Moonraker Mapping and Surveying
Location: Cameron Park, California
Industry: Commercial Real Estate
Project Overview
Synergy Mapping, Inc., in partnership with GSP Consulting, provided comprehensive aerial surveying and mapping services for the Moonraker Mapping Project in Cameron Park, California. Spanning approximately 20 acres, this commercial real estate project was critical in delivering the geospatial data needed to support land-use and development planning.
Commercial real estate projects like Moonraker require precise geospatial data to guide land assessment, infrastructure design, and zoning compliance. With a focus on accuracy and usability, Synergy Mapping, Inc. deployed advanced technologies, including high-resolution aerial photography, planimetric mapping, and contour mapping, to generate reliable datasets for stakeholders.
This project highlights Synergy Mapping, Inc.’s expertise in addressing the challenges of commercial land-use projects while delivering high-quality geospatial solutions tailored to the specific needs of the site.
Mapping Scope
The Moonraker project aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the site’s terrain and surface features to guide land-use and development planning. Accurate geospatial data was critical to assessing the feasibility of development, planning infrastructure placement, and meeting regulatory requirements.
Deliverables included high-resolution aerial imagery, planimetric mapping, and one-foot contour mapping for detailed elevation modeling. Additionally, color digital orthophotos with a 0.25’ pixel size offered geo-referenced imagery for accurate site analysis. These datasets were designed to integrate seamlessly into GIS and planning software, supporting efficient decision-making and land-use strategies.
Challenges and Solutions
The Moonraker Mapping Project presented several challenges typical of commercial real estate initiatives, including capturing high-resolution data across varied terrain and ensuring compatibility with planning and analysis tools. Synergy Mapping, Inc. tackled these challenges with innovative approaches and advanced technologies.
Challenge 1
Ensuring High-Quality Imagery and Mapping Data Over Varied Terrain
The Moonraker project site featured diverse terrain, making it challenging to capture precise topographic and surface feature data. The varied landscape required advanced techniques to ensure that the data was both accurate and actionable for land-use planning.
Solution 1
High-Resolution Aerial Photography and Color Digital Orthophotos
To address this challenge, Synergy Mapping, Inc. utilized high-resolution aerial photography at a scale of 1”=280’. This imagery provided a detailed visual representation of the site, forming the foundation for subsequent mapping efforts.
In addition, color digital orthophotos with a 0.25’ pixel size were produced, offering geo-referenced imagery that combined the benefits of aerial photography with spatial accuracy. These orthophotos were instrumental in identifying key surface features and integrating them into the broader planning process, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions confidently.
Challenge 2
Delivering Mapping Data That Could Be Directly Integrated Into Planning Processes
For land-use and development projects, it’s essential that mapping data is provided in formats compatible with industry-standard GIS and planning software. This ensures seamless integration into workflows and allows stakeholders to leverage the data effectively.
Solution 2
GIS-Compatible Deliverables
Synergy Mapping, Inc. ensured that all mapping products were delivered in GIS-compatible formats. These formats allowed stakeholders to integrate the data into planning tools, enabling further analysis and supporting the smooth transition of mapping insights into actionable development strategies. The seamless integration of this data helped reduce delays and improve project efficiency.
Services Provided
Synergy Mapping, Inc. delivered a range of advanced geospatial services designed to meet the specific needs of the Moonraker project. Each service was developed with a focus on precision and reliability, ensuring that stakeholders received actionable insights to guide land-use and development planning.
Service 1
Color Aerial Photography
High-resolution aerial imagery was captured at a scale of 1”=280’, offering clear and detailed visual coverage of the project area. The aerial photography served as the foundation for all subsequent mapping efforts, ensuring that the data was accurate and aligned with the project’s specific needs. This service allowed stakeholders to evaluate the site effectively and plan infrastructure improvements confidently.
Service 2
Planimetric Mapping
Planimetric mapping provided precise representations of surface features, including vegetation, infrastructure, and terrain elements. The planimetric mapping also supported the identification of natural and man-made features, ensuring that infrastructure and development plans could be designed with minimal environmental impact. These deliverables were essential for creating a comprehensive understanding of the project area.
Service 3
Contour Mapping
Contour maps with one-foot intervals were developed to provide detailed elevation data. Supporting a map scale of 1”=40’, these contours were instrumental in site grading, drainage planning, and infrastructure design. The contour mapping was instrumental in addressing challenges related to the site’s varied terrain. By providing stakeholders with accurate elevation data, Synergy Mapping, Inc. ensured that the project met the rigorous standards of commercial land-use planning and development.
Service 4
Color Digital Orthophotos
High-resolution orthophotos with a 0.25’ pixel size delivered geo-referenced imagery critical for accurate site analysis. These orthophotos combined the benefits of aerial photography with spatial accuracy, supporting seamless integration into planning and analysis workflows. The orthophotos were particularly valuable for evaluating surface features and terrain variations, ensuring that stakeholders had the data needed to design infrastructure and plan development effectively.
