ADMS - Drainage Consultants Package
LiDAR and NAIP access for drainage work, without the hunt for data.
The ADMS Drainage Consultants Package gives drainage consultants and tile contractors access to GK's LiDAR (where available) and NAIP imagery, so you spend your time making maps and save space on your computer.
What it does
Spend your time on the drainage plan.
Sourcing elevation data and imagery for every job eats hours and hard drive space. This package gives you access to both from GK's library.
LiDAR where it exists
Import state and federal flown LiDAR topography data where it is available, and use it to drive the 3D features and the watershed modeling and drainage side of ADMS.
Years of NAIP imagery
GK's library holds NAIP (National Ag Imagery Program) images for most counties in the United States, so you can see how a field has looked across several years.
Room on your computer
Pull the data each job needs from GK's library instead of sourcing and storing it all yourself.
In ADMS
From data to drainage plan.
Real screens from GK's data server and ADMS. Pull the imagery and elevation, then put it to work on the drainage plan.
Aerial imagery by county
Browse the NAIP years available for a county and extract them for your fields.
