The Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Geotechnical Engineering,
is developing plans for the implementation of a Geotechnical Data Management
System (GDMS). While numerous state agencies and organizations utilize systems
for managing geotechnical information, only a few state DOT are attempting
to fully integrate their document management system, plan review process,
geohazard inventories with monitoring data, and geotechnical asset inventory
system with maintenance and operation data and construction support in a web-enabled
GIS format. Intended as a functional repository with numerous tools and modules
for querying, reporting, modeling, and analyzing geotechnical data, the GDMS
will support not only the Ohio Department of Transportation, but also the
geotechnical community at large, including consultants, geotechnical laboratories,
research and academia, and numerous state and federal agencies including FHWA,
ODNR, USGS, OEPA, and USACE.
ODOT has geotechnical information dating back
to the 1920s, much of which is only in paper format. Studies have shown the
replacement value of the data to be estimated at $500 million. Implementation
of the GDMS will not only provide electronic preservation of this vast store
of geotechnical information, but will also make it accessible for future investigations,
analyses, and engineering designs further adding to the value of ODOT's geotechnical
information repository.
This presentation will describe in detail the modules
and tools of the GDMS from the perspective of several user case scenarios.
From a rather simple scenario where a County Engineer can conduct an on-line
search in a GIS platform for known geohazards near a county roadway to a more
interesting scenario where a consultant collects borehole data in the field,
desires to check it for accuracy and completeness, and submits it online to
the
GIS and
Environmental Data - Presentation given by Scot D. Weaver in August
2002 to the Hong Kong GIS Association at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and
to the Environmental Engineering Society of Singapore at the National
University of Singapore. Describes historical environmental events and
legislation in the US and in Singapore that predate the current regulations in
the environmental industry. Covers case histories and describes software and
tools used to manage environmental data and facilitate decision making based on
the best available technologies.
