Port of Houston Authority

The Port of Houston Authority required recommendations for updating their current AutoCAD/GIS data integration standards. Tessellations reviewed existing standards and made recommended updates that reflected the change in technology as well as the client’s need to have a more robust solution when converting delivered CAD data to GIS. Tessellations was also tasked with developing a data validation tool for storm water data that would allow for error reporting on CAD data deliveries, providing the client with the necessary information to make decisions on whether the data meets their required standards or if further review is necessary by their consultants.
