Abstract

Water Utility Assessment Strategies in GIS
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: GRANT RAUDENBUSH, Heather Schuchard

Utilities face an aging inventory of underground infrastructure that is in need of repair or replacement. The importance of a sustainable utility infrastructure is directly dependent on consistent and maintained assets. For some utilities, maintaining and adapting to modern technology standards can be a challenge with integration into multiple CMMS applications and a stable and upgradeable GIS platform.

This Presentation of GIS for Water Utilities will discuss strategies for building more Intelligence and Information into your Water Utilities GIS; Data-model design, Data Work-flow, Field data collection, WEB-mapping and Analysis from an Assessment/Inspection perspective.
