Case Study 01: Frog Level / Davenport Farm Corridor
A corridor-focused screening built to highlight drainage pathways, terrain-driven low spots, and map-ready communication for fast review.
Case Study 01 — Frog Level / Davenport Farm Corridor (screening layout)
What it helps answer
- Where does water likely concentrate along the corridor?
- Which segments show the strongest low-spot / pooling cues?
- Where could road + drainage conflicts appear?
- What should be field-verified first?
- How do we communicate risk clearly to stakeholders?
Data used
- High-resolution LiDAR DEM (terrain)
- Hydrology layers (streams/drainage where available)
- Road + building layers (public sources)
- Cartographic cleanup for clarity and sharing
This is a screening product to inform decisions and prioritize next steps (not a sealed engineering design).
Why this approach works
Many maps look good but don’t answer the real question. This workflow keeps it practical: terrain → flow → risk cues → clear communication.
Builder-friendly
Outputs that read fast in the field or a meeting — without GIS jargon.
Engineering-style logic
Repeatable analysis patterns: terrain first, then flow signals, then risk cues.
Clean cartography
Layouts built for sharing: reports, emails, city review, and client updates.
How it works
Simple workflow. Clean deliverables. No confusion.
1) Intake
Send the address/parcel + what decision you’re making.
2) Scope + estimate
I reply with scope, datasets, and an estimate based on complexity + timeline.
3) Draft checkpoint
You get a midpoint preview to confirm AOI, labels, and clarity.
4) Delivery
Final map(s) delivered as PDF/PNG. Optional walkthrough if helpful.
Avoid costly drainage surprises.
Before permitting, grading, or purchase — get a terrain-based screening that flags likely runoff concentration, low-elevation pockets, and areas to field-check first.
