Abstract

Managing Utility Asset IDs and Links to Related Documents with ArcGIS
Track: Public Works
Authors: Doug Pickering, Amy Purves

In conjunction with the Baltimore City Dept. of Public Works, JMT Technology Group developed and implemented a set of ArcMap add-ins and Python scripts to manage updates to both functional and physical utility asset IDs while maintaining links to critical documents such as engineering drawings, inspections, and reports. Such a solution is particularly important for older cities such as Baltimore due to frequent updates from the replacement and rehabilitation of aging public utilities.
