The Challenge
At first glance, water supply and tree care might not seem to have much in common – but when it comes to maintaining ecological balances in urban environments they are closely related. Knowing this, Rheinhessen-Pfalz Water Supply Company added tree-covered areas to all their properties. These tree populations help to support ecological needs and blend structural facilities with surrounding landscapes. To properly maintain these tree populations, and benefit from the ecological and economic benefits they offer, Rheinhessen-Pfalz Water Supply Company needed a digital solution for greenspace management.
The Solution
In 2019, VertiGIS FM was chosen as a digital tree and greenspace cadastre tool due to its easy-to-use interface, ROI potential, flexible functionalities, and features for fine-grained, role-based authorizations. Today, the benefits of VertiGIS FM at Rheinhessen-Pfalz Water Supply Company are widespread! With VertiGIS FM regular checks can be done to identify potential damage caused by the closely intertwined water distribution and tree root systems.
