Missoula Airport Terminal Expansion Remote Sensing Services The Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) needed to expand to accommodate the growing traveling public. At the completion of the expansion project, MSO will have: a minimum of eight aircraft loading bridges and parkingpositions, nearly double the footprint of the existing terminal, improvedenergy and operational efficiencies, upgraded passenger amenities, improved technology, and enhanced security features. Three-dimensional scanning is not new, but deliverability of 3D models on AEC projects can become problematic due to the size of the files. In many cases, surveyors will produce a model of an existing building only for the scan to be nearly unusable. Morrison-Maierle’sRead More →

Surveyors Provide View of Solar Eclipse Morrison-Maierle’s land surveyors treated their fellow employees to an old-fashioned, land-surveyor style show of the solar eclipse. Gunnar Getchell and his crew pulled an old survey instrument (theodolite) off the shelves that they used before GPS and more modern instruments were available. Surveyors used to attach a filter to the eyepiece and take “sun shots” or “solar observations” to get accurate direction (or bearing), which were highly accurate. “If we didn’t have a filter we’d use the field book or a white piece of paper as a backdrop and record the exact time that the left, (trailing) edge ofRead More →

French Gulch and Moose Creek Restoration Morrison-Maierle designed and oversaw implementation of restoration on over 7,400 lineal feet of French Gulch and Moose Creek in Montana’s Mount Haggin Wildlife Management Area. In the early 1900’s this area was mined extensively resulting in abandoned tailings piles in the floodplain. These tailings confined French Gulch, giving it no connection to a functioning floodplain and limiting complex aquatic and riparian habitat. At the Moose Creek site, remnant mining impacts were less severe but still inhibited the connection to the floodplain and stream planform. Morrison Maierle provided its clients, the Big Hole Watershed Committee and Montana Fish, Wildlife andRead More →
