 Electrical Designing in the Field Using ArcGIS and ArcFM Track: Electric and Gas Author(s): John MacNaughton, Jeff Schick, Niki Kernohan, Ranjit Menon Hydro One Network, based in Ontario, Canada owns and operates one of the largest electric transmission and distribution systems in North America, covering 75 percent of the province of Ontario, serving more than 1.2 million metered customers. Hydro One chose ArcGIS 8.3 GIS software including GPS functionality to improve asset management and the design process for distribution and transmission facilities. Miner and Miner's Mobile ArcFM/Designer solution provided a means to facilitate electrical designing while disconnected from the Enterprise GIS and still maintaining full design functionality on the Enterprise GIS system. This paper provides an overview of the workflow and GIS components required both in the Enterprise environment and in the field to support the GIS solution at Hydro One. This paper also discusses the business processes and technical challenges that were overcome to allow this large-scale implementation of Mobile and Enterprise GIS to be a success.
