have dedicated our efforts to delivering unmatched quality drawings and customer service.
Our core services include design drafting, GIS mapping, 3-D visualization, BIM modeling,

We deliver the traditional benefits of outsourcing - precise technical expertise when and only
when you need it. We also understand that your organization's business and technical
landscape will change - and sometimes very quickly. We're ready to adjust our resources onthe-fly without any headaches so they're aligned with your current needs. Whether your firm
needs temporary help shoring up a CAD project or specialized design expertise to complete a
project, Pinnacle will offer a flexible solution that meets all of your needs.
Our most powerful asset is the people that make up our team. Our staff is highly skilled in the
use of AutoCAD, Revit, ADT, Land Development Desktop and Civil 3D and GIS. Our staff
also has a in-depth understanding of engineering and architectural design concepts.
We customize our services to the specific requirements of each client. Pinnacle offers the
flexibility of working on site at your office or at our state-of-the-art facility. Either way, you can
expect efficient and high quality work from us. We have successfully created a niche for
providing superior out-sourced cad services without the “out-source problems”. We are
considered a part of the team at all of our clients. At Pinnacle Consulting, we fully realize the
reason for our success. Relationships, client commitment, and consistent quality are the
cornerstone of our company.

EPA GIS database. Project required the collection of surface water quality data from the State and US EPA
along with other state agencies. The data was first formatted and then imported into a Microsoft Access
database where each of the unique samples were categorized by the Water body where a sample was
collected, then by the sample's Station Id (location of sampling location in each water body), then by Sample
ID and finally for each constituent analyzed in a sample (I.E. turbidity, Turbidity, Nitrates, Organic Carbon,
Phytoplankton etc.). Once imported, various statistical analysis can be performed on the newly acquired
data such as percentiles or standard deviation to allow the US EPA to determine a set of guidelines for
Surface water quality criteria.
