Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

PIONEER manages and maintains the GIS process for several large environmental projects.  GIS is used for data compilation, spatial analysis and geoprocessing, cartographic production, data management, and information queries.  These applications are used to analyze and assess human and ecological risks, as well as to create solutions to complex problems.  Maps, CAD files, and many other file types are created in order to manipulate detailed spatial data to simplify the needs of our clients. 

At PIONEER, we often create basic maps that communicate site conditions with customers, agencies, stakeholders, and the community.  However, we have also created more complex maps (e.g., cut and fill maps, Thiessen polygon maps, migration pattern analysis maps, and pollution analysis maps) to assist in data visualization, data and site analyses, redevelopment planning, sampling program development, and public meeting presentations. able to integrate software programs with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to create more detailed and advance maps.   Additionally, we have created customized data analysis and mining tools for ArcGIS using ArcObjects.  For these application, we retrieve data based on a geographical data selection in GIS, then perform data analysis on the selected data in SiteSTAT.  We then use the charts and tables available in GIS to display the results.
