GIS Geographic Information Systems (GIS) SERVICES Planning and Implementation Data Development Map Production GPS Data Collection Spatial Database Design GIS Analysis Web Applications Programming 3D Visualization and Analysis County and Municipal GIS School District GIS Integration of Information Systems

One of the most significant uses of GIS in Civil Engineering is to create, manage, analyze and visualize the data associated with developing and managing infrastructure. The compilation of this information allows engineers, construction contractors, surveyors, and analysts a single data source from which to work. GIS has the potential to solve spatial engineering challenges involving: site selection, hydrology and environmental studies, urban planning, and integration of multiple sources of information. Benefits to the implementation of a customized GIS system include: cost savings through greater efficiency, managing multiple geographic locations, improved communications, accuracy in record keeping, and more effective decision making.
