The professional staff at ACT Engineers is highly experienced in applying our expertise in GIS to assist our clients in collecting and compiling geographic data for their facilities. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) recently pre-qualified ACT Engineers to do GIS work for the Department. ACT Engineers undertook an extensive GIS project for the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) in which we developed a database and created maps using GIS data in order to align NJSIAA member schools by region and size of enrollment. We have also performed GIS work for Fort Dix to assist in the location of underground storage tanks and update their base mapping.
