That's a wrap on Trimble Inc. Innovate 2025! "This year's event was an outstanding opportunity for us to engage with industry peers, clients, and partners," Woolpert Technology Services Discipline Leader Mark Seastead said. "We're proud to showcase our GIS-centric, technology-driven solutions and continue to help our clients unlock the full value of asset lifecycle management." And why yes, we did throw a Clue-themed after party. Thanks to everyone who joined in on the mystery and fun! 🔎 #TrimbleInnovate #TrimbleInnovate2025 #GIS #AssetManagement Latice S. Rebecca D.

A 2024 study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that U.S. data center electricity demand jumped from 58 TWh in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023—and could reach 325 to 580 TWh by 2028. This explosive growth highlights that reconceiving water strategy isn’t optional—it’s critical.    Technology infrastructure—data centers, semiconductor fabs, EV battery plants—relies not only on power and connectivity, but also on water. As these industries scale, water has quietly become one of the most underappreciated gating factors in reliability, cost, risk, and speed to market.     Developers who treat water as an afterthought risk delays, cost premiums, regulatory hurdles, and performance issues. Those who embed water strategy early gain advantages in efficiency, resilience, and stakeholder trust.    Woolpert data center design expert Neil Sheehan and water management experts Marina Kopytkovskiy, Guy Carpenter, and James Schlaman PE, ENV SP discuss how an integrated architecture, engineering, and geospatial (AEG) approach can help clients build water strategies that are multi-phase, adaptable, and scalable for long-term growth.    Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/gwrg9PeN #TechnologyInfrastructure #WaterStrategy #HyperscaleInfrstructure #DataCenters

Riparian areas are transition zones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, such as streambanks, floodplains, and wetlands. When healthy, these areas play a vital role in maintaining and preserving high quality inland waters. Establishing minimum buffer widths is essential for reducing disturbance in riparian zones and for preserving their ecological functions. Woolpert Environmental Director Kyle Mckay recently contributed to the peer-reviewed article, “Developing predictive models of riparian buffer efficacy with meta-analysis,” which explores how riparian buffer width influences water quality and biodiversity outcomes. “Numerous studies have shown that riparian zones are essential for maintaining water quality and supporting biodiversity. Historically, decisions about buffer width have relied on qualitative assessments, which can vary significantly across regions,” Kyle shared. “This analysis compiles global data to establish quantitative thresholds that link riparian buffer width to measurable outcomes. These new predictive models enable communities to define the ecological and social benefits they want from riparian zones and to set evidence-based conservation targets accordingly.” The study was led by Rosamar Ayala Torres and supported by the US Army Corps of Engineers’ Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program.

There are few regions of the United States as defined by or as dependent upon their coastal waters as the state of Florida. At a time when shifting climate patterns are affecting coastal regions around the world in myriad, often undetermined ways, and with a need to understand coastal vulnerabilities and other issues, Woolpert and partners embarked on the ambitious Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative, a multifaceted project led by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to create a high-resolution seafloor surface model of the state’s coastal waters. The resulting model will enhance navigation, habitat protection, and coastal resilience, while deepening understanding of Florida’s marine environment.

When planning your move from Cityworks to Trimble Unity, integrations are an important part of the journey. Here’s what you need to know:  🔹API Compatibility: Are your current integrations built using APIs, or are they hardcoded/database triggers? Only API-based integrations are supported in Unity. Direct database connections and triggers must be replaced.  🔹Web Services & Webhooks: Unity’s webhook environment is evolving, but there are still limitations. If your workflows rely on triggers that can’t be replicated with webhooks, you’ll need to plan for alternative solutions.  🔹Third-Party Apps: Not all third-party applications are Unity-ready. Some legacy integrations may not yet be compatible. It’s critical to check with your app vendors about their Unity roadmap.  🔹 Future-Proofing: Consider tools like FME, Velosimo, or SpatialDNA to help bridge integration gaps and make future migrations easier.  Attending Trimble Innovate next week?
