All Rights Reserved Research Paper APPLICATIONS OF GIS IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT MANAGEMENT Sandip N Palve1* *Corresponding author:Sandip N Palve, [email protected] Developing countries face unique challenges with the design, construction and operations of new infrastructure. Nations with mature infrastructure have followed traditional technology models for planning, design, construction and operation of facilities. With GIS technology, the development of new infrastructure will follow new technology models eliminating data redundancy, miscommunication, and costly conversion when moving through the planning, design, construction, and operation of infrastructure data. Specific site data requirements for the design and construction of infrastructure are developed for quality engineering design and to minimize and accurately predict construction costs. GIS provides the central data system for the process of developing and constructing infrastructure gives the engineers a common means to communicate geospatial data, maintain current data, and allow iterative design/data collection procedures without exchanging data files of differing format, version, and content. Due to superior spatial data handling capabilities, Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is increasingly being considered for implementation in many infrastructure projects. Keywords: GIS, Planning, Applications, Geospatial data, Infrastructure projects INTRODUCTION that form the foundation for future GIS analyses.

  • Going to Pune 2019
    Going to Pune - a practical guide GOING TO PUNE - A PRACTICAL GUIDE Kirsten Agar Ward Before Going • Apply! The form is available from the IY(UK) website. Don’t bother applying unless you meet the criteria (for regular classes for one month it’s a minimum 8 years Iyengar Yoga practice with a certificated Iyengar teacher and a recommendation from them). There used to be a waiting list but I’m told these days you usually get your first choice even if it’s the same year as your year of application. For special events like Yoganusasanam the minimum practice is usually less and the period shorter, making this more accessible for many. You need to apply via the IY(UK), do not apply directly to RIMYI. The (non-refundable) deposit is paid online when you apply. Do not go until your place is confirmed. • Passport. Make sure you have at least 6 months on your passport at the time of travelling. • Visa. Essential. Apply for a visa before going. You can get an electronic visa - e-visa (30 day, 1 year or 5 year) via the Indian High Commission website. You can still get a regular/paper visa from an Indian mission post. If the latter it can save a lot of time and hassle to pay an agency to do this - they will check you’ve filled the form in correctly and go to the High Commission instead of you having to go in person. I have found the Trailfinders visa service good and also visagenie.co.uk The visa form can be filled in online, then printed, signed and send with a 2” square photo (dimensions are strict ordinary passport photo will not do).
