  1. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 The Application of Lidar for

    Geomorphic Mapping Sam Moffat – Fugro EarthData October 3, 2012
  2. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 Mission Our mission is to

    be the world’s leading service-provider in the collection and interpretation of data relating to the earth’s surface and sub-surface, and in the support of infrastructure developments on land, at the coast and on the seabed.
  3. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 Divisions The Fugro organization comprises

    three main divisions - Geoscience, Survey and Geotechnical. Each of these incorporates business lines that specialize in particular client services.
  4. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 Survey Division Our Survey Division

    provides precise positioning, geological, geophysical, ROV, metocean, topographic, hydrographic and GIS services, tailored to the specific needs of clients, in support of onshore and offshore construction projects.
  5. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 Resources Fugro’s people, vessels, equipment

    and facilities expand and develop to meet the demands of new challenges in new regions and provide continuous high quality service that exceeds the expectations of our customers. 50 Vessels CPT Trucks CPT Towers 75 24 Laboratories 25 Jack-up Platforms 13,500 Employees 50 Aircraft 215 Land-based Rigs 16 Offshore Rigs 275 Offices 135 ROVs 5 AUVs
  6. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 How can the Nuclear Regulatory

    Commission (NRC) mitigate against similar disasters on US soil?? NRC Regulations for Seismic and Flooding Design
  7. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 Seismic and Flooding Design • 

    The risk of the US suffering such a devastating combination of earthquake and tsunami is unlikely •  However, we must be ready for the most unlikely of events •  Initial Nuclear Plant designs were conceived with a built-in margin of safety based on the largest earthquake and flood event known in the region
  8. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 NRC’s Goal •  A more

    balanced application of “defense-in-depth” • Common Theme: Protection of equipment from appropriate external hazards is key to safety •  Recommendation: Protection. Require new nuclear sites to re-evaluate and upgrade current base seismic and flooding protection of structures, systems and components •  Recommendation: Evaluate potential enhancements to the capability to prevent seismically induced fires / floods. •  Recommendation: Strengthen and integrate onsite emergency response capabilities
  9. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 How? •  Do you upgrade

    your current seismic and flooding design? •  Do you evaluate potential enhancements to your capability to prevent seimically induced fires / floods? •  Do you strengthen and integrate onsite emergency response capabilties? By mapping every feature in a 3D environment

  21. www.fugro.com Texas GIS Forum 2012 The FLI-MAP Fx rotating mirror

    three look angle LIDAR sensor, by it’s design and operational nature, provides more consistent and stable returns, even out to the 80% edges (or 48° )of the total 60° fixed FOV. The USGS ver. 12 specified 30° FOV limitation for an oscillating mirror approach, does not apply to this rotating mirror sensor. As a direct benefit, this sensor strength is in providing more cost effective acquisition solutions (wider more efficient swath width coverage at the same altitude and higher point densities to identify the terrain), while meeting or exceeding the intent of the accuracy and product deliverables.
