GIS Mapping
Water & Environmental Technologies (WET) offers a wide varity of mapping services:
- Environmental Data Mapping
- Stormwater
- City and County GIS Database Development
- Transportation Modeling
- Watershed Analysis
- Data Conversion/Analysis
GPS Mapping
Water & Environmental Technologies (WET) offers GPS (Global Positioning System) mapping services to provide better accuracy in locating site features. This mapping can be used to locate streams, wetlands, bore holes, monitoring wells, weeds and other important features identified on a site.
Equipment
Our Trimble GeoXH mapping units use H-Star Technology to provide sub-foot corrected mapping accuracy. Mapping accuracy of the GeoXH is more variable and is dependent on canopy cover, but can provide sub-foot accuracy.
Saves Time
Water & Environmental Technologies (WET) typically uses its GPS equipment to provide timely and accurate mapping of environmental features. This mapping typically saves time and money over conventional survey methods. We can normally provide a map of our findings within 1-2 days following completion of the field work, versus 2 weeks or more for a typical survey crew. The field data is downloaded, exported to GIS, and then over-laid onto a base map. As with any GPS system, there are some limitations. The GPS is a mapping quality system and does not replace conventional surveying when survey quality accuracy is required.
