ArcGIS Online Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Viewer/Generator

Weston & Sampson uses Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform to shorten the preliminary development of the CIP. By centralizing an organization’s assets into a universally accessible digital twin, we begin laying the foundation for a responsive, web-based CIP application that grows with changing asset qualities. Weston & Sampson’s CIP Viewer/Generator is designed to respond as asset attributes are updated, so organizations at the start of their inventorying process can benefit.

A few yards of concrete were placed at the Lincoln Park Pool this week…640 to be exact. Jersen Construction Group was on site to pour the structural support slab (designed by Ryan Biggs | Clark Davis Engineering & Surveying, D.P.C.) for the new splash pad & water slide. Weston & Sampson is excited to be leading the engineering & design team for this project; with two more pools, a new bathhouse, and more still to come, we’re looking forward to working with the City of Albany as construction continues!
