HELLO, THIS IS JOHN ROMAR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
I'M MAKING A SHORT VIDEO TO DEMONSTRATE HOW WE USE GIS HERE IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS A NEWLY BUILT SUBDIVISION JUST NORTH OF FIRE WHEEL MALL.
AND, UH, THE COLORED LINES THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU ARE A REPRESENTATION OF THE UTILITIES FOR WATER, SEWER, AND STORM IN THAT AREA.
THE GREEN LINE YOU SEE HERE IS, UH, SANITARY SEWER.
UH, THE DARK BLUE IS A STORM LAYER, A STORM SEWER LAYER, AND THE LIGHTER BLUE WOULD BE THE WATER LINE.
YOU ALSO HAVE LITTLE, UH, CIRCLES AND SQUARES.
THE CIRCLES WOULD REPRESENT SANITARY SEWER MANHOLES.
THE INLETS ARE THESE LITTLE, UM, BLUE SQUARES.
UH, THE HYDRANT IS IN RED, RIGHT HERE ON THE FIRE, HYD ON THE WATERLINE.
AND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS ACTUALLY, UH, USED BY CITY STAFF, UM, TO HELP PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND CITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
IF YOU ACTUALLY CLICK ON ANY OF THE GRAPHICS HERE, YOU'LL GET INFORMATION THAT WE PUT INTO THE SYSTEM, UH, ABOUT THE ACTUAL INSTALLATION.
RIGHT HERE YOU HAVE THE PROJECT.
I, UH, NUMBER, THAT'S A UNIQUE IDENTIFI THAT WE ASSIGNED TO THE PROJECTS.
YOU HAVE A MATERIAL, IN THIS CASE IT'S PVC.
THE STATUS FOR THE PIPE IS ACTIVE.
UH, LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE WE HAVE HERE.
WE'VE ALSO GOT A HYPERLINK THAT WILL ACTUALLY OPEN UP THE RECORDS THAT WERE USED TO PUT IN THE PROJECT.
I JUST CLICK RIGHT THERE AND IT WILL OPEN UP ON A WEB BROWSER, THE ACTUAL AS-BUILT OR, UH, ENGINEERING RECORDS THAT WERE USED TO PUT THE PROJECT IN.
NOW WE DO ALL THIS TO ASSIST, UH, OUR ENGINEERING STAFF AS WELL AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT CARE ABOUT UTILITY INSTALLATIONS.
THERE'S A PLAT FOR THE PROJECT.
YOU CAN SEE THE PARCEL OUTLINES RIGHT THERE.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE PAGES THAT WE USED IN ORDER TO CREATE UTILITY NETWORKS.
WE ACTUALLY PUT THIS INTO THE, THE MAPPING INTERFACE, WHICH IS A MAP.
IT'S A PRODUCT, UH, A DESKTOP PRODUCT BY A COMPANY CALLED ES R I, THE LEADERS IN GIS SOFTWARE.
UM, BASICALLY PUT THIS IMAGE INTO THE MAPPING SYSTEM AND THEN RECREATE THE WATER NETWORK THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU.
THAT WOULD BE THE BLUE LINE RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THESE LITTLE CALL OUTS ARE REFERRING TO THAT LINE.
UM, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN UNDERWAY FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
AS FAR AS THE CREATION OF THIS NETWORK, THE WEB INTERFACE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS, UH, THROUGH THE GIS DEPARTMENT.
THEY RUN THE SERVERS THAT WILL ALLOW OUR MAPPING INTERFACES, UH, LIKE THIS TO EXIST.
THIS IS, UM, USED HEAVILY BY CITY STAFF IN ORDER TO VIEW UTILITIES IN THE CITY.
AND, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE JUST CONTACT ME IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
YOU CAN SEND ME AN EMAIL OR CALL ME DIRECTLY AT (972) 205-2294.
