PlanGraphics to Develop Urban Construction Management Information System for Chongqing, China
PlanGraphics, Inc. (OTC: PGRA), has been
awarded a $685,000 contract to develop an urban construction management
information system for the City of Chongqing, China, in a project funded by
a World Bank loan. The project is part of a larger urban environment
project to foster sustainable development by improving Chongqing's urban
infrastructure and sewage/waste disposal.
Located on the upper Yangtze River, Chongqing is China's seventh-largest
city by population. PlanGraphics will work directly for two agencies: the
Chongqing Construction Commission, which is responsible for construction
information management; and the Chongqing Solid Waste Corporation, which is
responsible for facilities and operations relating to disposal of solid
waste.
For the Chongqing Construction Commission, PlanGraphics will lead the
development of an information management system that will incorporate
geographic information systems (GIS) and other information technologies to
improve the quality of data available to decision-makers. It will provide a
network platform and data exchange interface for urban construction
management, data sharing, and institutional management and operations.
For the Chongqing Solid Waste Corporation, PlanGraphics will develop a
solid-waste management sub-system that will use GIS technology to provide
spatial analyses and decision-support functions for sanitation management.
PlanGraphics will be assisted on this project by its Chinese subcontractor,
Sichuan JKC.
PlanGraphics, founded in 1979, is a full life-cycle systems integration and
implementation firm providing a broad range of services in the design and
implementation of information technology in the public and commercial
