Our Services

Data Acquisition

There is no one size fits all when it comes to project-based sensor, deployment, and information delivery options. For SWCA, working from the “Data-Up” is a holistic problem-solving approach that begins with listening to client concerns and the science surrounding their projects so pain points and data blind-spots can be identified. We actively capture and fuse relevant project data in near real time employing a myriad of sensors (payloads/cameras) using robots operating from Land, Sea, Air, and Space.
