The Role of GIS Mapping in Modern Water and Waste Management In today’s data-driven world, Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping has become a cornerstone of effective water and waste management. Leveraging GIS technology is essential for asset management and pipeline inspections, providing a comprehensive and accurate view of infrastructure. What is Geospatial Mapping? GIS mapping integrates spatial data with various types of information, creating detailed, interactive maps that can be used for analysis, planning, and decision-making. In the context of water and waste management, GIS mapping enables the visualization of pipelines, water sources, waste facilities, and other critical assets. Read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/dYFpJpR8

In road rehabilitation projects, efficient material management is key to cost savings and sustainability. Recently, we leveraged QGIS to calculate the volume of reusable base, subbase, and subgrade materials within existing pavement structures. By integrating GIS technology with detailed pavement data, we can accurately assess which materials are reusable, significantly reducing the need for new materials and promoting environmental sustainability. This approach not only enhances project efficiency but also helps in achieving more sustainable infrastructure development. Key benefits: Precise volume calculations of reusable materials Cost-effective material management Environmental sustainability through reduced material waste Enhanced planning for road rehabilitation projects With the power of QGIS, road rehabilitation projects can achieve better outcomes while reducing environmental impact. It’s a great example of how technology can help shape the future of infrastructure! #QGIS #RoadRehabilitation #Sustainability #Infrastructure #Construction #GIS #CivilEngineering #Innovation

Today, water utility companies face constant challenges managing aging infrastructure, with costly repairs and upgrades straining budgets.     Our CEO, Andy Berry, explains how modern GIS apps can help water utilities make better-informed decisions to help tackle these challenges.     Read the full Water Magazine article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eEVNMQTp 

💡 Why Should Local Towns, Cities, And Municipalities Bring Modeling Efforts In House?

Excited to share my most recent blog post!

🔍 Planning Between Acceleration and Participation: Lessons from Major Infrastructure Projects Mega infrastructure projects, like highways and energy facilities, are vital for our future but bring complex challenges. Our short video "Planning: between protests and calls to pick up the pace" explores how sustainable, integrated planning can address these issues. Gerard Hutter, Anika Slawski, Majken Larsen and Arnór Bragi Elvarsson provide insights into balancing speed with careful consideration. Their perspectives on the Emscher Conversion and Fehmarnbelt Tunnel highlight the importance of local involvement and responsive planning for better societal outcomes. Watch the video on arl-international.com https://lnkd.in/eTwMEjMi or on our YouTube channel https://lnkd.in/ejFdt2bC What do you think is more critical in planning major infrastructure projects: speeding up the process to meet urgent needs or ensuring thorough public participation and environmental protection? How do you balance these competing priorities in your own work or projects? #Infrastructure #Planning #Sustainability #RegionalDevelopment

Measuring #CarbonImpact before #commissioning requires an in-depth knowledge of the fundamental use of the #infrastructure, which can only be accomplished in close collaboration with the client. The Massongex-Bex-Rhône (MBR) project, which is a run-of-river hydro infrastructure, needed to have an exhaustive understanding of the #CarbonFootprint resulting from the project, to assess and validate working hypotheses, and ensure consistency of the results. Learn how dss+ supported #MBR in the journey: https://lnkd.in/d5AVTWuX
