Cooper Aerial Project Named Project of the Year
The Eloy-Casa Grande Height Modernization Survey was named Project of the Year at the 2007 APLS Conference.
Cooper Aerial played a lead role in this project, teaming with a number of organizations to make the project a success. After the City of Eloy experienced record breaking growth the City participated in a geodetic control densification and vertical enhancement program. The project was designed to provide more accurate and efficient base maps, enable sharing of geospatial information between organizations, lower the cost of surveying, mapping and aerial photography and enable the accurate determination of elevation for engineering and mapping projects in the area. With the completion of this project the city of Elloy has created the most modern and accurate survey control available in Pinal County.
Cooper Aerial is proud to have played an integral part in the success of this project.
Everyone at Cooper Aerial would like to bid farewell to Tyler Roberts and wish him well. Tyler has been with Cooper for a year serving as a Project Manager. Tyler will be attending the University of Colorado at Boulder in pursuit of his PHD in Geography.
