Since
GIS technology is essentially "mapping", we can provide
practically any cartographic solution for Assessors, Utilities,
Municipalities or Private Parties that seek to employ this advanced
technology to manage their assets and daily operations. We specialize
in the needs of the rural Midwest by matching the latest ESRI
GIS technology with our exceptional mapping skills to ensure
the very best output on any GIS project.
When
building a GIS geo-database, it is essential to begin with an
accurate Base Map. We use all available resources from the client
and other appropriate sources to make sure that the resulting
files are properly geo-referenced, accurate and current. We
follow all requirements as mandated by the state or within product
specifications required by the client. The resulting layers
in the geo-database are built to state plane coordinate system
and reflect the current state of how Objects and Features on
the map actually lie on the face of the earth.
A
GIS geo-database is heavily dependent on the Data or Attributes
tied to the Objects on the map. We work with any type of database
currently employed by the client via a file link or help create
the data from available information as needed.
Potential
Applications:
County Assessors - We convert and rectify existing
Parcel Maps to much more useful GIS Digital Parcel Maps. This
is done using universally accepted practices to build, correct
and ortho-rectify all the parcels within the County's boundaries.
We exceed all existing state mandated standards when completing
our GIS projects and our maps are referenced to the state plane
coordinate system and registered to Public Land Survey System
(PLSS).
Water
Districts - GIS is a great tool for your maintenance contractor
to use for managing the daily operations of your Rural Water
District. GIS consolidates the geographic locations of all your
assets (towers, pipe, valves, meters, hydrants, etc.) with all
related data and integrates that into one system. This valuable
data includes things like:
|
|
When
and how repairs were made |
|
|
Make
and model of meters, valves, hydrants |
|
|
Records
of maintenance |
|
|
Identification
numbers |
|
|
Actual
physical location (geographic coordinates) |
|
|
And,
virtually any other information that is needed |
Your
GIS system will give you up to date maps and a permanent place
to store your data electronically. It presents a tremendous
saving of time, money and peace of mind.
Utilities/Cities - GIS is the perfect way to manage
the valuable "assets" that Utilities and Cities own
and are accountable for. Accurate maps showing all necessary
objects or assets may not exist or are at least outdated. Many
entities may have hard copy maps and separate data, but with
GIS, you can combine the two to have accurate, up to date maps
and data to professionally manage your systems.
Examples include: gas and water meters, gas and water lines,
sewer systems, fire hydrants, utility poles and practically
anything else that you need to locate on a map.
Private
Business - If you manage a business that is dependent
on locating your objects or assets on a map, GIS may be the
solution for you. GIS maps and embedded data base has virtually
unlimited utility for managing your daily and long term operations.
Let us help you build a GIS system that specifically fits your
needs and utilize the power of technology to accomplish your
goals.
