HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NV5 Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “NV5”) (Nasdaq: NVEE), a provider of technology, conformity assessment, and consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded an $8 million contract by the US Geological Survey (USGS) to support wildfire studies and mitigation efforts in Northern California. This new agreement is an expansion of two prior contracts awarded to NV5 by the University of California (UCSD) and USGS to support wildfire studies and mitigation efforts in California’s Northern and Southern Sierra Mountain Ranges.

“Diminished water supplies due to extreme drought across the West have increased wildfire risk, and NV5 continues to lead the industry in providing geospatial and engineering services to understand and combat these environmental threats,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5. “NV5’s geospatial analysis and award-winning water resource engineering solutions are a key component of California’s efforts to minimize drought and wildfire impacts.”

The project supports a multi-agency funding partnership that includes federal, state, and regional entities and includes topographic lidar data acquisition and processing of 19,137 square miles of the North Coast of California. Geospatial data from the program will support various applications with a primary focus on providing highly accurate topographic data critical to wildfire studies, water resource management, and land use management.
