The
purpose of this project was to develop and
implement a multi-purpose geographic
information system (GIS) for the storage,
retrieval, and analysis of geologic data at
the Savannah River Site (SRS). At the
completion of this project, personnel at SRS
now possess a single system capable of
furnishing a variety of data sets available
for specific areas, sites, wells, and
locations within SRS. This GIS data
base should decrease time expenditures by
site and contractor personnel for
researching existing site-specific data.
In addition, the GIS data base can reduce
redundancy of data collection by separate
researchers by making data readily
accessible between departments and
contractors. Data within the GIS data
base include not only new information
obtained from projects occuring coincidently
with the duration of the GIS/Database Entry
project (1994 to 1997) but also a
significant portion of the enormous volume
of data already generated and stored in
separate facilities and departments at SRS.
The platform for this data base is
ArcView and ArcInfo with data storage and
retrieval managed by an Oracle data base.
This research project was funded by
Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC)
through the South Carolina University
Research and Education Foundation (SCUREF
Task Order #157, GIS / Data Entry).
The project work was conducted by personnel
at the Earth Sciences and Resources
Institute at the University of South
Carolina (ESRI-USC) in close cooperation
with personnel of Site Geotechnical Services
group (SGS) within the Westinghouse Savannah
River Company (WSRC). Task
participants at ESRI-USC wish to thank
present and former members of the SGS group
for their assistance and cooperation.
