GIS & Spatial Analysis

RSCS uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to organize, analyze, manage, and visualize location-based information across environmental, engineering, radiological, and infrastructure projects. GIS provides a common spatial framework for integrating environmental sampling results, groundwater conditions, radiological data, utilities, subsurface infrastructure, facility assets, survey information, and historical site records.

Our team applies GIS to site characterization, groundwater investigations and monitoring, environmental remediation, radiological surveys, Final Status Surveys, emergency planning and dispersion mapping, buried infrastructure management, decommissioning, and long-term site management. Field-collected GPS data can be incorporated directly into GIS to accurately locate sampling points, survey data, infrastructure, and other project information within the broader site environment.

Our GIS team also integrates facility models, buried piping, utilities, and other engineering information into the geospatial environment, providing a comprehensive site-wide view. This integration can support asset management by connecting physical assets and infrastructure with associated engineering, environmental, operational, and field information.

Whether used independently or integrated with BIM, digital models, and asset information, GIS transforms complex datasets into accessible spatial information that improves visualization, analysis, coordination, and decision-making.
