AI-powered environmental monitoring

Ramboll supported the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) implement a digital database integration (DDI) platform and systems enabling real-time data collection, modelling, and reporting to enhance environmental remediation efforts at the Chambers Works site in Deepwater, New Jersey. The DDI platform reduces project costs and downtime, increases safety and accuracy in data collection, and enables increased performance despite the challenging and complex site conditions.

In collaboration with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Ramboll’s Galago team developed a pilot-scale methodology for monitoring large tracts of land for giant hogweed, an invasive plant harmful to both human and ecosystem health. Galago collected high-resolution imagery using a small, unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) or drone across approximately 1,100 acres near Hemlock-Canadice State Forest in Springwater, New York.

National Highways (formally Highways England) is the government agency responsible for operating, maintaining, and improving England’s strategic road network. The organisation aspires to an intelligent, digitally enabled network that operates harmoniously with the surrounding environment, harnessing data, technology, and connectivity to optimise their activities.
