Lu Engineers offers
services in many aspects of GIS. Geographic information systems (GIS) are
powerful planning tools that enable fast, efficient, and accurate
solutions to a wide range of global, national, and local problems. A GIS
is a computer system that holds and uses both locational and descriptive
information about places on the earth's surface.
Because of our extensive
land surveying experience, Lu Engineers can ensure the precision and
reliability of your GIS data, providing realistic and documented accuracy
assessments. Our land surveyors are experts at creating, representing and
manipulating the land-related data that forms the very foundation of the
GIS database. Accurate computer maps require accurate data in the
computer.
Our professional land
surveyors are trained to ascertain accurate data for precision mapping.
For many organizations, the accuracy of their GIS data is constrained by
funding, schedules, data availability, skills, priorities and other
factors. It should not be constrained by knowledge. Our professional land
surveyors are knowledgeable about GIS and trained in mapping. They are
particularly well qualified to ensure the accuracy of the largest portion
of a municipality’s investment in GIS—the GIS database.

GIS Services Services we
provide include:
Grant Writing/Needs Assessment
Lu Engineers can assist municipalities in applications for GIS grants
under the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund.
GIS Consulting
We can assist with the planning and implementation of GIS. Our GIS
consulting services typically include system planning, system
specifications, system implementation, coordination and quality control of
data conversion projects, training and system support. We are uniquely
qualified to help plan and set standards for building the GIS cadastral
layer, topographic mapping and GIS metadata (data about the data).
GPS Surveys
Our land surveyors can provide GPS surveys that support GIS. Utility
features, such as poles, valves, hydrants and so forth are often located
using GPS survey techniques.
GIS Database Construction and Maintenance
We can also assist you in creating a GIS database. This database
construction work involves a great deal of field work and research into
land and utility records in order to collect data and to resolve
discrepancies in existing hardcopy records such as tax parcel and
subdivision record plats, zoning and land use maps, utility maps and so
forth. We can also assist in the maintenance of the dat a.
