Our world is in 3D, and you need to be able to tell your 3D story to the world. You can combine various 2D and 3D datasets to tell the complete story, as well as view and share existing 3D scenes. Explore 3D features, such as terrain and elevation, from all angles, and add pop-up windows and infographics to display important information.

Working in 3D can incorporate real-world elements with your content, highlighting influences such as the undulations of the terrain and the 3D extent of features such as trees, buildings, and subsurface geology. Additionally, the display of quantitative GIS content, such as population, temperature, or relative occurrences of an event, can often be communicated more effectively in a 3D view.

This matches the way we see the world in our day-to-day lives, and the result is a realistic representation of 3D content.

Web map applications contain a basemap; data layers; an extent; a legend; and navigation tools such as zoom, pan, place finders, and bookmarks. 1 through links, embedded in websites, and used to create browser-based and device-based applications. Many web maps also contain interactive elements such as a basemap gallery that lets you switch between maps like imagery and streets, plus measure tools, pop-up windows that display attributes about a specific feature, and buttons for playing data over time. They are constructed using data layers from services and files to communicate a specific message or provide specific map-based capabilities.

An ArcGIS web map is an interactive display geographic information that you can use to tell stories and answer questions. Maps can be opened in standard web browsers, mobile devices, and desktop map viewers. They can be shared through links, embedded in websites, and used to create browser-based and device-based apps. Web maps also contain interactive elements such as a basemap gallery that allows you to switch between maps like imagery and streets, plus measure tools, pop-ups that display attributes about a specific feature, and buttons for playing data over time.

Data captured with Collector feeds directly into ArcGIS, so everyone, in the field and the office, works from the same accurate data.  Your as-built infrastructure can be accurately documented to reflect reality as compared to what was planned.

Free your workforce of the manual processes of collecting field data on paper forms that must be returned to the office, then translated into other systems. GIS data collection streamlines these workflows, using smart devices to capture data in the field and seamlessly return it to the office.

Add new assets and update existing GIS data in any environment, remote to urban, on your authoritative maps.  In connected environments, your data will feed directly into ArcGIS. In disconnected environments, it will reside on your device then sync as soon as connectivity is available.

Authoritative maps ensure field-captured location data, updates, and additions are accurate.  When required, achieve up-to-centimeter accuracy using a professional-grade or high-accuracy GPS receiver.

Make Decisions at a Glance by using charts, gauges, maps, and other visual elements to reflect the status and performance of people, services, assets, and events in real time. From a dynamic dashboard, view the activities and key performance indicators most vital to meeting objectives.

A dashboard is a view of geographic information that helps you monitor events or activities. Dashboards are designed to display multiple visualizations that work together on a single screen. They offer a comprehensive and engaging view of your data to provide key insight for at-a-glance decision making.

Most elements are data driven. That is, they represent the information you want to present to the intended audience. As such, dashboards offer robust filtering capabilities, which enables a refined set of data to be presented to the intended audience. These filters can be applied at design time by the dashboard author or at run time by users.

Dashboards can be designed for use in both unattended and attended scenarios. Unattended dashboards are often displayed on a large screen in environments such as operations centers and provide a more passive user experience. In contrast, attended dashboards are generally viewed on desktop monitors or tablet devices and tend to offer a more interactive user experience.

SRB coordinates directly with the client to conduct surveys on proposed drilling sites (well pads). We utilized state of the art technologies to help ensure our products are accurate and precise and efficiently produced. This includes utilizing GIS databases to combine data from various sources, such as existing land corner information, owner operator data, USGS data, and previous surveying projects.

By implementing speed and accuracy as our most important priority to our customer we rely on our experienced staff of surveyors, technicians, GIS specialist and professionals to ensure that the product we deliver will set SRB as one of the premier service providers for the Oil & Gas Industry.

As part of the process of setting the SRB team apart from others in this industry, we have started research and development of hosting Well Staking information in a GIS Operations Dashboard. This offers a “heads-up” display to track current Well Stakings and allow for the planning of future Well Stakings from the rig schedule.

Prior to design, we provide a topographical survey of the proposed site which includes current site conditions. Advance planning to determine cut/fill location and tank battery placement will reduce overall cost to the life of the pad and will allow the operator to properly design a multi-well development. A Pad Layout Survey will also allow advance planning to maintain a continuous operation of existing wells with reduced loss of revenue from offset wells being in SI (Shut In).

Our UAV department is quickly adapting this into our current workflow as data acquisition with a drone is provides a much safer alternative

Our staff has extensive experience in determining preliminary routing for alignment corridors. To optimize our route selection process, we will utilize available remote sensing data as well as constructability and environmental impacts. We work with the client to determine the best fit corridor that has the optimum construction cost. Researching existing information allows for a more accurate and flexible design that can be imported into a GIS or AutoCAD design system

SRB’s standard practice consists of staking the construction corridor, pipeline centerline and appurtenances. Using survey grade data directly from the digital construction drawing plans, allow for an accurate representation of the proposed design. Checks are incorporated for additional quality control during construction. The collection of as-built data is an important part of the construction process which is imported into the same AutoCAD or GIS design systems for an accurate as-built plan.

SRB conducts pipeline as-built surveys using state of the art software that includes powerful tools to collect attribute data, recording the relationship between welds and pipes (joints). Once the pipeline is surveyed, we link the joint attributes to the measured welds. All data is recorded electronically and undergoes quality control measures in every step of the process.

SRB uses 3D scanning technology to provide a virtual “on-site” view of complex situations. High Definition Laser Scanning allows the end user the ability to work “in the data” and be on site virtually with an accurately scanned colorized 3D point cloud.  This approach of gathering Terrestrial LiDAR data provides our clients with precise data in a short amount of time while including a high-level safety factor.

Typical applications for Laser Scanned Data in Oil and Gas sector as provided by SRB:

• Site Topography
• Volumetric Calculations for Containment
• As-Built Data
• Detailed Interior and Exterior Scans
• Power Distribution Plants

After processing, the data from the point cloud can be utilized to produce dimensionally correct 3D models and/or 2D dimensional plans, with outputs to MicroStation, AutoCAD, Revit and a host of other platforms.

As with our surveying services, the scanning effort is overseen by Professional Land Surveyors, who bring experience and knowledge of traditional surveying methods to this cutting-edge technology.

SRB was an early adopter of Unmanded Aerial Vehicals (UAV) technology in our construction and engineering processes. SRB has FAA certified Small Unmaned Aerial System (sUAS) drone pilots on staff that stay current with the latest technology and trends. SRB has embraced this new technology as a low-cost, effective approach to inspect pipeline routes. The drone platform allows information to be gathered in areas where it would be difficult or pose a safety hazard to access on foot and allows for first hand, near real-time data collection. Pipeline inspection is just one of many aspects of our drone operations. We currently utilize drones for project planning, pre-bid planning, construction oversite and 3D modeling. As a firm with engineering and surveying at its core, our drone operations are completely vetted for accuracy and solely focused on jobsite data acquisition.
