Geospatial Project Information Management System at Herbert Hoover Dike-PPT Presentation

PPT Presentation

Pdf Summary

The presentation describes a geospatial Project Information Management System (IMS) developed for the Herbert Hoover Dike rehabilitation in Florida. The 143-mile earthen dam surrounds Lake Okeechobee and protects nearby communities and the Everglades from flooding. Rehabilitation includes constructing a cutoff wall up to 65 feet deep along a 43,000-foot reach, using pre-drilling and cutter soil mixing to create rectangular panels.<br /><br />The project generates a large and varied body of information, including investigation and boring data, excavation and construction records, verticality measurements, quality-control results, sample properties, verification borings, photographs, videos, and submittals. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires an IMS, while the contractor also uses it to support quality control, review data and analyses before submission, and automatically produce drawings.<br /><br />The system is designed to make project data available in usable formats quickly. Automated processes transfer information from Bauer’s B-Project and other sources into an enterprise database in near real time. Geospatial tools then provide access through web maps, web profiles, full-scale GIS, database tables, and drawings, including automated as-built products and direct database access.
