural features. We believe that this technology will also become part of a new standard for 3D web content and product marketing. Please enjoy!

Current Construction Progress

UAVs or drones deliver the highest resolution spatial imagery that has ever been available to consumers. Coupled with the affordability and near-real time turn around, users are now able to utilize current imagery for uses never before envisioned.

Having been consumers of spatial imagery ourselves we understand the importance this high resolution and timely resource. This new epoch of aerial imagery does away with long lag time and high costs for budgeting and delivery.

Each project exists in a unique area with characteristics that define constraints that need to be considered during the project life cycle.  A thorough understanding and compilation of data resources is a critical step when evaluating project areas for future development.  Our team is highly experienced in performing the early stage “deep dive” desktop reconnaissance needed to screen for potential  environmental and cultural features in a project area.

Current Construction Progress and Permit Compliance

In addition to a full suite of GIS services, ne³rd is proud to offer a full range of permitting, environmental and wetland expertise through its partnership with Peekstok Environmental Consulting  LLC, which has over 30 years of experience with Florida environmental issues.

Florida environmental services include:

South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) General Water Use permits.

Conducting wetland delineations, benthic and seagrass surveys pursuant to State and Federal criteria.

Evaluating wetlands pursuant to the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM), Wetland Rapid Assessment Procedure (WRAP) and Wetland Assessment Technique for Environmental Review (WATER).

Preparing environmental documents required by State, Federal and Local regulatory agencies.

Conducting monitoring efforts to comply with permit conditions.

Preparing documents for Florida Board of Trustees approval to use State Lands.

Providing listed species coordination with resource agencies.

Preparing preserve area management plans.

Developing wetland restoration plans.

Providing expert witness testimony regarding wetlands, mangroves and other marine issues.

Providing coordination with State, Federal, Regional and Local governmental agencies regarding environmental issues.

We specialize in the following aspects of geospatial environmental and cultural screening:

Data Reconnaissance

Data Modeling for Project Integration

Data Creation

Wetlands Identification and Mapping

Workflow Planning and Coordination with Field Resources

Quantification and Analysis for Reporting

GIS spatial analysis provides numerous benefits for the identification and evaluation of potential sites for real estate investment, land acquisition and/or franchise expansion.  Having a comprehensive profile and spatial inventory of critical data points and business drivers are important for the success of your project is invaluable in identifying the correct Location, Location, Location.

Whether performing a detailed “slicing and dicing” of demographic data to identify neighborhood profiles, analyzing competitors, evaluating risk, analyzing drive times, or evaluating property valuations there are endless applications of how geo-spatial services can provide critical information on determining real estate purchases or investments.

We can develop customized solutions and will creatively “turn over every stone” to ensure that you have the best information available to make the right decision.

Data

Creation, Conversion and Clean-up – Do you need help converting or scrubbing data? We can help.  Whether translating between formats (CAD to GIS) or generating new or revised line work, we have the tools and experience to help.

Analysis

While specializing in geo-spatial analysis we can also help with compiling other data sources (such as web data and non-spatial sources) into fused products that can be utilized in spreadsheets for analysis and report generation.

Mapping

No map is too large or too small!  We love maps and bring many years of experience in blending art and science into the products you need.

NE3RD has partnered with a team of industry and government experts to help design and test systems that will assist unmanned aerial vehicles with safe and efficient operations in the low altitude environments.

We are confident that this early planning and coordination will result in a flexible system that meets the needs of all stakeholders.

NE3RD desires to work as a conduit for entities such as large companies or municipalities interested in integrating their specific needs, data and requirements into the overall architecture of this unmanned vehicle transportation system.

Project Execution

Wind and Solar energy generation is growing rapidly worldwide.  Our team is proud to have directly contributed to this growth through years of experience in helping to design and develop multiple wind and solar farms across the U.S., Canada and Asia.

The development of wind energy is a dynamic process that requires agility and creativity to satisfy the economic, physical, biological, and political variables needed for a successful project.  Our team specializes in delivering geospatial technology solutions to assist in this process.  From early site selection and land resource development to environmental, engineering, permitting or political considerations we assist in designing and implementing spatial solutions for efficient and effective project execution.  Additionally, we have partners that can provide detailed wind energy analysis and turbine layout designs for maximum project output.

Distances of Proposed Project Improvements to Occupied Structures

Solar energy development continues with strong growth as both small and utility scale projects are being installed globally.  The development of this resource requires the addition of some unique inputs to evaluate the potential solar resource of a site based on the local weather, topography and physical characteristics of an area.  By accurately modeling this solar resource by the use of geospatial technology, project developers are assured to gain the maximizing economic return from a project.
