    GIS as means of construction operations optimization

    What is the current method of tracking production values for fleets of 777s or the like? Has anyone heard of using RFid tags to monitor their movement past a point on a haul road. THis can in turn be dumped into something like an excel file for load counts and other production values. This excel...

    GIS as means of construction operations optimization

    Iam thinking GIS because of its capabilities in handling databases, and the use of the Avenue language to create add-ins etc more specific to the job. THere is also the potential for modeling, not as advanced as say hydraulic modeling of some kind, but the capability does exist for the GIS...

    Tracking Bid History

    Hello, I was curious if you had an idea of what sort of literature would aid in the development & implementation of a bid history template/format in excel & possible use w/ access.

    GPS...record cordinates as an atribute in data dictionary?

    Andyrens, First thing's first....I am not a surveyor. What form does your raw survey data take? Is it a spreadsheet? ESRI has allowed for table "joining" with about any spreadsheet, geodatabase, etc. imaginable.... note that your x pos. will be placed into one column, y pos. another, etc...
