AE2S HIRES 10 SUMMER INTERNS FOR 2013

Sanford Health is hosting a free weight-loss information session from 4−5:30 p.m. (MST) Wednesday, July 17 at the Ra-mada Grand Dakota Lodge, 532 15th St. W., Dickinson. The event will be held in the Legends Ballroom.

A weight-loss surgeon from the Bismarck region of Sanford Health will review the basic concepts of obesity, provide an overview of weight-loss surgery options and discuss patient requirements needed to be eligible for surgery.

Sanford Health in Bismarck is a nationally accredited Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Center (MBSAQIP) and has earned Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Blue Distinction Centers designation for Bariatric Surgery. Please call Sanford Health at (800) 932-8758, ext. 5300 to register or visit bismarck.sanfordhealth.org/infosession for more information.

The North Dakota High School Activities Association requires annual sports physicals for all athletes participating in school-sanctioned sports. Athletes must have their physicals completed before the first day of practice for their sports.

Sanford Health Dickinson Clinic, 938 Second Ave. W., offers convenient same-day appointments for sports physicals.

CASS JOINS HEI

AE2S (Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc.) has received an international award that recognizes outstanding work with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. The firm accepted the Special Achievement in GIS award at the 2013 Environmental Sciences Research Institute (ESRI) International User Conference in San Diego, CA on July 10, 2013.

Recipients of the Special Achievement in GIS award are selected by ESRI from thousands of organizations worldwide. GIS combines computer hardware, software, data, and the talents of professionals to collect, manage, and analyze geo-graphic information.

“Our work on the North Dakota Western Area Water Supply Project played a significant role in earning this award, and we look forward to continuing to provide innovative GIS solutions for our clients,” said Roger E. Grimsley, PLS, AE2S Geomatics Manager. “We work with a number of municipalities and regional water systems in the heart of oil country in western North Dakota, and we leverage GIS to help the region quickly respond to rapid growth while ensuring that future needs are also considered.”

The cutting-edge technology of GIS has helped meet the visual and informational needs of land owners, engineers, finan-cial analysts, planners, surveyors, and other project team members in western North Dakota as they work on high de-mand and fast-paced projects. The web-based and mobile capabilities of GIS have provided the ability to paint a live, interactive picture.

“Rapid growth causes static data to become obsolete quickly,” said Lucas Rengstorf, AE2S’ GIS Coordinator. “The use of ArcGIS Online and ArcServer provides a real-time solution to distribute changes immediately, enabling all project team members to access the same maps and data whether they are in the office or in the field.”

GIS provides clients with a living tool that enables them to continually adapt and plan for changing conditions, as well as easily access and edit information about their infrastructure – saving them time and money.

AE2S RECEIVES SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN GIS AWARD
