Editor's Notes
- #2 TACP are an environmental consultancy working across all stages of the project lifecycle – Esri has transformed the way we work I’m going to share some examples of these projects, including one in particular that my colleague Juan Ramon Mena is here to talk about with me
- #3 Archaeology Arboriculture Noise and vibration
- #4 We work with a range of clients including the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales and all the Welsh local authorities – it’s good to see some familiar faces here today!
- #5 We work throughout Wales, the west midlands – Worcestershire, Shropshire and Staffordshire – and the southwest – Somerset, Devon and Cornwall Not constrained by geography – we’re working on the Island of Jersey, Isle of Man and are currently exploring work across Africa.
- #6 We bring value by working across the whole lifecycle of a project, helping clients develop projects through their strategy and policy, supporting them develop options for these, and assessing these at the planning application phase – all of this is underpinned by environmental coordination and stakeholder engagement. We then help clients develop detailed design, support them through implementation and help monitor and report the success of mitigation during the aftercare and evaluation stages.
- #7 Geospatial information plays a critical role in all the work that TACP does. – this presents us with a challenge – how do we bring all of this data together, from multiple field workers, continually developing its scope and detail as projects progress. How do we keep stakeholders – including clients, regulators and partners – up-do-date with progress and outputs. We’ve explored and used a range of solutions but have found the Esri platform to provide the most comprehensive solution to this challenge.
- #8 With the Esri platform, ArcGIS Online sits in the middle – sort of a collaboration hub for us.
- #9 We work closely with ArcGIS Online via ArcGIS Pro, analysing data, publishing it to ArcGIS Online and creating maps.
- #10 We bring data into ArcGIS Online via Esri’s range of mobile applications – Quick Capture, Survey123 and Field Maps.
- #11 And share data back out via Story Maps, Operation Dashboards and web apps created using Experience Builder. These icons feature on the next slides showcasing some project examples.
- #12 Challenge: Identify areas suitable for land use change to support solar and wind energy generation, and woodland creation.
- #13 Solution: AGP to undertake weighted multi criteria analysis with AGOL and web experience builder to present results to stakeholders. Client wanted to understand where they could transform land use to a more sustainable use.
- #14 Benefit: Modelled and repeatable solution that identifies areas suitable for further investigation and targeted investment – effective engagement with a range of stakeholders.
- #15 Challenge: To identify locations on the Island of Jersey experiencing high volumes of cycle use. Introduce Strava – I know one or two of you do…
- #16 Solution: Modelled and repeatable solution using over 50 million records of cycling from globally recognised Strava. 50 million records of cycling
- #17 Solution: Presentation of results via AGOL and web experience builder to client. Benefit: Quicker targeting of investment In the Island’s active travel infrastructure to reduce road congestion and improve health and wellbeing.
- #18 Further Projects Examples Cross Town Cycle Network Jersey Eastern Cycle Routes Esplanade, Jersey St Helier Walking & Cycling Strategy Railway Walk Crossing Bel Royal Cycle Track Speed Limit Consultation Cycle shelter options Royal Square Cycling Proposals
- #19 Challenge: To collate results of environmental surveys delivered by a large team to support an EIA. Now lets look at a highways project in a sensitive environment – water, ecology, agriculture First one we have had integrated GIS from the beginning – relationship with CAD / ProjectWise – Arup – developing landscape design in GIS
- #20 Solution: AGP to setup maps for sharing via AGOL and consumption in Field Maps – supported by a range of survey forms setup using Survey123 and Quick Capture – results shared and presented via AGOL and web experience builder to stakeholders. Benefit: more efficient and accurate approach to data collection which promotes data integrity and security.
- #21 Challenge: To identify places of significance throughout MTCBC and RCTCBC, research their meaning and engage with stakeholders to share stories and cultural history. Solution: AGP to review historic and contemporary maps with results shared via AGOL and web experience builder to client and project team – Survey123 to engage with public to identify places of significance – Story Maps to share results (including videos, maps, narrative and podcasts) with the public. Benefit: more efficient and accurate approach to data collection which promotes data integrity and security. Mention MTCBC / EU / WG funding
- #22 Challenge: To identify places of significance throughout MTCBC and RCTCBC, research their meaning and engage with stakeholders to share stories and cultural history. Solution: AGP to review historic and contemporary maps with results shared via AGOL and web experience builder to client and project team – Survey123 to engage with public to identify places of significance – Story Maps to share results (including videos, maps, narrative and podcasts) with the public. Benefit: more efficient and accurate approach to data collection which promotes data integrity and security.
- #23 Sums up this section – range of projects – land use, cycling need, highways EIA, cultural - lots of variation and different challenges – we need the Esri technology to help us manage and deliver this We don’t just do this on our own – we also collaborate with other major corporations – my colleague Juan is here from FCC to tell you about how we’re delivering one of the largest projects in Wales
- #24 What is that project? It’s the A465 Section 5 and 6 – many of you may be familiar with this – or have been caught in the traffic…
- #26 Juan (introduction to FCC Construccion – Principal Contractor)
- #27 Juan (explanation of inputs to GIS portal – award winning!)
- #28 Juan (explanation of inputs to GIS portal – award winning!) Explain TACP’s GIS – vegetation clearance, dormouse, bat, great crested newt records, environmental observations and permits to work.
- #29 Constructing Excellence in Wales – Digital Collaboration
- #30 Juan (detailed example of the GIS portal)
- #31 Juan (introduction to partnered collaboration – what this has meant for FCC) / Tim (what has partnered collaboration meant to TACP) It was very important for us to work with TACP in the project because they were already using ArcGIS. That allowed us to start using Esri technology for the GIS portal and finally, have this partnered collaboration to share the information.
- #32 TACP benefited too from this collaboration as the whole project was working with the environmental data we had collected, elevating its importance and capitalising on the programme and cost savings this knowledge can bring. Here we have an example of the vegetation clearance webmap compiled to help FCC and its subcontractors be sympathetic of the protected species and habitats during the early phases of the project.
- #33 Tim (explanation of make.com and EPTWs)
- #34 Tim (outputs of EPTWs) Over 1000 EPTWs
- #35 Leave a legacy 120,000 trees – beginning now – to mitigate the impacts of the project and four years of construction
- #36 So, I hope you can see that by collaborating we have been able to overcome the many challenges of delivering a major infrastructure project
- #37 We don’t just use the Esri platform on current projects – we also use it to help monitor the success of mitigation. Here’ you will see how we used to collect field information – using paper forms – terrible handwriting, little pictures, and survey forms that would get lost….
- #38 Survey123 - #QC -Webmaps
- #39 Same – but on landscape Immediacy in data
- #40 Here are three examples of Welsh Government / EU funded projects which TACP have used the Survr123 app to facilitate stakeholder engagement on
- #41 So I hope you can see how TACP use the Esri platform across all stages of the projects we’re involved in delivering - it helps us to improve efficiency, reduce costs for us and our clients and most importantly helps us to effectively deliver sustainable projects. Adaptability / flexibility
