FBS Data Supports Intelligent Pipeline Planning Decisions

By Anonymous -

Turning a pipedream into reality


First Base Solutions' parent company, J.D. Barnes, has been providing surveying, mapping, and related land information services to support the development of TransCanada's Energy East Pipeline Project. The much needed infrastructure project, stretching 4600km across the country will safely deliver 1.1 million barrels of oil per day from Alberta to refineries and port terminals in New Brunswick when complete. 

Before the oil starts flowing, every property, every water crossing, every hill and ditch must be accounted for in the route selection.  To that end, First Base Solutions has been working alongside J.D. Barnes in the planning stages of the project, providing up to date, highly detailed aerial imagery, mapping, and land information to support smart decisions about the optimal route for the pipeline to take.  With this valuable information in hand, the pipeline's potential impact on nearby residents and the environment can be mitigated effectively.

Our President and CEO, Joseph Young, talks about the economic benefits of the pipeline project in Ontario and beyond, and the importance of the insights gained from the supporting data for environmentally sensitive lands along the route. Take a look behind the scenes at our office and see the sophisticated mapping technology we work with to get major infrastructure projects like this one off the ground.

The EPSG number is a 4 to 6 digit number that represents the parameters of a coordinate reference system. EPSG numbers are embedded in georeferenced files, and assigned by the user to mapping projects that can display those files.

We'll hook you up! We're still flying. As an essential part of the supply chain for other businesses to continue operations, First Base is practicing physical distancing while remaining open. If your work place is doing the same, rest assured the aerial imagery services you rely on for mapping projects will continue to be provided as usual. Are you working from home? If your new work arrangement includes remote desktops, VPN, or some other work around to support a remote work force, your geospatial needs may have changed as well. Luckily there's more than one way to access our imagery: MapWarehouse , VuMAP , and MapCast.
