AT&T National Storage Tank Administration Program

Client: AT&T
Location: Nationwide

Hanson administered this $200 million program that included more than 3,000 sites nationwide. Hanson developed and managed a Geographic Information System (GIS) database to track the volumes of information about AT&T's tanks and sites. By accessing the database, AT&T could find different tank locations, determine storage capacities, and identify the type of fuel stored in the tanks. 

To create this database, Hanson's programmers interviewed members of the NSTAP project team to identify specific work processes that could be incorporated into the database. After completing the interviews, our programmers designed a database that was customized for NSTAP and AT&T. Hanson developed the database by translating information from several regional databases of varied format into one common operating system.

The database tracked budgets, schedules and facility information at approximately 3,500 locations and provided real-time information. The NSTAP project team could then access and update the database via a modem.
