Web Gis Portal Development

GMDC Overview

Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) is a state-owned enterprise engaged in the exploration, exploitation, and sale of various minerals and ores. With a portfolio encompassing bauxite, fluorspar, lignite, and coal mining operations, GMDC plays a crucial role in the state's industrial landscape. The corporation operates eleven bauxite mines, one fluorspar mine, five lignite mines, and has secured two coal blocks in Odisha.

Project Rationale

Land use and land cover dynamics are essential for understanding environmental changes, especially in mining areas. To effectively monitor and manage its mining operations, GMDC requires a robust system to track land use changes and mine site information. This project aims to develop a WebGIS portal to address these needs. By implementing a change detection system, GMDC can gain valuable insights into the environmental impacts of its mining activities, enabling informed decision-making and sustainable practices.

Project Overview

Lgeom successfully delivered a transformative WebGIS application portal for GMDC, exceeding expectations in terms of functionality, usability, and impact. The portal has revolutionized GMDC's geospatial data management and analysis capabilities, driving significant operational improvements and informed decision-making.

Project Deliverables

The project encompassed the development, implementation, and training of a robust WebGIS portal, including:

• Custom-built WebGIS platform: Tailored to GMDC's specific requirements and workflows.
• Data integration: Seamless integration of diverse geospatial data sources, including high-resolution satellite imagery, drone data, and internal databases.
• Advanced analytics: Implementation of sophisticated change detection algorithms, spatial analysis tools, and performance metrics.
• User-centric design: Development of an intuitive and user-friendly interface with role-based access controls.
• Comprehensive reporting: Generation of customizable reports and dashboards for various stakeholders, including management, field staff, and regulatory agencies.
• Training and support: Extensive training sessions and ongoing support to ensure optimal utilization of the portal.

Project Outcomes and Impact

The WebGIS portal has delivered tangible benefits to GMDC, including:

• Enhanced decision-making: Improved access to actionable geospatial insights.
• Operational efficiency: Streamlined workflows and reduced manual data processing time.
• Risk mitigation: Early detection of potential issues through change detection analysis.
• Compliance adherence: Support for regulatory compliance through accurate and up-to-date geospatial data.
• Cost savings: Optimized resource allocation and reduced operational expenses.
• Stakeholder engagement: Improved collaboration and communication among internal and external stakeholders.

Key Performance Indicators

To measure the project's success, key performance indicators (KPIs) were established and consistently met. These KPIs included system uptime, user satisfaction, data accuracy, and change detection accuracy, demonstrating the project's overall success.

Conclusion

The WebGIS application portal has successfully transformed GMDC's geospatial data management and analysis capabilities. By providing timely and accurate information, the portal has empowered decision-makers, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced overall performance. This project serves as a foundation for future expansion and the integration of additional geospatial technologies to further optimize GMDC's operations.
