Geographic Information Systems in Right of Way Clearing
A geographic information system (GIS) is a digital tool used to gather data directly from the field, such as surveying vegetation, measuring the depth of cover, and identifying possible obstructions. Once the information is gathered, GIS transfigures it into images and maps that are easy for you to understand. It also records our crew’s location and progress on your project, providing you with real-time progress updates at every turn.
We understand the importance of full transparency in every job, and with geographic information systems, you will never be left in the dark. Learn more about GIS and why this tool should be implemented in your next utility project.
Benefits of GIS for Right of Way Clearing
There are many ways geographic information systems aid right of way clearing. Not only do they make our job safer and more efficient, but they also allow our customers to understand what is happening every step of the way.
Some benefits of GIS are:
- Identify and mark work obstructions and hazards.
- Mark access points and staging areas.
- Collect work points so our crew knows what work needs to be done and where.
- Import files and create maps.
- Edit and update parcel information for landowners.
- Track completed tracts.
- Mark areas needing further ROW clearing or specific vegetation needs.
- Mark areas of shallow pipe or erosion.
- Mark where line markers are located.
- Document before and after photos for proof of work and for liability reasons.
