PART IIA DATA MANAGEMENT AND SITE PRIORITISATION SOFTWARE

The GeoEnviron Contaminated Land Module is a site prioritisation and data management for tool for local authority environmental officers in the process of implementing Part IIA strategies.

Part IIA implementation will for most authorities, result in the generation of large amounts of data. This information will be used for a variety of purposes including prioritising sites, informing colleagues (i.e. planners, valuers, housing officers), reporting to the Environment Agency and communicating risk to the professional and general public. The data resource will also form the basis of an historical land use archive which will be used for many years to come. It is therefore important that a robust and flexible Information Management System (IMS) is employed for managing this data.

Facilities in the GeoEnviron System

The major benefits you will realise from implementing the GeoEnviron Contaminated Land Module are described below.

• The system uses high performance SQL databases for reliable and efficient data and document management.

• GeoEnviron is a client/server system that can be accessed by multiple users at the same time with no loss in performance.

• GeoEnviron comes with a user friendly built-in GIS as well as seamless integrations to external GIS programs including Mapinfo or ArcGIS, Cadcorp, GeoMedia and Microstation.

• GeoEnviron comes with a scientifically robust site prioritisation system designed by contaminated land specialists. The system and methodology used ensure that sites are prioritised transparently and consistently.

• GeoEnviron comes with a powerful decision support system called InfoBase. InfoBase contains detailed information on hazardous contaminants, remediation technologies and DOE industry profiles.

• GeoEnviron has advanced security features allowing for the creation of user accounts with passwords and tagging of individual tables to indicate levels of confidentiality meaning that users can be given appropriate access privileges to individual tables.

• It has extensive facilities for recording meta-data, thereby easing the task of data auditing.

• GeoEnviron is web enabled allowing for effective data sharing via an intranet/internet. GeoEnviron Web solutions are ideal if you are considering implementing an internal search tool for planners or an on-line public register. They not only remove the worries associated with arrangements for public access but in addition, give you more control over the information accessed; save you time; and help you contribute to meeting your authority's e-government targets!
