TRANSCRIPT
Mr. Santovasi has over 26 years of experience in Geospatial Solutions
specializing in Geographic Information Systems,
Mobile Mapping, Data Collection, Web Mapping,
High Accuracy GPS locational services, and 3D
Drone Mapping. He currently manages the
Geospatial Services operations for Burns and
McDonnell. Successful program implementations
have included full integration of several enterprise
level GIS solutions, Web Based Mapping
interfaces and Mobile Mapping Data Collection Solutions for both
connected and disconnected environments. He has successfully
implemented multiple platform solutions for integration and administration
of Geospatial and non-geospatial data solutions including expertise in the
full suite of ESRI ArcGIS products, Burns & McDonnell’s Cesuim based
OneTouchPM and OneTouchMobile products and Google Earth based
interfaces on several multi-billion dollar infrastructure development
projects. These include ArcGIS desktop, ArcGIS Server, Arc SDE, Web
App Developer, ArcGIS Pro, ArcEarth, ArcGIS Collector, ArcCatalog,
Operations Dashboard, ArcGIS for Portal, and ArcGIS Online. He has
developed the UAV program for Drone Mapping and Inspections for Burns & McDonnell’s. Incorporating rapid deployment
of superlight, low altitude drones into the geospatial environment. This includes both fixed wing and multirotor drones, with
the ability to collecting Aerial Photography, high-resolution video, Infrared Thermal Imaging, 4 Band MultiSpectral imagery,
and near infrared imagery. These flights result in delivering to our clients 3D point clouds, super high resolution orthomosaic
imagery, Site contours, 3D surface models, digital elevation models, 3D flight logs and aerial photography. He has been
recognized as being an industry leader in the field of GIS, GPS, and UAV Technology.
Mr. Santovasi has received the 2011 ESRI Special Achievement in GIS Award in the Survey Implementation area for
a comprehensive Infrastructure Management Data Collection Program. This project involved implementing and
integrating a high accuracy RTK-GPS data collection phase that brought together Geodatabase technology with CAD data
collection, seamlessly incorporating ESRI’s Mapping Standard for CAD (MSC). The utility mapping systems, which
included sanitary sewer, storm water, water, and traffic systems, were scanned and stored in a digital library. As field data
was collected and incorporated into the GIS system the scanned maps were georeferenced into a raster dataset and the line
and point work are digitized input and attributed. The result is the ability to tie the geographic and data and engineering
attributes to maintenance and operations datasets creating a highly accurate infrastructure management system.

Geospatial Services Manager This project portfolio includes over 20 active projects that have over 125 miles of 240-kV
transmission lines and 63 miles of 138-kV transmission lines. The projects address power demands from industry
development and emerging areas of population growth, and integrate new generation from wind resource areas into the
provincial grid. The contract includes a five-year option for additional project support following completion of the initial
five-year contract in 2017.
Mr. Santovasi served as the Geospatial Services Manager. He was responsible for implementing mobile mapping technology
solutions, incorporating connected/disconnected field mapping applications and field data collection. Mr. Santovasi was also
responsible for managing spatial data, GIS, mapping content, and data interoperability. He performed GIS support services
for various phases of the projects including analysis, real estate/customer relations management, environmental, permitting,
compliance, constructability, design, and presentation mapping. Mr. Santovasi also served as the OneTouchPM™ project
administrator and was responsible for developing content, specifications for display stylings, and client access rollout.
Senior GIS Specialist This transmission project spans across two states (PA and NJ) with two separate owners. The PSE&G
New Jersey portion is a 500-kV transmission project consisting of 46 miles of new 500kV transmission lines and rebuilding
the existing 230-kV transmission line on an existing Right-of-Way that includes two new 500-kV GIS switching stations in
Hopatcong and Roseland, NJ. Burns & McDonnell provides full program management services and has been honored with
two prestigious awards on behalf of the project by the NJ Alliance for Action. Burns & McDonnell also serves as the
program manager on the $630M portion of the project in Pennsylvania, which includes 70 miles of new and rebuilt 230-kV /
500-kV overhead transmission lines through Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike, and Monroe counties, one new 500-kV/
230-kV substation and upgrades to seven existing 230-kV substations.
