  • Supporting regulatory compliance, reporting, and negotiations

 

Excavation Planning / Developing Detailed 3D Models
Destiny used GIS and cell-based 3D modeling software to create detailed excavation models used by the engineering contractor to finely-tune and monitor excavation activities. Supporting the evaluation of status and conditions at key milestones, Destiny’s GPS/LPS Specialists worked closely with field crews to capture precise location data at select sample points. The location and sample data were then incorporated into excavation models within 12-hours enabling the early confirmation that the excavation was complete. Destiny’s fast turnaround and unique approach introduced a number of time and costs savings. This included saving the costs of over-excavating, and improving the dispatch of crews and equipment between sites.

IT Management and Administration:
Destiny also held a key role managing and administering the site’s IT infrastructure spanning several contractors and supporting approximately 80 people. This included hardware and software integration, network configuration and maintenance, establishing and managing daily back-up procedures, managing the site’s server network, adding virus protection, trouble-shooting malfunctions, and establishing a virtual private network (VPN).

Destiny continues to manage the site’s database, including paper and digital records, and will steward data management and reporting through a range of concluding activities.

Because of Destiny’s service, and due to the savings introduced, Destiny was awarded additional projects with the site owner, and with several of the engineering sub-contractors.
