Mr. Newby was Project Leader for the development and implementation of the GIS system at Alliance Pipeline. Mr. Newby was responsible for the evaluation and selection of the GIS platform at Alliance; as well, he coordinated the collection and integration of data from the four engineering firms working on this project. Mr. Newby spearheaded the development of SmartMap; intended to enable senior management and staff, in the remote field offices, to access the multitude of disparate datasets that were being created and collected across the 3200 km of pipeline. He also developed tools to assist in the quality analysis and truthing of the datasets that were being submitted and loaded into the various systems.
