Schnabel’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capability supports our professional services in many ways. For example, our Geotechnical Engineering, Soil Improvement and Grouting, Dam Engineering, Geophysical Services, Groundwater, and Wetlands service areas routinely utilize our GIS capability to assess, analyze, visualize, and organize projects on several levels.

• To model source water impacts by identifying pollution sources, their distances from the source water and estimating the amount of time it would take for the pollutant to reach the source water
• For dam breach analyses to generate inundation maps and design escape routes
• To analyze instrumentation data on large sites and graphically represent the measurements taken by those instruments to show changes due to placement of fill and settlement
• To view multiple intersecting geophysics electrical resistivity profiles in three dimensions to analyze below-ground information
• To visualize compaction grouting in three dimensions
• To present relatively simple data such as location maps, topographic maps, soils maps, and watershed maps, such as to automatically delineate a watershed.
