GIS
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a technology critical to the successful management and completion of many projects. It integrates spatial data, software and hardware with skilled professionals, enabling the detailed analysis of opportunities, constraints and potential impacts at any scale. GIS has now become an invaluable tool for the management of complex environmental challenges and for the planning and daily management of project progress.
360 Environmental and GIS
360 Environmental’s GIS capabilities range from data capture through to analysis and visualisation. 360 Environmental provides GIS services in the following areas:
- Environmental mapping – flora and fauna surveys and mapping; GPS and GIS data capture; thematic mapping using ground-truthed data.
- Environmental risk, constraints mapping and ‘least cost’ analysis – use of current and extensive datasets combined with project-specific data.
- General cartography and designs – cross-section and profile plans; technical designs and maps tailored to complement professional reports.
- GIS data manipulation and analysis – digitising, data conversion, rectification, transformation and projection; undertaking location, linear, area and volume analyses.
- Predictive modelling - catchment modelling, slope and flooding risk analysis, noise and odour modelling.
- 3D landscape modelling - digital terrain models, contour generation and groundwater mapping, 3D rendering, conceptualisation and fly-throughs.
- Remote sensing - thermal imaging for industrial areas, private households and environmental fluxes; multispectral imaging for broad-area surface analysis.
- Aerial photography - full colour and hyperspectral in various resolutions; ancillary data including contours and building footprints.
Experience
360 Environmental’s commitment to GIS is reflected in our market-leading GIS software (ESRI suite, MapInfo and ERMapper) and leading computer aided design (CAD) programs. We have access to high-end imaging and remote-sensing technology backed with ground-truthing expertise. Our aim is to provide independent advice and targeted solutions to meet individual client requirements.
360 Environmental projects that have utilised GIS technology include water resource studies, water quality management, ecological and heritage survey analysis, contaminated land mapping, land capability assessments, offset planning and identification, transportation planning and infrastructure maintenance. Our GIS specialists are able to provide planning, analysis and customised services for projects requiring the manipulation of spatial data.
Project Profile
360 Environmental supports a wide range of environmental, engineering and development projects and the diverse nature of 360 Environmental’s business means that GIS implementations range from small mapping exercises to large planning and analysis projects for Clients in both the public and private sectors. GIS examples include:
- Tropicana Joint Venture – GIS and mapping for environmental assessment and approvals
- Main Roads Western Australia - delineating suitable areas for inclusion within the conservation estate within the Swan Coastal Plain
- Three-dimensional concept modelling Chittering Valley.
