Projects

Our GIS Rail Asset Management Program focuses on the thorough field verification of assets ensuring accurate data, representation and reporting. 

• Asset Inventory and Condition Assessment:

  • Rail Infrastructure:

    • This involves identifying and documenting rail-related assets, including tracks, bridges, tunnels, signaling systems, warning/control devices and other infrastructure components. :

    • Creating a comprehensive record of all assets, including their location and condition. 

• Encroachment Assessment:

  • Identification:

    • Detecting any structures, utilities, or activities that encroach on the railroad's right-of-way, such as pipelines, power lines or unauthorized access. ​

• Reporting and Documentation:

  • Detailed Reports.

    • Creating comprehensive reports that document the assessment findings, including asset condition and encroachment locations. 

  • GIS Systems:

    • Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map and visualize asset locations, encroachments, and other relevant data using mobile data collection techniques.

We have extensive experience in emergency response operations, having actively participated in coastal emergency response, notably during the Cosco Busan incident.

Our work included:

• Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) in combination with NOAA and the California Department of Fish and Game..

• Tracking personnel in the field

• Chronicling the daily coastal oil recovery numbers

• Creating daily wall (war) maps for the EOC to view each morning.

​

​

• We conducted scattered data interpolation to calculate contaminated groundwater for hydrocarbon remediation at or near storage facilities.

• We created up to date maps and data on contamination (benzene, toluene and xylene) levels at each monitoring well, based on regular observations at specified intervals..

• As contamination was remediated the historical data could show progress in remediation as well as predicted flow patterns in the ground water.

​ 

• We have performed overland flow analysis for liquid pipelines to conduct High Consequence Areas (HCA) analysis..

• We managed both current  historical HCA analysis reports within a SQL database for auditing federal reports.

• Created spatial queries in PODS to support PHMSA Annual reports and ensured data quality maintenance for the PODS database.

• Managed GIS data to facilitate state and fedetral submissions through ARCGIS Portal Dashboards.

• We collaborated with various business units to develop integrated GIS solutions using Survey 123 forms and custom SQL databases for the observation results.

• We can assist in or submit regulatory documents to TxDOT, NPMS and PHMSA.
