Over the last decade, Geographic Information System (GIS) technology has emerged as an extremely powerful tool with applications in virtually every industry imaginable. The layerized, data-driven mapping capabilities of GIS provide an invaluable resource to cities and municipalities for integrating departmental data, making well-informed decisions, and producing high-quality, interactive maps.
Joseph E. Bonadiman & Associates, Inc. understands the potential of this amazing technology and we are dedicated to utilizing GIS to compliment our surveying, engineering design and hydrology/hydraulics software development efforts. We operate a full-time GIS department comprised of qualified and innovative data specialists, geodatabase designers and cartographers.
Our sixty-four years of professional civil engineering and land surveying experience gives us insight that proves invaluable in building and maintaining complex land and water/wastewater system geodatabases, as well as infrastructure modeling and professional map production. Our background in Information Systems (IS) design enables us to provide the advanced data integration services necessary for an organization to fully benefit from a GIS.
As pioneers of hydrology/hydraulics software applications that are considered by many to be industry-standards, we believe very strongly in the potential of using GIS-driven software and web applications to extend the value of GIS within organizations. To that end, we are proud to be a committed member of the ESRI Developer Network (EDN).
Work Examples
Please click on the thumbnails below for "screen shots" of some of the GIS projects we have completed or are currently working on.
Currently, Joseph E. Bonadiman & Associates, Inc. is working with the Lake Arrowhead Community Services District (LACSD) in Lake Arrowhead, CA to develop their land, water distribution system and wastewater collection system geodatabases. The following projects are indicative of the services we have provided to LACSD thus far.
Parcels Geodatabase Creation
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Used existing AutoCAD atlas and Assessor Map data as the basis for building a complete, spatially-accurate Parcels Geodatabase containing Assessor Parcel Number (APN) data for easy integration with San Bernardino County datasets.
Census Tracts/Block Groups Shapefile Integration
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Integrated San Bernardino County U.S. Census Tract/Block Group shapefiles and associated data with the completed LACSD Parcels Geodatabase (see above). Used spatial analysis to generate census/LACSD boundary overlap presentation maps and data tables.
Water/Wastewater Standby Charge Verification
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Currently in the process of verifying LACSD water/wastewater standby charge data against the LACSD Parcels Geodatabase (see above) and San Bernardino County Assessor data.
Water Distribution System Geodatabase Creation
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Currently in the process of building the LACSD water distribution system geodatabase using existing AutoCAD drawings and printed "as-built" information. The completed geodatabase will incorporate network and topographical relationships to integrate with third-party modeling software and asset management data systems.
Wastewater Collection System Geodatabase Creation
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Currently in the process of building the LACSD wastewater collection system system geodatabase using existing AutoCAD drawings and printed "as-built" information. The completed geodatabase will incorporate network and topological relationships to demonstrate system flows and integrate with third-party asset management data systems.
External Data Systems Integration
Lake Arrowhead Community Services District
Currently in the process of integrated existing third-party utility billing, customer service and asset management systems with the LACSD GIS. This integration with include creation of custom "macros", buttons, and applications to aid LACSD staff in working with cross-system data.
