Robert E. Lee and Associates worked with the City of De Pere to produce a regional development plan for street and utility installation. GIS-based mapping was utilized to identify environmentally sensitive areas, and locate areas that would be able to be developed. Potential street designs were produced for these areas, and preliminary utility layout was generated using LiDAR elevation data as reference.
The Village of Pulaski, Wisconsin contracted with Robert E. Lee & Associates to locate all sanitary, storm, and water utility features in the village, and create an online GIS system. Our survey team first GPS located all utility features in the village. Survey locations were accurate to within 1 cm, and elevations were collected for the features as well. The points were used along with record as-built drawings to input pipes and feature attributes to create a complete GIS system. The data was uploaded to the Village of Pulaski’s ArcGIS Online account, and maps were configured so the village staff can access the data from any computer or mobile device. The system was further configured to allow for collection of inspection data in the field, as well as collecting new points for curb stop valves and associated photos.
The Village of Hilbert contracted with Robert E. Lee & Associates to create a GIS database and online maps for water, sanitary sewer, and storm utility features in the village. Features from CAD systems maps were transferred to a GIS database and combined with GPS location data to accurately place point features on the map. Digital and paper as-built sheets were inventoried, georeferenced, and integrated into the GIS system. Connecting pipes and associated attributes of features were pulled from these as-builts, as well as feature as-built books, and tied into the GIS system. Interactive web maps were configured to view utility data from any device, and the as-built inventory was integrated with the system so all sheets could be viewed as PDFs. Editing features were added to the system so the Village of Hilbert can add notes to utility features.
The Green Bay Botanical Garden contracted with Robert E. Lee & Associates to create a detailed and geospatially accurate GIS basemap for the botanical garden grounds. The map was created using a combination of existing CAD drawings, orthophotography, and the ArcGIS campus basemap template. Once created, the map was uploaded and hosted on the Green Bay Botanical Garden’s ArcGIS Online account. An interactive web map was configured using the basemap, allowing visitors to the garden to learn more about the various features in the garden. In addition, mobile applications were configured to allow the map to be viewed on smartphones or tablets while navigating around the garden. With the basemap in place, the Green Bay Botanical Garden proceeded with other projects utilizing the map, including a story map tour of the wedding locations on the grounds, a donor map that depicts the locations of features that were donated to the garden, and an application used to track and mitigate invasive species in the gardens.
Denmark High School contracted with Robert E. Lee & Associates to provide a space needs assessment and mapping to analyze the potential for growth in the campus and identify the best possible location for new facilities. The project took into account feedback from various groups at the school to assess the space requirements for facility improvements like parking, an agricultural education classroom, a gymnasium and field house, a grand entryway to the football stadium, and an outdoor volleyball court. Maps depicting numerous possible layouts for these features were produced along with a report.
