Digital Data Services, Inc. Awarded Contract with the State of Colorado
August 23rd, 2011
Lakewood, CO- Digital Data Services, Inc. (DDS) announced that it has been awarded a
contract with the State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources-ColoradoGeological Survey (CGS) for data conversion and Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) data delivery. Under the agreement, DDS will convert historic drawings of 376
abandoned coal mines (649 maps), into an intelligent computerized map format. These
historic documents show coal mine boundaries, outcrops, shafts, adits, and undergroundworkings for eight (8) coal fields in Colorado.
"Because of our experience working with the Colorado Geological Survey over the past
10 years, DDS, Inc. is has become an industry leader in geospatial information solutionsas it relates to underground mining and subsidence"- says Scott C. Carter President of
DDS, Inc.
Across the State of Colorado, there are an estimated 23,000 abandoned mine sites. These
mines have various hazard issues ranging from environmental to physical dangers. The
Colorado Geological Survey needs to characterize and understand these issues for safetyand development purposes. Prior to this project, the locations of these mine sites only
existed in a paper map format, filed away in a store room.
With the data converted into a GIS format, miners, geologist, contractors, and other
individuals can access the location of the mines on a computerized map to safely plandevelopment and quickly respond to disaster situations in the case of a collapse. Whatonce would have taken days or weeks to analyze can now be accomplished in a matter of
minutes.
