How BAA shares infrastructural information using mapping
Ordnance Survey location data is widely used across industries and markets in both the public and private sectors. Airports have to manage assets above ground and underground alongside estate management, maintenance and inventory management. Geographic information is helping UK airport engineering staff achieve strong results, airports are now able to predict how future increases in traffic, development and other external factors will weigh on airport resources. GIS software works by pulling together information from third-party providers and the airport itself, and displaying this in map or other format.
Learn how HeathrowMap Live has enabled BAA to share all of the ‘geometry’ information that it has been collecting for years – building footprints, underground services, taxi-ways – together with data from other systems such as its property database. This enables its managers to take more effective commercial decisions; it also avoids the need to repeat detailed surveys to establish what is beneath ground that needs to be dug up.
