Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is rapidly establishing itself as one of the most effective and cost efficient methods of mapping, monitoring and analyzing data to help municipalities and utility companies plan now and for the future.

NE&C is committed to providing, promoting, and implementing state-of-the-art GIS technologies in planning and engineering operations as required by our clients. We will also always be there to instruct and update our clients so they will have a full understanding on the benefits of this versatile technology.

At the base level, GIS can be thought of as a high-tech equivalent of a map but it is actually an electronic filing cabinet with hundreds of pages of information. GIS models can be produced quicker and more efficiently than conventional maps, and the storage of data is in an easily accessible digital format that enables analysis and modeling not previously possible.

Identifiying Needs for Municipalites and Utility Companies is what we do best:
Our GIS professionals work with you to identify your needs prior to development, saving you money and time down the road.

The reach of GIS expands into all disciplines and has been used for such widely ranged problems as

Community Planning:

• Environmental impacts
• Land Use
• Infrastructure planning
• Demography
• Resource availability
• School Bus Routing
• Emergency Planning
• Transportation

  Example:
  The Federal Highway Administration's Transportation and Community and System Preservation Pilot Program (TCSP) has funded projects in all 50 states that link transportation, community, and system preservation practices. Many of these projects used innovative analytical approaches to assess and communicate the impacts of transportation and land use decisions on mobility, the environment, and economic development. GIS played a key role in supporting these analytical methods
