J.D. Mollard and Associates (2010) Limited Information

J.D. Mollard and Associates (2010) Limited (JDMA) is a professional engineering, geoscience and environmental consulting firm based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The firm employs 5 professional staff with expertise in applied civil and geological engineering, geology, hydrogeology, geography, biology, remote sensing, GIS, terrain analysis, and environmental studies. JDMA specializes in terrain analysis, civil and geological engineering, remote sensing, environmental and geospatial analysis projects across Canada, around the world … and even on Mars. Typical projects include route location, terrain analysis and assessment studies for linear infrastructure such as roads, pipelines or high-voltage transmission lines, and site location and assessment for a wide range of industrial facilities. Other projects involve mapping present or historical ground conditions to identify geohazards, monitor changes in natural landscapes (such as forests or grassland), and tracking potentially dangerous earth processes such as slope movement or shoreline erosion. Many projects are located in remote areas of northern Canada, where changes in peatland and permafrost conditions can have significant impacts on development projects. Information assembled from satellite imagery and aerial photography is often supplemented with data from reconnaissance trips and field studies. Trucks, helicopters, ATVs and boats are used to scout prospective sites or to review a particular route or linear feature. Depending on the field studies required, JDMA field personnel employ a range of exploration tools including electromagnetic (EM) ground conductivity metres, ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems, and LiDAR. Field photos and videos are geotagged for easy integration with other geospatial data. The firm also has a full suite of geospatial tools for specialized data analysis and GIS-based modelling using the latest techniques and technology.
