OTIE’s Environmental Enterprise Solutions (EES)™

• Secure Access to Entire Project Database
• Non-Expert Database and GIS Tools
• Interactive Data Visualization Products
• User Generated Graphs, Maps
• Customizable for Internal/External Users

OTIE designed Environmental Enterprise Solutions™ (EES™) to facilitate project management, and stakeholder team process and decision-making. OTIE delivers EES™ through customized project-specific, secure internet websites. Data are received from field, laboratory, and other sources, vetted, and uploaded into OTIE’s Sequel Server Environmental Data Management System (EDMS). From the EDMS, through a secure synchronization process, the project-specific database is regularly posted to the EES™ website. EES™ allows invited participants to access, and more importantly, use the up-to-date project data through sophisticated but user-friendly tools including geographic information systems (GIS), Data Discovery Interface (DDI), flexible graphing functions, and other data visualization tools. EES™ can be customized to meet your project needs - it can be designed to have an unrestricted public access portal and/or password protected access limited to key stakeholders. EES™ can be structured to include interactive remedial systems management and continuous environmental media monitoring data displays and reporting.

EES™ benefits:

• Improves project transparency
• Complex data available via simple, effective websites
• Data visualized through charts, interactive maps, model outputs
• Ensures access to all project data
• Data mining and analysis tools for the "non-expert" user
• Preserves data quality and security
• Data provided from single vetted project database
• Password protected websites
• Increases project participant trust
• Enables stakeholders to see and use data dynamically in real-time
• Can include a Public Access portal
• Supports collaborative team function
• Provides calendars, announcements, and file sharing
• Discussion forums and support for internet meetings

OTIE's EES™ project website for the Pemaco Superfund project permitted the USEPA and other stakeholders to efficiently manage the Pemaco electrical resistive heating (ERH) remedial action through 24/7 access to temperature, flow, and electrical usage data. Real-time oil temperature and other data, collected via telemetry, were modeled by OTIE using GMS software. The resultant 15 model "slices" through the 90-foot heating interval were posted weekly to the website. EES™ tools allowed the team to easily search the 1500 model outputs over depth and time, supporting timely team decision-making to shut down costly heating when the system met temperature requirements. Other EES tools allowed the team easy access to the wealth of groundwater, chemical, system data and data visualization products (maps, charts, and graphs) generated during the previous 18 months of active remediation.

OTIE has evolved EES™ to meet customer demands for managing large multi-site facilities with massive and complex historical data sets. OTIE's Data Discovery Interface (DDI) allows the Navy, Marine Corps and OTIE technical team to access over 500,000 records from 1500 sample locations across two base facilities at the MCLB Barstow, California. Using interactive GIS mapping and DDI, our DoD customers can easily find and check the data associated with any of the 500 monitoring wells in place at the MCLB Barstow. Plume contours, areas of concern, boundaries, and other environmental management features are easily accessed and displayed using the EES embedded web-based GIS.
