Sub-consultant to Camp Dresser & McKee
Based on a geographic information system (GIS) needs assessment commissioned by
the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, CDM performed an
analysis and prioritization of GIS application
requirements and developed an implementation plan to meet
those requirements.
The three-phase, 5-year implementation plan addressed a prioritized application
development schedule, plans to use and/or develop data
layers to support background mapping and applications (i.e.,
runways/taxiways, lighting/signage, parking facilities),
and hardware and software procurement necessary to
maintain and deliver the GIS data.
Included in CCI's responsibilities was the development of a separate parcel
database from data drawn from County records using the
parcel number as the key. CCI located fire extinguishers
in public and non-public spaces in airport terminal and
parking garages, and created information layers for each
level pinpointing location of all fire extinguishers,
tagging symbols with fire extinguisher ID number. In
addition, CCI converted existing AutoCAD drawings for Port
Columbus International, Bolton, and Rickenbacker airports
to the new GIS layering scheme and converted all
Record/As-Built drawing sets to PDF format.
