Geographic Information Systems

The tool of choice for managing your spatial data

Imagine having vital, up-to-date information about your project or organization right at your fingertips. 

Envision that with the simple click of your mouse, you could access a wealth of information about your project or organization and its day-to-day activities. A Geographic Information System (GIS) can make this a reality and serve as an important decision-making tool to help you manage data integral to your organization's success.

Hanson can design a GIS to help you organize existing information, or provide you with a framework for gathering and storing information in the future. Developing a GIS will allow you to store and maintain engineering drawings, maps and other data in a single source, enabling you to retrieve, view and analyze spatial information quickly and easily. This will not only save you time but money as well.

By using a GIS, your organization or project team can share information through either a wide-area network (WAN) or a secured Internet/Extranet connection. The system also can be used to import and analyze mapping and data developed internally and by outside sources.

For years, clients have called on Hanson to provide GIS services. We can create a new GIS database for your project or organization, or provide a dataset to increase the usability of an existing GIS. Below are a few of the many projects we have successfully completed for clients. Click on a picture or project to see more.
