Geomatics

McKim & Creed's comprehensive Geomatics solutions provide clients across our footprint with services that improve resiliency and the built environment.

Our team has provided an array of geospatial services for local municipalities, utility companies, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and private sector clients. Our vessels, equipment, and crews also have the unique ability to navigate and access remote and tough-to-get locations, allowing our clients and internal personnel the opportunity to observe, inspect, and see first-hand locations that are not easily accessed. Additionally, McKim & Creed can conduct unmanned, remotely operated, fully equipped survey vessels if the situation arises.

McKim & Creed has performed beach monitoring, for both the public sector and the private sector for more than 20 years.

Gordons Landing

Grand Isle, VT

McKim & Creed combined hydrographic surveying, conventional surveying and UAS to conduct a condition survey of a rock and stone breakwater at the Gordons Landing. Since the breakwater ran both underwater and above the water, we utilized our land, air and sea resources and multiple technologies, including GPS, multibeam, side scan sonar and UAS.

Using a combination of conventional survey techniques, hydrographic surveying and aerial lidar, McKim and Creed provided Olsen Associates critical preliminary survey data to assist in the City of Southport, NC shoreline stabilization study. The project covered 4,000 linear feet of shoreline from the Southport yacht basin east to Bonnet’s Park. The initial study by Olsen Associates lead the City to approve a $5 million comprehension stabilization study and design.

McKim & Creed has supported the Town of Ocean Isle Beach, NC with topographic and hydrographic surveying services for over 10+ years. This included the initial design survey of the Town’s Terminal Groin that finished construction in April, 2022. Since construction, McKim & Creed has provided semi-annual surveys that meet the Terminal Groin Shoreline and Inlet Management Plan Survey requirements. These surveys cover 27,000 feet of shoreline and include a complex hydrographic survey of Shallotte Inlet as well as 16 radial profiles lines.

Engineering

Our engineers are problem solvers and visionaries, turning ideas into reality. We analyze, design, and upfit resilient infrastructure to accommodate storm-surge flooding. Our water, wastewater, and reclaimed water project designs address issues like saltwater intrusion, groundwater contamination, and reduced stormwater system capacity. We consider how to best protect water and wastewater treatment systems as well as power supplies. We evaluate monitoring and control systems with respect to communications infrastructure reliability. We determine the rate of infrastructure deterioration and account for access to critical infrastructure facilities during times of emergency.

We also develop budget resilience measures and support our clients’ efforts to gain FEMA/HMGP funding for recovery projects as well as funding through various other agencies for proactive enhancement and resiliency projects. McKim & Creed has helped 25+ utilities secure nearly $60 million in State Revolving Fund (SRF) and Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) funding.

McKim & Creed's engineering design successfully protects our clients' infrastructure from natural disasters, ensuring operations remain normal under emergency conditions.

Lift Station 87

Sarasota, FL

This new, above-ground 6.5-million gpd lift station to replaced an existing lift station that is coming to the end of its useful life. Lift Station 87 included a number of enhancements to ensure reliable water and wastewater service to area customers. The new above-ground station is designed to withstand a Category 3 storm surge.

McKim & Creed provided engineering for the 435 kWp St. Pete Pier Solar Canopy in St. Petersburg, Fla. Our team worked with a major energy provider on the concept and then implemented the electrical photovoltaic (PV) design for the site. Electric vehicle (EV) chargers were also specified and integrated into the electrical design for the site. Our team prepared technical single-line drawings for the interconnect application.

McKim & Creed provided ventilation work connected with generator replacements at BayCare Health System, Inc. BayCare wanted to provide supplemental cooling to the utility building space that houses the chillers and switchgear. The project intended to temper the space at approximately 80˚F with relative humidity conditions as low as possible, considering equipment room supplemental cooling, chiller plant capacity, and structural loading.
