INTRODUCTION
Applus+ currently uses geographic information systems (GIS) to map and track all field assets related to the petroleum industry. Assets include pipelines, fittings, gauge settings, lease information, tank farms, cogen plants and sensitive receptors. Applus+ utilises industry-standard ESRI software to maintain and edit collected data. This data can be made available via the InSite application, transferred directly to the client or served as a hybrid solution. Field collections are performed by trained and certified GPS Technicians with Trimble GEO units with accuracy down to 1 foot. We have been performing this service since 2007, and we have become a reference for our GIS work.
