Abstract
GIS Field Data Collection Projects for Electric Utilities: Practical Considerations
Track: Electric and Gas
Author(s): Christopher Zent
The Osmose Utilities Division has been conducting high-volume digital field data collection for electric and telecommunications utilities since 1985. The company has completed many large GIS projects and developed an array of methodologies and techniques for handling field-collected utility GIS data. Most organizations recognize that data is the key component of any GIS, and this fact underscores the importance of properly planning a high-volume data collection project. This discussion will provide helpful information for those considering such an endeavor, including topics such as evaluating data requirements, field data collection equipment options, and data processing considerations.
