INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS
& INFORMATION SERVICES

For over ten years the Information Services & Integrated Solutions Group (ISG) at Kennedy/Jenks has found solutions to the challenges of managing information for complex engineering and science projects. The ISG offers technical staff to identify core business solutions for our clients.

The ISG team comprises engineers and environmental scientists with expertise in water resources and systems, hydrogeology, geology, environmental engineering, geography, transportation, electrical engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences.

Unique Solutions Yield Savings Now and in the Future

Key among our qualifications is our ability to listen. It is not our goal to predetermine solutions for our clients. Instead, we take the time to listen to your technical needs, organization concerns, and programmatic goals. We analyze your project’s characteristics to achieve your goal as efficiently as possible. The successful process follows these four steps:

  • Develop a big-picture strategy by analyzing your present and future issues
  • Create individual “integrated solutions” with you, drawing on our engineering and scientific experience and our knowledge of today’s technological innovations
  • Create a cost-effective road map to executing the strategies that work best for you
  • Measure the success of our solutions based on their effectiveness and the savings and efficiency gained

The ISG staff includes professionals with degrees in geology, groundwater, and surface water sciences, with years of experience in watershed analysis, surface water hydraulic evaluations, aquifer storage and recharge (ASR), chemical fate and transport modeling in groundwater, geostatistics, mixing zone assessments, and vadose zone characterization.

With this expertise , state-of-the-art mapping, database expertise, GIS computer tools, and the latest numerical modeling codes the ISG team can:

  • Construct fast, comprehensive, and accurate computer models
  • Quickly characterize current water supply conditions
  • Simulate future aquifer storage capacity, water demand, and water quality scenarios

Effective Litigation Services

For clients in litigation, Kennedy/Jenks’ ISG provides a team of hydrogeologists, computer scientists, and animators who know how to present complex information for discovery and trial.

As part of our environmental due diligence process, we synthesize data and their potential environmental impacts on public health.

Project Web Portals to Foster Community Acceptance

For many municipalities, the ISG has provided customized project web portals that allow the public entity, agency partners, regulatory agencies, and consultants to manage projects and collaborate in real time, 24 hours per day. The portal provides:

  • • Access to the same information by planning, engineering, operations, legal, financial, regulatory permitting, funding, and construction teams
  • Updates as the project is implemented in phases
  • Project team contact information
  • Meeting scheduling tools
  • The ability to collaborate on documents and presentations
  • Document review and repository
  • Posting of all media coverage
