EMS has significant experience in assisting our clients with development, maintenance, and expansion of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These systems are simply digital maps tying together many different layers of information. 

GIS technology facilitates the organization and management of data with a geographic component.  It provides pipeline operators with the tools to proficiently manage pipeline integrity, improve efficiencies in pipeline operations, and respond to business development opportunities.  GIS also allows engineers and managers the ability to communicate visually in discussions of possible new routes and company growth areas.

Competitive pressures and regulatory constraints are placing increasing demands on pipeline operators to function in an efficient, safe, and responsible manner. Responding to these demands requires accessibility to information regarding geographically distributed assets and operations, all a part of EMS’ GIS services offering.
