HVEA is pleased to have been awarded the high-profile Poughkeepsie Urban Trail project in the City and Town of Poughkeepsie. The goal of this exciting project is to develop an urban shared-use facility that is desirable to all types of users, connect communities with the resources of the area, and to provide the traveling public alternate means of transportation. This 2.7 mile urban trail runs through the heart of Poughkeepsie along two spurs of the former CSX right-of-way and will connect the communities and businesses in the City of Poughkeepsie to the Dutchess Rail Trail, local colleges and the Hudson River waterfront.
HVEA Engineers has the ability to deploy an aerial drone, flown by one of our FAA licensed operators. The drone allows us to get up-close HD views of hard to reach project elements and/or to assist in acquiring first-hand, detailed knowledge of a project area, evaluate traffic flow and inspect structures. This technology is especially useful in areas where high-volume traffic is present. We also use our drone technology to provide time lapse photography on our construction inspection projects including the Taconic State Parkway at Pudding Street in Putnam Valley, NY.
