Abstract

Reducing Excavation Damage in the Gas Industry Using Real-Time GIS
Track: Pipeline and Gas Utilities
Authors: Robert Marros

GTI is working to reduce third party damage from excavation activity by using Real-Time GIS technology and cellular-connected location and motion sensors placed on construction equipment. Real-time tracking of construction equipment, gas system infrastructure GIS data and activity characterization algorithms are used to alert stakeholders to potential damage from active excavations. This presentation discusses the use of Esri ArcGIS Server, GeoEvent Processor and Amazon Web Services.
