| McLane Environmental employs geographic
information system (GIS) and data visualization technology as an
integral part of our projects to analyze and display spatial data
that may include soil types, borehole data and geologic features,
groundwater elevation or chemical concentration data, and computer
modeling results. Graphical display of environmental data produces
superior analyses, and conveys the results of those analyses in
a format that is readily accessible and easily understood.
GIS and 3-D data visualization require sophisticated software utilizing
high-speed computers coupled with extensive training and experience
to properly render the data. Our analysts apply a wide array of
geospatial data processing software and techniques that generate
graphics in a number of output forms including Virtual Modeling
Reality Language (VRML), 3-D animations, fly-through animations,
and interactive internet-enabled maps.
McLane Environmental offers a range of GIS, data analysis, and
data visualization services including:
- Environmental Database Development and
Data Management
- Data Format Conversions
- Environmental Data Analysis

format graphics with or without overlays for presentations to
clients, municipalities, and state and federal regulatory
agencies.
- Courtroom exhibits, demonstratives, and
other graphics to support the testimony of our experts or other
experts.
- Interactive maps that can be accessed
through our secure Internet Map Server (IMS) to facilitate
collaborative work among project team members and as a tool for
presenting environmental site data to clients, regulatory
agencies, and the public.
- Complex environmental databases that use
Structured Query Language (SQL) queries to extract data subsets
for data visualization, computer modeling or compliance reporting.
- Aerial photo and remote sensing images and data to support
environmental site reviews and data analyses.
The GIS maps and sophisticated graphics we utilize in reports,
public meeting presentations, and litigation settings enhance the
viewer’s understanding of our findings and results, and work
effectively to clarify and strengthen our client’s position. |
