A Quick Word
Welcome to the Spring, 2009
issue of our newsletter.
It's been a little
while since we've sent out a newsletter, but as interest in our software and
services continues to grow, we thought it worthwhile to return to this popular
feature. We'll try to keep it interesting and useful. And remember, it's for
you, and not for us, so if there's something you would like to see, please let
us know at info@geotech.com.
Enviro Software News - Update on Enviro Features
As
you may know, Geotech has a very active development program for our Enviro Data
and Enviro Spase software. The development efforts focus on improving existing
features and adding new ones. These improvements and enhancements are largely
based on client feedback. In the Enviro Data database software, we have had an
increase recently in clients using our various Department of Defense features,
including export of data in the ERPIMS and ERIS formats for the Air Force and
Army, respectively. Recently we added a library feature that lets you move
your lookup tables (also known as valid value lists) to a separate database
file, called a library, where they can be shared between projects. This makes
it easier to manage multiple projects that share the same lists. It is also
useful for projects, for example in the same state, that share regulatory
limits.
|
Enviro Spase, our GIS
tool, has recently been updated with several new features. One of the most
interesting is what we call Radar Plots. In the past as we have been
discussing our Stiff Diagram feature, clients have said they would like to
put their constituents of concern around the outside of the diagram, rather
than the major ions. Radar Plots address this. They can be used for multiple
parameters, dates, or depths at each location. They are circular diagrams
that look like a wind rose or gun sight. The concentrations for each
parameter are shown by how far out the points stick. You can also display the
regulatory limit for each parameter. This type of display makes it easy to
look at the spatial distribution of the constituents across the site. For
example, one client says they can use them to track the degradation of
petroleum hydrocarbons across their facility. |
