G.A.M.E.S.
Our project involved collaborating with the City of New Braunfels (CoNB) GIS Department in developing an asset GIS schema and geodatabases for the City’s Parks and Recreations Department. This geodatabase would be integrated in with the City’s current Accela’s asset management system, Accela Automation. The schema will be able to “serve as the structure for inventorying this asset information”(City of New Braunfels).

Our group, Basin Conservation (BaCon), worked with the City of San Marcos to encourage the protection of the endangered species by predicting the effect of impervious cover on the water quality of the San Marcos River. Taking into account the newly created comprehensive plan by the City of San Marcos, we developed a scenario concerning the effect impervious cover has on the water quality using a combination of GIS technology and another program known as BASINS. Through the use of these tools, our group collaborated with the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment as the liaison for the City of San Marcos to provide information and knowledge to enable the intelligent design for the city’s future growth.

Geo-Air Consulting
Geo-Air Consulting provided the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), with a planning study focused on extending the length of current operational runway 13-31 and 17-35 at the San Marcos Airport. The study implemented pertinent Federal Aviation Administration regulation regarding the design and safety of runways. Current land use compatibility was examined based on the Texas Airport Zoning Act. The Geographic Information System provides TXDOT with suggested outcomes for the suitability of land use compatibility, an airport hazard zoning map, and a solution length for the extension of runway 13-31 and 17-35 at the San Marcos Airport.
