GIS (Geographical Information System)

GIS for Engineering & Public Works

Public works and engineering professionals keep our cities and counties moving. They maintain land records, keep traffic flowing, design utilities, and protect the environment.

A Powerful Tool

These complex and crucial tasks require powerful and sophisticated tools such as GIS that provides the next step in the evolution of infrastructure management technology whether you are looking for accurate mapping tools, moving beyond traditional computer-aided design (CAD) tools, or integrating modeling into your master plans.

Supporting Public Works

GIS supports engineering and public works functions such as survey mapping, traffic and street management; plus maintenance and service program management.
