A Geographic
Information System (GIS) is a powerful tool for making effective
resource management and planning decisions. Any spatially
associated information can be analyzed using a GIS, including
geological, biological, ecological, and cultural data. Elements
can be viewed individually or collectively to show individual
details or contextual relationships. Three very different
disciplines are combined in a GIS: data development, spatial
analysis, and data presentation. These aspects are integrated
to provide greater flexibility and superior analytic capability.
Rincon
Consultants, Inc. provides state-of-the-art GIS services.
Extensive planning and analytical skills compliment our
strong GIS skills. Depending on the needs of the client,
Rincon can present spatial analysis in the form of maps,
charts or tables. By visually representing geographic information
and its associated characteristics and attributes, clients
have an additional option for communicating project information.
Applications for GIS analysis include the following:
Environmental
Impact Analysis
- Overlay
critical resources to determine which project alternatives
will minimize impacts.
- Combine
potential impacts to represent cumulative effects of the
project on environmental resources.
Environmental
Assessments
- Quickly
locate resources in the vicinity of a project site such
as utilities, fire stations, and hospitals.
Biological
Resources
- Overlay
maps of land use, habitat type, soils, and hydrology to
guide selection of potential restoration sites.
- Map
planting plans and model success of colonization.
- Monitor
restoration efforts by mapping plant distribution and
size class.
Site
Remediation
- Produce
detailed maps of bioremediation cells, groundwater extraction
systems, sampling plans, boring logs, site plans and contour
maps showing existing and final design grade.
- Prepare
model costs and success of site remediation plans to optimize
system management.
