» Architecture

Architecture is more than outward appearance. It is a result of planning and designing through a process of innovative thinking. A process that involves the synthesizing of beauty, functions, and cost into a working solution. GIS helps architects in spatial analysis, master planning, and building design. Architects can make use of GIS database to optimize their plans and design. Although GIS has not fully entered the world of CAD designs for building; nevertheless, a building is a spatial entity that allows for design decisions to be made for the location to place the plumbing in a building or the most suitable location and design of landscape.

GIS can also be involved in code analysis for the design, building materials analysis, and document management of all the finishes and furnishings. You can manage scheduling and invoices of cupboards using through spatial relations between architecture drawings and documents.

» Chemical Engineering

GIS is useful in the chemical engineering field. For example, simulations can be developed for effective management of contaminated sites. A system containing GIS integrated with 3D numerical model can be used for analysis of contaminants in subsurface zones. GIS is used in managing spatial and non-spatial databases, linking inputs / outputs with the model, and providing an interface between the GIS and the user. Chemical concentrations in groundwater can be modeled in the system. Conditions of the contamination in different time stages under a variety of remediation scenarios are predicted within GIS. Reasonable outputs are graphically represented. Implications of the modeling outputs can be analyzed spatially for regulations. Even when building a chemical plant, GIS is used for automated design of plants.

» Civil Engineering

GIS applications in Civil Engineering are numerous. They range from transportation and traffic analyses to hydraulics and hydrology. GIS can be integrated with SCADA systems for live visualization of network systems. Designing structures is the use of numerical analysis of a spatial network of beams and columns. Almost in anything you can think of, GIS is a tool that will help you in analyzing your designs. G&L can assist you in the utilization of GIS in many civil engineering applications. We will also facilitate your use GIS in full integration with engineering CAD drawings as we can also migrate and convert your CAD drawings into GIS.

Construction management is one of the most demanding jobs. GIS models for construction management reduces the amount of wasted time to better utilize resources available for lean construction. GIS can diminish the complexities of construction management to a fully integrated system that allows higher efficiency.

» Electrical Engineering

GIS is important to electrical engineers. It permits modeling and analysis for electrical network distribution in urban and rural areas. It also aids electrical engineers in managing facilities. Analysing redundant networks is also of high importance in the electrical industry to ensure that failure will not affect the electric network. Planners can analyse the rising demand of electricity through GIS socio-economic data. Are you thinking of placing a wind farm? Where will you place the wind farm? How will you know the best location to place your wind farms? The analysis requires you to integrate several sources of data to obtain an optimised model. G&L will assist your industry in reaching efficient decision-making procedures through GIS analyses.

» Environmental Engineering

GIS and Environmental Engineering have always walked hand in hand. GIS models are created in various environmental fields from mapping water quality models to dispersion of air pollutants. G&L can help you in providing the best solutions for optimal environment assessments and analysis. GIS can be used for mapping wildlife habitat for ecological models. In an ever-changing world, environment is an important field of study that requires different inputs and integrated data from various sources, both spatial and non-spatial.

GIS aids the environment industry by integrating spatial data from a variety of sources into a common framework for subsequent manipulation, analysis and visualisation to produce a digital representation of real world scenarios. The ability of GIS to perform analysis across multiple data layers allows effects to be predicted and spatial patterns and relationships in data to be identified that might otherwise go unrecognised. Since most environmental information has a spatial component it can easily be integrated with other data in a GIS to model environmental systems.

G&L offers a range of environment-based GIS services to private and public sector organisations.

Current GIS capabilities of G&L include the creation and maintenance of environmental databases, data conversion (e.g., from CAD, GPS and other GIS formats), mapping, spatial analysis and environmental modelling. Current and other possible applications include catchments management projects investigating the relationship between land development and environmental quality, environmental classification projects and the development of environmental monitoring systems to meet resource consent conditions. Relevant GIS functions include landuse mapping, contaminant load calculations for hydrological models, aquatic ecology and water chemistry assessment, the classification of waterways based on their chemical and physical attributes or on their distance from potential sources of contamination, and real-time evaluation of monitoring criteria.

For each project GIS provides an efficient data management system with easily interpreted graphical output, making it a useful means of conveying technical information to a general audience and a useful tool in the decision-making process.
