GHA: Geospatial Expertise Across Diverse Industries
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are revolutionizing the way organizations access and analyze spatial data. At GHA, we take pride in offering comprehensive GIS services across Illinois that provide valuable insights and efficient solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. Our team understands the importance of a personal approach to civil engineering, ensuring that your specific requirements are met.
Among our clients, GHA collaborates closely with the Village of Orland Park to deliver comprehensive full-time GIS consulting services with a personal touch. Our dedicated GIS Professional, Greg Newton (GISP), is on-site weekly, providing seamless support. As part of our partnership, we play a crucial role in supporting the Orland Park Police Department through the Nena 911 program. By providing them with accurate and up-to-date address data, our GIS map helps direct emergency response and ensures the safety of residents in Cook County. Our publicly accessible GIS map allows residents to conveniently explore a wide range of information, providing a personalized experience tailored to their needs. This enhanced transparency not only empowers the community, but also relieves the strain on village resources. With our expertise in GIS technology and our commitment to providing personalized solutions, GHA is dedicated to unlocking the transformative power of spatial data, allowing our clients to optimize their operations and better plan for the future.


Highlighting the crucial role of GIS in effectively managing and analyzing spatial data, Newton says “GIS empowers communities and institutions to leverage geospatial information for improved planning, asset management and decision-making.”

While maintaining GIS services for Northwestern University, our focus lies specifically on their underground IT assets. By accurately mapping and managing these assets, we enable Northwestern to make informed decisions, improve maintenance processes, and ensure efficient resource utilization. Through our personalized GIS expertise, Northwestern streamlines operations, enhances productivity and maintains a robust IT infrastructure.
GHA has embarked on a comprehensive project with the Village of Wheeling. This ambitious endeavor involves the investigation and management of their storm sewer system. Our team utilizes GPS technology to locate approximately 530,220 linear feet of storm sewer pipes and conducts thorough inspections of more than 10,000 storm structures. Through personalized GIS data integration, we provide a comprehensive stormwater master plan to the Village, offering valuable recommendations for their storm system management. As the project progresses, we continue to perform personalized GIS data integration, enabling real-time insights and updates.
