GIS & Spatial Data Management
GdB develops and customizes applications to manage spatial data for our clients. Our goal is to empower non-technical stakeholders with access to critical geospatial information via the web - creating a central repository of data which can be leveraged on future projects or maintenance of in-service assets.
We use multiple methods of data collection, including custom software, and ArcGIS Online services. GdB recognizes the value in using GIS to manage all types of spatial data. As the industry has become more digital, the need to manage this data requires the technical skill and innovation that we provide.
GdB is proud to be a Silver ESRI Partner Network member, working closely with ESRI to provide the most streamlined and modern solutions to our clients. Taking part in the ESRI User Conference every year in San Diego, the GIS Specialist team at GdB are up to date on the latest and greatest methods and tools.
Westchester County – GIS Needs Assessment
Through an existing On-Call agreement to provide GIS Consulting Services between GdB and Westchester County, GdB assisted the GIS team to perform a GIS Needs Assessment across multiple County departments. Westchester County has been collecting various forms of geospatial data from projects performed by County staff as well as contractors and consultants. A Needs Assessment was suggested to the County GIS team as a first step towards organizing and standardizing the Drone and LiDAR data so that the data can be used and leveraged throughout the County. The GdB team was uniquely positioned to complete this task with Westchester County given our Land Surveying, LiDAR/Drone, and GIS technology expertise.
FEMA – RISK MAP Region II Watershed Mapping
GdB has teamed with STARR II, as a survey subconsultant, through four fiscal years to perform Field Survey to obtain current “on the ground” data to support a RISK MAP Study in FEMA’s Region II which includes, Ontario, Orleans, Tompkins, Yates, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Seneca, Wayne, Chatauqua, Franklin, Genesee, Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Wyoming Counties.
HVDC Poseidon Transmission Cable Project
This was GdB’s largest ground control effort for Aerial Imagery to date. Field Crews set aerial targets at specified distances and provided survey accurate coordinates for photogrammetrists to perform their work to accuracy standards. GdB prepared and provided a complete survey file in AutoCAD Civil 3D utilizing pipe networks and progress was constantly tracked in GIS. This huge survey and mapping effort was expedited and completed within only six months, on time and within budget.
