Water
and Wastewater Master Plan
USAID and Harza Engineering
 For
the Middle Egypt Master Planning Project, HGI provided a set of
planning tools to help manage water and wastewater infrastructure
development in three governorates (states) in Egypt. HGI implemented
an ArcView GIS solution to support decisions using facilities
data, CAD drawings, GIS data, GPS and field survey data.
Field
Collection and Data Management
Chicago Housing Authority
 Highland
Geographic developed a GIS-based field data collection and desktop
GIS management system for the Chicago Housing Authority. Using
handheld computers with ArcPad, HGI streamlined the field capture
process, minimizing entry errors. HGI developed an ArcView-based
desktop application to organize and display field data with Chicago
Housing Authority's GIS data and CAD site drawings.
Flood
Visualization and Data Development
City of Rye, New York
 In
support of Harza Engineering company, Highland Geographic, Inc.
(HGI) used GIS as an integral part of an approach to the development
of comprehensive, watershed-based flood mitigation plans for two
watersheds within the City of Rye, New York.
Forest
Management
Various Clients
HGI developed a Forest Management Decision Support System (DSS)
to integrate growth models and valuation equations with ArcInfo
and Oracle databases. The DSS application lets foresters analyze
forest inventory information to produce quarterly reports and
optimize field activities.
Spatial
Decision Support System
US Department of Energy, Small Business Innovation Research
 HGI
developed an initial Spatial Decision Support System to formalize
the management aspects of the biomass supply chain into the fuel
mix of existing power plants. Through three modules, the SDSS
provides components for macro site selection, manual intervention,
and micro site selection.
Municipal
GIS Implementation
City of Poughkeepsie, New York
 HGI
performed a GIS implementation project for the City of Poughkeepsie,
New York. The project included application development and conversion
of CAD drawings of water and sewer systems into ArcInfo coverages
utilizing GPS and digital orthophotography for control.
Parcel
GIS Development
City of New Britain, Connecticut
Town of Colchester, Vermont
 Using
a unique and highly accurate lot line conversion method, HGI developed
a parcel GIS for both the City of New Britain, Connecticut and
the Town of Colchester, Vermont. HGI employs a method of manually
recompiling lot lines using lot dimensions as shown on the original
tax maps, resulting in both a greater relative and absolute accuracy
for parcel features.
Requirements
Analysis
Harza International, Corporacion Venezuelan Guyana, and Electroficacione
del Caroni
 HGI
performed a comprehensive requirements analysis through staff
interviews and inspections of hydroelectric facilities. After
completing a needs assessment, HGI drafted and extensible implementation
plan for a basin-wide GIS.
