Brad Altman
Engineering Project Manager
Mr. Altman is a recent addition to our GTA team who brings extensive knowledge of creating detailed Civil 3D design plans for various transportation, stormwater, and land surveying projects, as well as an in-depth understanding of best management practices for UAV surveying projects. His background includes completing projects for both public and private sector jobs of varying size and site conditions, ranging from major city roadways to rural landfills.
Mr. Altman has comprehensive expertise using Autodesk’s Civil 3D software for conceptual design studies, detailed grading plans, topographic maps, planometric site plans, and the production of construction plan sets. Mr. Altman has assisted with numerous transportation, land surveying, and stormwater projects from the conceptual phase all the way to one-hundred percent design plans, where he has filled the role as both design engineer and field engineer. He also assists professional land surveying staff with field work used to create the design plans for our projects. He has completed numerous grading plans for solid waste facilities that have been used to optimize daily fill operations, as well as a plethora of topographic and planometric maps detailing relevant construction information.
Additionally from his previous employer, Mr. Altman established the company’s drone mapping services, where he filled the role as the project manager (PM), field operator, and engineering technician for all UAV surveying projects. His responsibilities included conducting onsite UAV operations for aerial and topographic surveys, completing and managing the accuracy of post-flight processing procedures, and compiling topographic deliverables in Autodesk’s Civil 3D software. Mr. Altman also developed the company’s standard operating procedures for UAV field work and post-flight processing tasks, as well as all field safety protocols to ensure the protection of pilots, by-standers, and drone hardware from damage and liability. He has also conducted comprehensive studies to test the surveying accuracy of numerous UAVs at various flight altitudes, ground control spacing, and site conditions.
