SAIC develops customized, scalable Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) solutions. Our centralized GIS systems link to risk management portfolios that create efficient data management and real-time access and reduce cost for customers focused on overlapping geographic areas. SAIC’s systems include a multi-module, project-specific GIS with Web-interface, customized information, and information tracking database with Web-interface and customized modules for use in Google Earth that can be hosted and managed by SAIC or the customer.
GIS layers in risk management systems include:
Using GIS, SAIC digitizes and geo-rectifies hundreds of miles of abandoned petroleum pipelines, using historic pipeline engineering as-built maps. In addition, SAIC has scanned, evaluated, and georeferenced thousands of pages of historic pipeline spill records. This coupled with historic spill records and land-use and transportation planning data is used to gauge relative risk to customers, which can ultimately save time and money.
