| Abstract: | With hundreds of miles of City-owned waterfront spread across its five boroughs, New York City has one of the most diverse waterfront environments in the world. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), which manages over 100 of the City’s waterfront properties, has recently completed a comprehensive waterfront data collection and developed a custom facilities management system to manage inspections, recommendations, budgeting, procurement and capital project execution. The Waterfront Facilities Mapping Program involved performing a complete inventory of the City’s waterfront infrastructure. Bowne Management Systems, in partnership with Ocean and Coastal Consultants Engineering (OCC) and EDC, mapped waterfront facilities using GPS data collection technology. Field survey crews performed both land-based and underwater investigation, capturing and photographing the locations, features, and conditions of the City’s waterfront infrastructure. After completion of this extensive data collection effort, Bowne and OCC developed the Waterfront Facilities Maintenance Management System (WFMMS), a cutting-edge technology solution that supports web browser-based query and maintenance of GIS and tabular data. WFMMS is available to users at EDC and several partner organizations. It is also accessible to real estate developers and the contractor community, thus helping to promote economic growth throughout the City. |
