Meter Mapper ™ is a customized ArcPad (ESRI) application created for Trimble GPS Units.

Our customized application provides an excellent platform for collecting GPS data in the field.

Water Meter Audits are a growing request due to the state enacted law (AB 2572) requiring all water suppliers to install water meters on all customer connections by January 1, 2025. The use of water meters promotes water conservation by informing customers how much water they use over time. Most customers already have a water meter... However, overtime customer databases become outdated, CAD gets converted to GIS, and meters need maintenance and replacement. Our Meter Mapping Program assist water districts in locating and mapping all water meters within a system, help comply with the Senate Bill, and provide ways to create a GIS system that can...   Minimize water leakage and maximize billing. Confirm and update account billing information. Accurately map location of meters using GPS. Confirm recent CAD to GIS conversion. Schedule maintenance and service work orders

An account database is geocoded using customer addresses. The data is added to Trimble GPS units along with our customized Meter Mapper application created for ESRI ArcPad. Field crews collect GPS data and enter attributes for each meter. Final results of the audit includes a GIS user friendly shapefile that provides water districts valuable information to make important decisions. Attributes of the file includes a GPS location for each water meter within 1 foot along with...   Account Address Meter Type & Size Box Shape, Size & Material Condition of boxes and registers Location Descriptors Pictures of Ambiguous Meters Routing Optimization for Service Our Application is fully customizable to collect any desired attributes for each meter. Once data is collected it may be used to confirm CAD to GIS conversions, update system networks and provide GPS for GIS systems. The cost of meter audits pay for themselves or time by lowering water leakage and maximizing billing.

Golf courses are often criticized for adversely affecting the environment, but a well-managed, properly irrigated golf course can benefit the environment and the surrounding community in a variety of ways.

Best Management Practices (BMPs) and new technologies are available that offer course management staff an opportunity to reduce wastes while saving money and improving efficiency.

By practicing waste minimization you can improve your bottom line while keeping a course evenly green and well managed. Using Turf Image Products will help...

• Reduce the use of chemicals
• Minimize the expense of waste disposal
• Reduce the exposure of workers and the general public to hazardous and toxic materials
• Reduce the threat of product liability
• Maximize compliance with environmental regulations and requirements
• Minimize impacts on the environment and surrounding waterways

Turf Image Course Maps help to reduce or eliminate pollutants and wastes at the source. The idea behind pollution prevention is to avoid producing the waste in the first place. If the waste is not produced, then you don't have to worry about storage or disposal.

Waste can result from golf course operations such as pesticide use, irrigation, chemical storage, chemical mixing and loading, and equipment maintenance. The maintenance of a golf course
requires the use of a considerable quantity of chemicals from pesticides and herbicides to fertilizers. All of these chemicals can cause water quality problems if runoff water is not properly managed. Solvents such as xylene and aromatic petroleum derivatives are used heavily on golf courses as pesticide carriers.

During application, using Turf Image products help pinpoint geographically what types of materials need to be used and how much of each chemical mix should be applied. By saving water and chemicals Turf Image products help cut a few strokes of the cost of course management.

Environmental Research and Monitoring encompasses various aspects of biology, chemistry, hydrology, and environmental issues like climate change, conservation, groundwater and soil contamination, use of natural resources, pollution and waste management.

Environmental monitoring is really why geospatial technology exists today. NASA research teams used satellite imagery to detect the global changes in climate, land and oceans. Over the years geospatial technology has become more accurate and widely available allowing for more extensive scientific research protects. GIS and GPS technology provides a platform for conducted field research and land stewardship while making geodatabase and maps for documentation and compliance.

Our team has partnered with a variety of environmental experts to produce a variety of environmental products..

Using geospatial technology such as remote sensing of LiDAR and digital aerial and satellite imagery, GPS and GIS allows for extensive accurate monitoring projects for a variety environmental reasons. Our team have held environmental consulting seminars and provided the following services...   Land Use Inventories Biological Assessment Environmental Assessment Land Stewardship Plans Vegetation Classification Endangered Species Habitat Conservation Grazing Plans Terrain Modeling Watershed Modeling

GIS-T applications have benefited from many of the standard GIS functions (query, geocoding, buffer, overlay, etc.) to support data management, analysis, and visualization needs. Like many other fields, transportation has developed its own unique analysis methods and models. Examples include shortest path and routing algorithms, spatial interaction models, network flow problems, facility location problems, travel demand models , and land use-transportation interaction models.

GIS-T is one of the leading GIS application fields. Many GIS-T applications have been implemented at various transportation agencies and private firms. They cover much of the broad scope of transportation and logistics, such as infrastructure planning and management, transportation safety analysis, travel demand analysis, traffic monitoring and control, public transit planning and operations, environmental impacts assessment, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), routing and scheduling, vehicle tracking and dispatching, fleet management, site selection and service area analysis, and supply chain management.
