Orthophoto and DSM Insights

Foundations and Structural Progress

• Foundational Areas: Progress has been observed with additional foundational slabs poured for housing units along the northern section of the site. The concrete has cured well, as evidenced by consistency in color and texture across these newly established areas in the orthophoto.

• Framing Advancements: Structural frames are emerging on multiple units along the western boundary, indicating a transition to above-ground construction phases. These frames are integral for supporting the roofs and additional structural components.

• Material Organization: Lumber and construction materials are systematically organized near the central storage area, which improves accessibility and efficiency for construction crews..

Digital Surface Model (DSM) Analysis

• Elevation Insights: The DSM data identifies elevation variations across the site. Key findings include:

• Highest Elevation: 55 feet (southwest corner near the existing infrastructure)

• Lowest Elevation: 42 feet (northeastern boundary)

• Implications for Site Grading: The site’s grading appears consistent with project requirements, showing a slight slope from southwest to northeast, which aids in drainage and aligns with design specifications for stormwater management.
