Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWMN) has been awarded a multi‑year geospatial services contract to support the closure and redevelopment of a former coal‑ash site in central Virginia. The project, valued at an undisclosed amount, will cover more than 250 acres of former power‑generation land and will be executed in partnership with Glover Construction Co., Inc. Bowman will provide permanent survey control, UAV‑based aerial mapping, lidar data collection, construction stakeout, volumetric quantity reporting, and certified as‑built documentation throughout the program.
The contract places Bowman at the heart of Virginia’s statewide initiative to relocate coal combustion residuals (CCR) into modern, lined landfills and to meet federal and state environmental standards. By delivering high‑resolution geospatial data and compliance verification, Bowman will enable the project’s stakeholders to monitor environmental performance, manage construction activities, and maintain long‑term documentation for regulatory reporting.
This win expands Bowman’s footprint in the power and utilities sector, a key growth area for the company. The long‑duration nature of the contract provides a predictable revenue stream and reinforces Bowman’s strategy of targeting high‑margin, technology‑driven projects. The partnership with Glover Construction also opens the door to future collaborations on similar infrastructure programs, further strengthening Bowman’s position in the utilities market.
Founder and CEO Gary Bowman said the award “underscores Bowman's ability to combine technical innovation with operational efficiency on large, complex environmental and energy transition projects. Our continued investment in an industry‑leading geospatial team and an extensive fleet of collection equipment strengthens our ability to execute more multifaceted, long‑duration programs in vital markets like power and utilities.”
The coal‑ash closure program reflects broader regulatory momentum to retire aging CCR ponds and reduce environmental risks. Virginia’s mandate to move coal ash to engineered landfills has created a wave of remediation projects across the state, offering Bowman a clear opportunity to leverage its geospatial expertise and support utilities in meeting stringent environmental requirements.
