  1. New Cell Tower using GIS FawmSaefong Bryan Pereira Marc Lamothe Trevor Takara Gerald Mickelsen CEE 424 December 5th, 2011

  2. Presentation Contents • Intro/Objectives • Data Collection • Data Analysis • Results/Conclusion • Works Cited

  3. Intro/Objectives • Find a location for a new cell tower in the Seattle area • Increase service in areas with less coverage • Create better access through higher elevations • Find the most suitable location based on land features

  4. Data • Elevations (Seattle area) • Environmental non-build areas (seismic, erosion, coal mines, landslides) • Hydraulic non-build areas (floodways, floodplains) • Buildings and Land Parcels • Current Cell Towers

  5. Elevations (Seattle Area)

  6. Coals Mines and Seismic Coal Mines Seismic Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  7. Erosion and Landslides Erosions Landslides Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  8. Floodways and Floodplains Floodways Floodplains Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  9. Current Cell Towers

  10. Data Analysis • Merge non-build areas to create a single layer • Create 5 miles buffer around existing cell towers • Locate area to build new cell tower and examine existing buildings/parcels

  11. Single non-build layer Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  12. Current Cell Towers With 5 Mile Buffer Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  13. Location for New Cell Tower Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  14. New Cell Tower Projected Coverage Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  15. Final Product Projection: NAD_1983_StatePlane_Washington_North_FIPS_4601_Feet

  16. Results/Conclusion • Found the best location for a new cell tower • Increased cell coverage in the city • Avoided areas that were unable to build on

  17. Works Cited • WAGDA • KCGIS • FCC Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
