Determining Consequence of Failure Using Modelbuilder
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Jordan Hamm, Jerry Biedenbender

By utilizing advanced GIS capabilities by means of Modelbuilder, SD1 generated a consequence of failure rating for over 1600 miles of sewer lines in its service area. This was a multi-tiered approach beginning with data acquisition, attribute analysis, database development, and geoprocessing. Modelbuilder enhanced this process, giving us the ability to string tools together to collect the required attribution and compile the final score for each asset.
