Monitoring of the Rhine river bottom
Inspection and clearing of the river bottom is one of the major subjects which the hydraulics section of the Basle underground workings authority focuses on. The geometry of the fairway and the safety of shipping need be constantly controlled and secured. For one part, the desktop solution GeoMedia is in use with VESTRA GIS, i.e. the module for road construction and DTM, and likewise, on the other hand, the mapserver solution GeoMedia WebMap founded on the basic model developed by Intergraph Schweiz. Here, very short and effective ways of communication can be achieved ranging from the technical aspects such as model intersection or figuring profiles up to providing dates intranet wide. Moreover, the architecture of the system allows for inclusion of external tools concerning very special applications like models of water-level, online plottool for profiles etc.

Working with VESTRA:
"As for the result, there is a process oriented integral solution that was very well accepted by the executives in the Kanton of Basle City."
