Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): David Feuer, Ryan Fernandes, Mary Helen Wood
Any long-term project presents its own set of technology and coordination issues and the Fulton County project was no different. This is a case study focusing on the Water and Wastewater Utility Inventory, a five-year, multi-million dollar project that incorporated high-tech field collection efforts in addition to a complete GIS network. Fulton County utilized ArcGIS Server Standard Edition, which allowed manhole problems to be posted to a website for the county to print, send out with its field crews, and report the results. Multiple ArcGIS tools and application were used and written to facilitate the GIS conversion process and perform extensive QAQC procedures. During this project, GIS technology evolved from using shapefiles to personal/SDE geodatabases that linked with proprietary field collection software. This presentation will highlight the technology utilized in this process as well as the team’s successes, lessons learned, and the overall benefits experienced by the client.
