Alameda Water & Sanitation District

Custom GIS

Client:

Alameda Water & Sanitation District

Pupose:

Alameda Water & Sanitation District provides water and sewer services for approximately 500 customers in Lakewood, CO. Digital Data Services, Inc. was tasked with creating a geodatabase using disparate data sets. The intended purpose was to be able to create ad-hoc maps in house for engineers to use in the field as well as identify those affected by scheduled maintence or infrastructure issues.

Processes/Services:

The first step in creating the GDB was to clean up and conflate the data aquired from the different sources. DDS. worked with AW&SD to identify what fields were needed for each feature type. DDS digitized water main locations from existing engineering maps. The mains were attributed with length, diameter and grade. Newly aquired survey date of meters and vales wasa added to the GDB. As needed data was reprojected into State Plane Colorado Central FIPS 0502 NAD 83. DDS also supplied AW&SD with custom clipped high resolution aerials of their service area.

Upon delivery of the project DDS provided a series of training sessions to familarize the users with the data and tasks nescessary to create ad hoc maps and querys for specific needs.

Deliverable to Client:

.ArcGIS .shp files in a geodatabase
Hard Copy Mapbook of service area

Cost:

$7,000, ongoing project

Atlanta Falcons Marketing Map

Ticket Holder Demographic Map

Client:

The Atlanta Falcons (NFL)

Pupose:

DDS was tasked to create several demographic maps showing the location of current season ticket holders, along with the number of season ticket holders, within a particular zip code and/or county. The map was color coded to show market saturation and the final maps were used for market analysis and presentation.

Processes/Services:

DDS obtained a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet from the Atlanta Falcons which included a zip code and the number of season ticket holders within that zip code. DDS used GIS to geocode the spreadsheet so that the information became part of a spatial dataset used for creating the custom maps. Some of the final delivered products included a map showing concentration of season ticket holders within particular zip code and county regions, a map showing the average ticket price for a particular zip code region, and a map showing the Atlanta Falcons fan base.

Deliverable to Client:

Adobe .ai and .pdf files

Cost:

Approximately $500 per map
