GIS Helps Keep Isle of Wight Clean

  28/11/2011
Environmental services company Urbaser is using the latest computerised mapping technology to coordinate street-cleaning services on the Isle of Wight, UK. Isle of Wight Council appointed Urbaser as its street-cleaning contractor and as part of this selection process the Council identified the use of a geographic information system (GIS) as an essential component for delivering the service. Urbaser will be using the GIS supplied by GGP Systems to map information such a bin locations, road sections and pavements to be cleaned, as well as the planning work such as the clearing of fly tipping.
 

 GIS-assisted cleaning
GGP GIS helps organisations to maximise the potential of geographic information. The system allows managers to effectively plan and deliver routine cleaning services and to manage the response to ad-hoc requests from the Council or members of the public.
 
Dave Wallis, contract manager for Urbaser on the Isle of Wight, says that GGP GIS provides them with an overview of the complete island. Detailed records of every asset are kept, allowing it to effectively manage resources and compile accurate service delivery histories. As the Council is also a user of GGP GIS, sharing of information is easy and customised management reports can be produced as and when required.
