How BL Made it PossiBLe: OIP Technology

Apr 24, 2024

In one of our latest environmental projects, BL is using Optical Image Profiling (OIP) technology to 3D map hydrocarbon oil contamination in the subsurface soil column in addition to conventional methods of soil and groundwater analysis.

OIP technology represents a sophisticated practice involving the application of optical technologies to meticulously craft detailed and precise images of structures and landscapes. By harnessing tools like laser scanning, professionals at BL can capture exact measurements and dimensions of buildings and environments, thereby facilitating enhanced project analysis, design, and planning. This innovative approach has revolutionized the way architects and engineers work, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and innovation.

The Environmental team at BL works collaboratively with our Civil group to ensure seamless integration of environmental considerations into the overarching land development design and permitting aspects of projects, and this project in Torresdale, Pennsylvania is no different. This comprehensive approach encompasses various tasks such as managing contaminated soils, addressing stormwater infiltration issues, strategically placing monitoring wells relative to proposed site features, among others.
