Happy National Surveyors Week! This week we celebrate the profession that lays the groundwork for everything that follows. While surveying is rooted in history, our tools and perspective continue to evolve. DEA recently worked on the Tillamook Hangar, in partnership with our UAS partner Frontier Precision Unmanned, for the Friends of the Tillamook Air Museum, helping preserve history. The Tillamook Hangar was built in 1943 as part of the coastal monitoring efforts during World War II. Our aerial imagery collection from a Freefly Astro Max, will help engineers review the best ways to preserve this one of kind landmark in the Pacific Northwest. Keep an eye out for Frontier Precision’s upcoming LinkedIn post featuring the project. #NationalSurveyorsWeek #DEAEngineering #Surveying #UAS #RemoteSensing #LiDAR
