ETVA VI.PE. S.A. is a member of the Piraeus Bank Group of Companies and its activities include designing,
developing, exploiting and managing Industrial Areas throughout Greece. Inside ETVA VI.PE.’s thirty-one Industrial
Parks there are currently 2,500 manufacturing companies established, with 40,000 employees and € 2.5 billion of
invested funds. In each one of the industrial areas ETVA VI.PE guarantees the companies industrial lots of land (sites)
with propitious building codes and complete infrastructure networks of water supply, sewerage, paved roads, power
supply, communications, cleansing services, etc.
The development of Geographical Information System for ETVA VI.PE.’s Industrial Parks started at the beginning of
1992 and consists of three subsystems: Cadastre, that manages the information for the land acquisition of Industrial
Areas; Street Layout - Sites, that manages the sites sold to manufacturing companies; Networks, that manages the
infrastructure networks (roads, water supply, sewerage etc). The mapping of each Industrial Park is made incorporating
state-of-the-art photogrammetric, cartographic and surveying methods and techniques. Passing through the phases of
initial design (hybrid GIS) and system upgrade (integrated Gis solution with spatial database), the system is currently
operating on a new upgrade (integrated gIS solution with spatial database) that includes redesigning and merging the
system’s database schemas, along with the creation of central security policies, and the development of a new web GIS
application for advanced data entry, highly customisable and standard reports, and dynamic interactive maps. The new
GIS bring the company to advanced levels of productivity and introduce the new era for decision making and business
management.
