DeWitt County, Illinois has selected Mid-West GIS to create a sign inventory for the County and Township roads. GPS technology will be used in the collection of all signs, as well as specific attributes that are collected in the field. This data will be incorporated into a GIS and delivered to the County to be used as the official sign inventory.

City of Pampa, TX GIS Data Conversion

The City of Pampa, Texas GIS project is a complete GIS Data Conversion project. The City started off with no GIS system at all. The City budgeted for aerial photography and GIS data conversion services for 2008.

The first phase of the project, which started in February 2008, was to collect all Water Meters, Valves, Hydrants, Manholes, Sewer Inlets, Street Signs, and Trash Dumpsters with GPS equipment.

The second phase of the project was to convert the water and sewer lines into a digital format using the aerial photography and the GPS data collected in the first phase. Associated attributes are also added as the data is converted.

The final phase if the project is to install the software and data at the client site, and perform training necessary for the client to properly utilize the new GIS system.

Mason County Sign Inventory

The Mason County Sign Inventory project is a cooperative effort between Mid-West GIS, Inc., Mason County Highway Department, the Illinois Department of Transportation, and eight of the nine cities and villages inside of Mason County, IL.

The project includes collecting GPS data and attribute information for all regulatory signs inside of Mason County. This information includes attributes such as location, type, condition, reflectivity, and other attributes. This inventory will then be converted into a report for the Illinois Department of Transportation, who will then evaluate the signs in Mason County.

Once the evaluation is complete, the Illinois Department of Transportation will provide new signs, poles, and hardware for all regulatory signs that are not up to code. The inventory located over 3,500 signs that need to be replaced at a cost of over $270,000. This project will save the county an estimated $225,000.
