ISKI Genel Mudurlugu

Asset Management Information System of Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration
Istanbul, Turkey

ISKI provides the water supply for the city of Istanbul and needed accurate parcel data that contained both geospatial location and updated real-estate properties. This project required both CAD and GIS technology on the same platform because thousands of photogrammetric maps, cadastral maps, and raster images were to be used in addition to GIS data.

Using MicroStation and other Bentley solutions, ISKI’s assets have been integrated into the GIS system within XFM technology, which creates real dynamic objects through geospatial administration. As the first XFM object modeling in Turkey, this project also allows other departments to share land registry and parcel information.

Bureau of Zhejiang Surveying and Mapping

Basic Scale Digital Line Graph Production in Zhejiang Province
Hangzhou, China

DLG products, including production and data-quality inspection, needed to be completed for the entire Zhejiang province in four different scales to adhere to China’s basic national scale topographic map regulations. The graphical information gathered also needed to collect enough attribute information to meet future needs of GIS applications.

The data collected and converted with MicroStation GeoGraphics and Bentley Descartes has led to economic benefits by improving cooperation among governments and departments, because data can now be freely shared among the various bureaus, and has improved overall information collaboration.

Marshalls Office of Lower Silesia

The E-Government Initiative of Lower Silesia
Hoofddorp, Netherlands

This e-government project is supported by the European Union and covers an area of 1,200 local government entities with 2 million inhabitants. It is a unique example of how the Lower Silesia governments in central Europe can respond to global developments applied locally. The scope of the project included the construction of a platform for electronic exchange of information between citizens and public administration offices.

The challenge of this large-scale project was to identify the legacy environment (data and software) and business processes and then match these with the new objectives set for data storage and quality, technical architecture, and new business processes. By using Bentley solutions, the goal was achieved by standardizing the data structure and the information workflow at every level of local administration.
