As an agency, how can you best manage your road signs?  GEO-Jobe incorporates a turn key solution for agencies to effectively manage their sign “retro-reflectivity” program.  We can customize a geodatabase to properly inventory your signs by including useful management attributes in the database such as:  maintenance records, location, incident reports, installation dates, type, retroreflectivity, environmental conditions, etc.

Don’t have a group but would like to attend the classes?  You can still register to attend our monthly training classes held at our Nashville office!  Register and view our Training Class Schedule at our website at www.geo-jobe.com.

Remember all of the old mnemonic devices we learned growing up?

Never Eat Soggy Worms…North, East, South, West…

Our data collection process involves several steps to insure the most accurate data input for our clients.  Here, Mark is not just showing off his boots.  He’s also measuring the depth of this manhole and has chalked the direction and flow of the connecting conduits.  So, Mark, you know how deep it is, but which way is the office?..And are those steel toe?

We recently arrived back in Nashville after investigating the need for a consolidated GIS at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR).  The assessment plan enabled us to probe different departments, consultants, and resources to learn the operational and communication strategies of the airport.  In this phase of the assessment plan, we interviewed key airport managers to explore GIS possibilities.  We would like to thank BTR for all of their support, and we look forward to showing them all that we can do!

GEO-Jobe is wrapping up the initial contract with Nashville/Davidson Co. to help define the MS4(drains to a river or stream) / CSS(drains to a sewer plant) boundary.  As part of this contract, GEO-Jobe is collecting all storm water features that eventually drain to a body of water.  The project will enable Metro Water Services to more effectively determine if a toxic spill will end up in the river, or be routed to one of its sewer plants.  In addition to data collection, we have rectified and digitized 220 grading permits consisting of over 1,400 plats.  GEO-Jobe will soon be starting the second phase of the contract that consists of collecting all drainage features and manholes within the CSS boundary.

Thanks Mike Curtis for the submission.. If you find yourself in an interesting location wearing the infamous MapThis! T-shirt, send us a picture and we will post it on the GEO-Jobe Blog..

Here are some pictures from the week.  I think I need a new camera phone.  These pictures are not great.
