Critigen, CyArk and National Park Service Provide “History for the iPod Generation”
Posted: 2/1/2010Greenwood Village, Colo., February 1, 2010 – Critigen, a global technology consultancy for critical infrastructure, in conjunction with the National Park Service and CyArk, has completed field work on the San Antonio Mission project – a project that involves the digital documentation of four of the Missions of San Antonio as well as the oldest continually used aqueduct in North America.
The San Antonio Missions digital preservation project provides a three-dimensional, digital model capable of recreating built surfaces with an accuracy of less than 1 centimeter. The digital archives are so detailed and accurate that the Texas Board of Education is considering using it in its high school history curriculums. “What we’re creating here is history for the iPod generation,” said John Brown, Critigen’s senior 3DLS practice leader.
Critigen boasts the world’s largest, private geospatial consultancy and most often leverages its expertise to fuse location-based data with business information to provide a powerful capability for solving business problems. It’s a burgeoning business sector; in fact global spending on SIM services is expected to reach $14 billion by 2011.

Aging Infrastructure and Decreased Budgets
Posted: 2/11/2010How local governments can use technology to maximize ROI on infrastructure assets in 2010 and beyond.
In today’s age of decreasing budgets, the demand for public funding and the competition among local, state, and federal officials for scarce resources generally results in officials making decisions that provide only for the most immediate needs. Decisions about long-term capital expenditures usually get deferred. Often officials do not have the ability to evaluate the risks associated with their decisions and the consequences of deferring maintenance or capital improvements that extend into the future well beyond their time in office.
