Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful decision-making technology

GIS makes it possible to collect information about the earth’s surface and link it to location through a geographic database (geodatabase). The resultant map gives us a better grasp of how data interrelates and the ability to analyze it because the map shows relationships and patterns not readily apparent in rows and columns.

GIS is important in helping local governments manage the development review process, perform comprehensive planning, process building permits and map infrastructure.

Our GIS services include:

• Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis — supporting stormwater management and floodplain planning
• Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Planning — aligning with regulatory compliance and developing future replacement plans
• Land Use and Development Planning — including zoning, annexation analysis, and growth management
• Transportation and Pavement Management — asset mapping and condition assessments (PCI)
• Permitting and Development Review — streamlining approval processes with GIS-enabled systems
• GIS Data Integration — converting CAD, field data, and survey records into GIS databases
• Interactive Web Maps and Dashboards — sharing data with staff, residents, and contractors
• Field Data Collection — using GPS and mobile application tools to capture real-world conditions
• Asset Management — helping cities build datasets for long-term maintenance planning (Source Water Protection Planning [SWPP])
• Emergency Planning and Response — identifying flood-prone areas for development planning, and mapping fire protection boundaries and response times

EEI provides support through all phases of GIS development including user needs assessment, software and hardware selection, installation, training, application development, data conversion, strategic planning and ultimately, data maintenance using ESRI ArcGIS and Autodesk products.

Because there is no need to hire a subcontractor for land surveying services, the process is more efficient, prompt and cost effective.
