| Abstract: | GIS technology provides the ability to readily access spatial information, run analysis’s and disseminate data. The technology is heavily dependent on the quality of the data that it is projecting in order for it to accurately convey the information. As it applies to environmental consulting, this technology is critical in the support of project scientist and engineers in their efforts to meet project goals and regulatory compliance in a cost effective manner. To support these efforts innovative tools have been developed to collect and distribute this data. Technologies employed include the use of Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) and Tablet PCs with custom developed applications, mapping-grade and survey-grade (RTK) GPS, and environmental database management systems (EDMS) to maintain all data captured. Once collected this information is brought into a GIS environment where it is modeled and analyzed to produce outputs such as contaminant mapping, volume estimates, and subsurface cross-sections. To display analytical result data custom tools have been developed through ArcObjects for both rapid and accurate generation of chemical boxes and soil profiles drawing data directly from the EDMS. Not only are these solutions cost effective but they also provide superior end products and have a higher degree of quality. |
