GIS Mapping

GIS Overview

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information(what things are like there). This provides a foundation for mapping and analysis that is used in science and almost every industry. GIS helps users understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. The benefits include improved communication and efficiency as well as better management and decision making.

Benefits

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows users to have visibility of assets, operations, and critical data at their fingertips. E.J. Prescott’s field professionals collect high-accuracy GPS (2-3 cm) data, and as the data gets configured and analyzed a map is designed. Complete system maps or sections of systems can be completed and configured providing geographic data for each asset.

Services

Team EJP provides the field service of locating, mapping, and inspection of assets which provides a detailed map with critical notes about each system. With the initial data of existing GIS maps, paper maps, tie-cards, and other information regarding the project, Team EJP can ensure the map gets completed with the correct information. With the expertise, advanced tools, and approach to each project Team EJP is providing a quality product that will be used for the lifetime of the system
