Abstract
 Rapid Data Capture and Asset Inspections--Saving Money Track: Electric and Gas Author(s): Fanny Lariviere, Tony Thistoll, Wayne Warren How a New Zealand power company saved time and money by using a new data capture system for their in-the-field asset inspections will be presented. Electra saved 50 percent on their in-the-field costs and completely eliminated their back-end data entry, realizing a whole host of other benefits in the process. The system is based around mobile data capture in the field with integrated GIS data collection tools which have been designed especially for field users who are not computer proficient, such as Electra's linesmen.
