Services
GIS Utility Mapping
Our GIS utility mapping services create detailed digital representations of water, sewer, and stormwater systems. Using advanced GIS software, we develop geometric networks for valve isolation analysis and capacity planning. Our solutions include hydrant labeling coordination for fire departments and mobile applications for field data verification. This enables municipalities to maintain accurate infrastructure records and optimize maintenance operations.
Land Use Planning
We digitize zoning regulations and future land use plans using GIS technology. Our services include permit review, planning report preparation, and 3D mapping for smart city initiatives. We develop interactive dashboards for census demographic analysis and create presentation graphics for public meetings. Our work supports sustainable development and community engagement through data-driven planning decisions.
Disaster Recovery
Our post-disaster recovery services integrate FEMA's Substantial Damage Estimator tool with GIS platforms. We create comprehensive damage assessments by linking tax parcel data with pre- and post-disaster aerial imagery. Our system tracks permit information and provides interactive field tools that enable real-time communication between office staff and field teams during hurricane recovery operations.
Engineering Design
We apply GIS throughout the engineering design cycle from site investigation to construction administration. Our approach ensures data consistency across all project phases and facilitates seamless GIS migration after construction. Services include plan preparation, permit documentation, and development of schedules for bid evaluations using integrated GIS platforms that prevent data duplication.
Mobile GIS Solutions
We develop custom mobile applications for field data verification and asset management. Our solutions enable real-time updates to GIS databases through mobile devices, improving data accuracy for utility systems. Field teams use these tools for construction quantity tracking, asset inspections, and emergency repair documentation while maintaining synchronization with central GIS systems.
