What is Geographic Information System (GIS) and what it includes

Kiwa T2 develops, manages, and enhances Geographic Information System (GIS) datasets that provide a reliable digital representation of underground infrastructure assets. Using modern geospatial technologies and field investigation methods, we help organizations improve the accuracy, completeness, and usability of their infrastructure records. GIS is one of Kiwa T2's core geospatial capabilities and supports planning, design, construction, and asset management decisions across a wide range of infrastructure projects. 

Our GIS services support both the creation of new mapping datasets and the improvement of existing GIS platforms. Through complementary services such as Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), utility locating, surveying, CCTV inspections, and geophysical investigations, we collect and validate infrastructure information that can be integrated directly into client GIS environments. This allows organizations to maintain current, reliable, and actionable infrastructure records.

Who is it for?

Kiwa T2’ GIS services are intended for municipalities, engineering consultants, facility managers, campus operators, industrial organizations, public works departments, infrastructure planners, asset managers, and capital project teams. These organizations rely on accurate infrastructure information to support asset management, maintenance planning, infrastructure improvements, regulatory compliance, and future design and construction activities.

Benefits of GIS

  • Improve the accuracy and reliability of underground utility records. 
  • Support informed asset management and maintenance decisions. 
  • Reduce uncertainty during planning, design, and construction projects. 
  • Create a centralized and accessible source of infrastructure information. 
  • Improve long-term capital planning and infrastructure investment decisions. 
  • Integrate field-verified data directly into existing GIS platforms. 
  • Enhance organizational understanding of underground assets and infrastructure risk.

Why Choose Kiwa T2?

Kiwa T2 combines GIS expertise with a broad range of subsurface investigation and geospatial services, allowing clients to improve infrastructure records using field-verified data rather than relying solely on historical documentation. Our integrated approach combines GIS mapping with SUE investigations, surveying, CCTV inspections, and geophysical services to create a more complete understanding of underground infrastructure.

As part of our geospatial service offering, Kiwa T2 delivers accurate spatial data and infrastructure intelligence that helps organizations transform information into actionable insights for planning, design, construction, and asset management

Frequently asked questions

What is a GIS?

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a digital system used to store, manage, analyze, and visualize location-based information and infrastructure assets.

Can Kiwa T2 update our existing GIS system?

Yes. Kiwa T2 can enhance existing GIS datasets by integrating field-collected information and improving the accuracy and completeness of infrastructure records.

What types of infrastructure can be included in a GIS?

GIS databases can include water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, telecommunications, electrical, and other underground utility assets, along with associated infrastructure records.

How does field investigation improve GIS accuracy?

Field investigations help verify utility locations and collect asset attributes such as ownership, size, material, depth, and condition, reducing reliance on outdated or incomplete records.

How does GIS support asset management?

GIS provides a centralized source of infrastructure information that supports maintenance planning, condition tracking, capital forecasting, infrastructure renewal programs, and operational decision-making.
