September 2021 Community Engagement

Oct 1, 2021 | Civic Engagement, Featured

Pendleton Bicentennial  

Starting Wednesday, September 8th through Sunday, September 12th, 2021 the Town of Pendleton celebrated its Bicentennial.   Banning Engineering was proud to be both a financial sponsor and supply staff for the event. Banning staff volunteered on Sunday, September 12th from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm for the Town’s Community Luncheon and Bicentennial Celebration Ceremony (Honoring the Town of Pendleton & Six Bicentennial Legacy Projects) and afternoon activities for the community. Banning is proud to be an engineering and survey service provider for Pendleton.

    Road Building with Brentwood Elementary 1st Grade Classes 

    A teacher at Brentwood Elementary in Plainfield reached out to Banning Engineering asking us to talk about engineering during her science class. Mark Butler and Pete Rusche of Banning found a fun way by means of a class demonstration on how a road is built.  They used various candies to build the layers of a road within a small-scale Plexiglas box.  They had a few slides to show pictures of a real road being built.  They also called on a few volunteers to help in class and handed out some kid-sized plastic hard hats. It was a great event, and the kids had a lot of fun gaining some new knowledge.

    2021 Quaker Day Parade 

    As proud members of the Plainfield community, Banning Engineering employees participated in the 2021 Quaker Day Parade. Employees participated in building the Love Your Neighbor-themed float, as well as parade day activities. Banning employees and family members rode on the float, drove ATVs, and passed candy out to community members. This was an awesome opportunity to be a part of the great community that Plainfield is.

    GIS Mapping for Easement Management

    [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_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”327″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    GIS for Marketing and Public Awareness

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Banning is in the business of helping clients meet their utility, facility, and economic development needs.  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]

    GIS Support and Hosting Services

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]At Banning, we are committed to developing a solution that works best for your organization.  Are you looking for a way to leverage your staff to collect utility data?  Banning provides services to set up your map templates, guide you on hardware, train your staff for efficient and accurate collection, and provide GIS support and hosting.  This approach is most effective in creating excellent maps even when budgets are limited.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”417″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    Utility Asset Management

    [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]

    GIS Mapping for Utilities

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Have you ever had a late-night main break, but can’t find the shut-off valves?  Is your senior operator about to move on or retire?  Afraid his 30 years of system knowledge will go with him?  These are two common examples of problems utility managers face.  The solution has never been easier or more affordable.  Mobile GIS mapping technology can revolutionize the way you run your utility.  Banning offers map setup, training, GIS support and hosting services for a wide variety of utilities including Water, Wastewater, Storm, Gas and Electric.  Using the latest in cloud-based Esri® Collector mapping technology, let Banning show you how we can:

    • Map your system to the accuracy that’s appropriate for your system and budget
    • Print reports for permitting agencies
    • Link features like valves, power poles and manholes to photos, as-builts, and videos
    • Securely host your map online for mobile device access
    • Leverage viewing and collection apps for use on android and iOS devices
    • Setup inspection layers for routine maintenance tracking
    • Train your staff on collecting and managing the data
    • Prepare your system for SRF funding eligibility
    • Prepare GIS Standards for contractors so the financial burden of map additions is put on developers

    GIS Maps for Parks

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Facility managers can bring the park inventory struggle to an end by creating an interactive park inventory map.  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_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”325″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large” img_link_target=”_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    PASER Road Rating Maps

    [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]
