Facilities & Asset Management GIS

Many facility/asset management systems rely on state, federal, or regional digital maps for general information. For facility (sewer, water, drainage, road, signage, public building inventory) and revenue-based information (land parcel data, taxation parcels) in geographic coordinates, they rely on conventional data collection sources, such as surveyors.

DBS provides support in streamlining these methodologies for the selection of attribute data, collection schedules, mapping, and data interfacing.

Asset Management Examples:

GIS applications including field information management:

• Incident analysis
• Urban tree planting
• Parking meter analysis
• Bridge mapping and inspection
• Pavement management systems
• Levee maintenance and management systems

Organizations that manage urban assets:

• State and local transportation departments
• Municipal gas utilities
• Municipal water utilities
• Municipal sewage utilities
• Regional planning bodies
• Downtown development districts
• Levee districts

Examples of urban asset features and attributes to be mapped:

• Storm drains
• Hurricane protection levees
• Culverts and driveways
• Access points (manholes) for underground electric, water, sewage, and gas distribution systems
• Street light poles and utility poles
• Fireplugs and other emergency equipment, and emergency water supplies
• Street signs (general, regulatory, and directional)
• Traffic signs
• Property boundaries (zoning, land-use, planning, jurisdictional, and tax collection)
