Wetland Documentation App Seeks to Speed Environmental Evaluations

Building on or near wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas is a known challenge in construction. Keeping up on local, state and federal regulations takes effort, and most wetlands assessment work is traditionally very low tech, conducted with clipboards and pens. But a new app seeks to automate much of the wetlands evaluation process and then instantly populate the relevant forms and documentation.

“We equip customers with better tools to gather data which provide automatic calculations and look-up tools needed to make decisions in real-time, in the field,” says Jeremy Schewe, Ecobot cofounder and chief scientific officer.  “This eliminates what used to be hours of manual calculations and multiple touches of the same data, usually done when scientists returned to their offices. Hours saved can add up significantly during a large project or across hundreds of consultants at any given firm.”
