GIS and 3-D Modeling

Tools such as Geographic Information System (GIS) software and Environmental Visualization Software (EVS) integrate data with drawings, maps, or images to create powerful 3-D displays of information.  Project managers incorporating these tools in an overall plan have realized savings of up to 75 percent on characterization and remediation budgets by selecting sampling locations using geostatistically guided site assessments. These tools guide remediation design and monitoring efforts by providing 3-D visualization of groundwater.  Data visualization tools help to determine mass, volumetrics, and disposal costs.  Clients have found the maps and animations for public relations, risk communication, and litigation support extremely valuable for presenting complex information to a wide audience quickly and cost-effectively.
