541370GIS Geographic Information Systems Services Geospatial technology and analytics are changing the way infrastructure, transportation, water, and natural resources are analyzed and managed. Through the use of GIS, a variety of tools and workflows are available for leveraging technology to overcome today’s greatest challenges. Whether mapping infrastructure, analyzing transportation corridors, collecting resource field data, or configuring a Story Map for a watershed, NCE’s GIS experts work closely with our clients to develop a GIS that empowers them to find answers to their most challenging geospatial questions.

NCE staff have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the GIS needs and the importance of geospatial data in making critical operational, management, and capital decisions. These decisions require well thought out tools which allow for efficient management, deployment, and dissemination of spatial data (both internal and external for the public). Our experience with GIS and asset management is extensive and includes projects for municipalities across the western United States. Our services include mobile data collection, integration with asset and pavement management system software and detailed mapping capabilities utilizing ESRITM and ArcGIS.

Cloud-Based Data Collection – NCE leverages the ESRITM software platform including ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS Online (AGOL), and the Collector application loaded onto mobile devices paired with high accuracy GPS receivers to efficiently collect spatial and attribute data. This innovative and advanced field data collection workflow is implemented across NCE’s various disciplines and includes infrastructure inventories including pavement and sidewalk assessment and storm water network inventories, biological surveys and cultural resource surveys.

P a g e | 6

The process involves developing a unique geodatabase (GDB) for each data collection effort that defines the specific data requirements for each project (e.g., feature types, subtypes, attributes, and domains), publishing the GDB to AGOL as a web service, configuring the resulting feature layer within a web map, and then accessing the web map through the Collector application on a smartphone or tablet.

Photos are uploaded to AGOL as attachments to spatial data if one or more pictures are desired at a given location. If cellular connectivity is an issue for a project area, the Collector application can collect offline data and then syncing with AGOL once connectivity is re-established.

If higher accuracy spatial locations are desired, our mobile devices can be paired with Bluetooth GPS receivers such as the Trimble R1, which can collect real-time (SBAS) corrected, or submeter (RTX subscription) corrected spatial data. However, since GPS signal strength is related to visibility of the sky, special circumstances may dictate that the accuracy level decrease in areas of the city with obstructions.

Another advantage of NCE’s cloud-based data collection method is that data can be subjected to quality control in real-time by project managers or other staff. This is important in the initial phases of data collection to correct errors quickly. It also enables quick status assessments (e.g., percent complete) throughout the life of a project.

Field data does not need to be downloaded and converted from proprietary formats to a GIS to perform QA/QC or status update assessments – it is simply a matter of logging onto AGOL and accessing a web map or adding the map service to an ArcGIS for Desktop map document. Compared with conventional clipboard, pen and paper approaches, this method is less error prone, more efficient, and seamlessly allows for the development of figures, tables, or reports to summarize the data.

Special Equipment – NCE has a variety of tools to assist us in developing cost effective products. The Trimble Geo7X standard GPS device that is rated for a horizontal root mean square accuracy of half a meter. We have used this for collecting data on sidewalk distresses, stormwater network inventories, biological surveys, wetland delineations and cultural resource surveys.

Pavement Analysis Pavement design and plans, specifications, & estimate (PS&E) for preventive maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction are specialty core service line for NCE. NCE offers extensive experience and expertise in pavement treatment alternatives and the firm has designed and/or evaluated more than 1,000 roads throughout California and Nevada. NCE’s civil and geotechnical engineers not only understand the types of pavements and treatment options, they also understand the significance and cost implications of proper roadway support on competent subgrade soils to limit future settlement and cracking. Unlike traditional civil engineering firms that rely solely on core samples, NCE employs pavement inspection expertise in conjunction with deflection data and materials testing to more accurately assess the engineering properties of the existing roadway.

Coring – NCE operates a 40 HP Acker core rig for fast, efficient coring and shallow boring–whether on two-inch-thick parking lot pavements or four-foot-thick airfield pavements. Cores are carefully examined, measured and photographed by experts, with special care for stripping, delamination, paving fabric, and other conditions that need to be considered in the selection of the appropriate maintenance or rehabilitation treatment.

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) – The DCP is a fast and simple tool that can be used to develop a detailed profile of soil strength versus depth; this is ideal for characterizing subgrade quality for pavement design. In contrast to laboratory testing, DCP measures in situ strength at the actual in-service density and moisture content.

Good correlations exist between the DCP penetration index and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) or R-value. The thickness of individual lifts of aggregate base or fill can often be determined from DCP results, and DCP is one of the few tools that provides a good indication of the quality of existing aggregate base materials. DCP can be performed through core holes, or a one-inch-diameter hole drilled with a hammer drill.

Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) – The FWD is a rapid and nondestructive tool for determining the in situ stiffness of pavement materials. With the ability to apply loads varying from 1,000 to 30,000 pounds, NCE's FWD can be used for unpaved roads, international airports, and everything in between. Through multi-layer back calculation, the elastic modulus of individual pavement layers can be determined, along with stress and strain values at critical locations within the pavement. The rapid speed of FWD testing enables evaluation at many more points than would be possible with destructive testing, enabling actual in-service variability to be measured and accounted for in design. The FWD is ideal for evaluating existing pavement materials for pavement overlay or rehabilitation design, but has many other uses, including construction quality control and void detection. NCE is the original owner of the first FWD built in the U.S., and NCE continues to be at the forefront in developing the FWD testing and data analysis procedures used worldwide.
