Meet Jake Campabello, survey party chief on Merrick’s geomatics team. Jake is a certified Part 107 drone pilot specializing in drone mapping, GPS, 3D scanning, and mobile lidar, integrating multi-source datasets into precise digital deliverables across land boundary surveys, utility mapping, and large-scale facility surveys.
His work has taken him all over, from Colorado to Puerto Rico, where the Geospatial Research and Development (GeoRAD) program brought him face-to-face with one of his favorite projects so far. There, Jake and his team scanned the interior and exterior of the Dos Bocas hydroelectric dam, merging multiple datasets into a comprehensive 3D model of the entire facility.
Currently working towards his Professional Land Surveyor license, Jake’s trajectory is as impressive as the datasets he creates. We’re proud to have Jake on the Merrick team!
