Feature like benches, playground equipment, or trash receptacles can be located, assessed for condition and photographed. Adding a layer for an ADA accessibility assessment or for planning a long-term park improvement schedule can be very powerful. These internal management tools can also be adapted to provide park information outside your organization to the community. Story maps are a powerful way to educate and encourage park use.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Wouldn’t it be nice to quickly verify if your utility is within a recorded easement? Banning offers a powerful solution for utilities and municipalities to manage their utility easements. We leverage our land surveying staff to create an interactive web-based map showing all the easements across the utility territory. The user can click on each easement to see details like instrument number, area, and even a picture of the recorded document. This map can be made available to field personnel through Esri mobile applications for android and iOS devices.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Are you ready to get serious about managing your street network? Since 2016, the Community Crossings Matching Grant through INDOT has required an asset management plan. Banning can create an interactive map of your street network with each segment color coded by PASER Pavement rating. More powerful yet, showing multiple years of PASER data can show deterioration trends. With this data, you can create a long-term capital improvement plan with a powerful visual to show the public and elected officials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”326″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

GIS plays a strong role in solving problems internal to the organization. This same data can often be leveraged to promote, educate, and engage the public. Banning provides services to host web-based maps, story maps, and even customized mobile apps for a variety of case uses.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”427″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Having an accurate system map empowers the utility manager to make data-driven decisions. With data like pipe age, material, and size a water utility manager can start planning a pipe replacement program. This approach is common but does not tell the whole story. Banning engineers can use the GIS system data to quickly create a hydraulic model. The hydraulic model is a powerful tool to show current system deficiencies as well as performance under future development flows. This data allows the manager to make pinpoint improvements for the largest system benefit. The resulting data, mapped in the GIS system, is a powerful visual to graphically show the short and long-term capital improvement plan for your utility.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”324″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
