It has become apparent that to be regulatory compliant and manage assets efficiently, utilities need to have a comprehensive enterprise GIS database. SourceGas recently completed a project converting historic information from CAD As-built drawings and populating attributes from As-built/CAD annotations into their existing GIS database. The paper illustrates the challenges faced and methodology utilized to make this project successful. Lastly, this paper will also touch on the benefits realized.
