You are tasked with balancing performance with environmental stewardship, ensuring that the rail network can support increasing mobility while respecting fragile ecosystems. GIS integrated with leading building information modeling (BIM) for infrastructure solutions helps you deliver optimal designs and manage data through the full project life cycle. Whether evaluating new projects against environmental constraints, preserving wildlife, or managing vegetation, GIS provides the foundation to ensure that you responsibly monitor and manage resources.
