The Abu Dhabi City Municipality has compiled and officially launched the submittal of roads layout data standards via the Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

This e-service comes as part of the vision of both the Department of Municipal Affairs and Transport, and the Abu Dhabi City Municipality, aimed at upgrading services, and expanding e-services on regular basis, said the emirates news agency Wam.

The team of the Municipal Infrastructure and Assets Sector in cooperation with the Spatial Data Division has developed this service which enables contractors and consultants to submit layouts data via the GIS, it stated.

The municipality reviewed the data compilation mechanism and data submittal methods as per the new standards, in addition to the quality control tool designed to carry out the process of auditing and issuing reports to avoid errors.

The move is in line with the emirate’s sustainable drive to meet development needs of customers, realise their aspirations, and achieve the highest customers satisfaction rating, it stated.

An induction workshop was held on the subject at the municipality’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi which was attended by more than 80 representatives engaged in road and infrastructure projects, including engineers, draftsmen, contractors and consultants.

The municipality urged the contractors and consultants to follow the roads data submittal process via the GIS during and the delivery and completion phases of road projects.
