UTILITY GIS WORKSHOP

This workshop conducted on April 4, 2001, delves into the essential aspects of constructing an effective Utility Geographic Information System (GIS). Attendees will explore what works and what doesn’t in GIS development, with a focus on defining pilot goals. Topics covered include CAD conversion techniques, source map integration, attribute collection, and field data methodologies. Emphasis will be placed on financial, procedural, and logistical evaluations to ensure project viability and political approval, ultimately fostering community buy-in and establishing a successful GIS framework.

Presentation Transcript

  1. UTILITY GIS WORKSHOP APRIL 4, 2001 SPONSORED BY SEMCOG

  2. TODAYS AGENDA • SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A UTILITY GIS ? • LET’S SEE WHAT WORKS (and what does not) • WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE UTILITY GIS ?

  3. PILOT DEFINITION • PURPOSE OF PILOT • CAD Conversion Techniques • Source Maps • Attribute Sources • Field Data Collection • JIM MILLER, OHM • Reasons To Conduct A Pilot

  4. REASONS FOR HAVING A PILOT • Financial evaluation • Procedural evaluation • Logistical evaluation • Political approval • Others?

  5. FINANCIAL EVALUATION • Representative area should prove or disprove that the budget is appropriate. • Production rates should give some indication if schedule is appropriate. • Will unforeseen tasks fit within the approved budget?

  6. PROCEDURAL EVALUATION • Is the consultants work plan going to get the job done? • Are all the steps accounted for? • Now is the time to make changes! Or else “Damn the torpedoes…”

  7. LOGISTICAL EVALUATION • Are all the source materials really available? What’s Plan B? • Does the consultant really have all the appropriate staff and resources to do the job? • Is the community really able to do their part?

  8. POLITICAL APPROVAL • Pilot should provide a quick turn around product for political buy-in. • Pilot should create enthusiasm and credibility for the “Champion” • Provides opportunity for scope and budget change in a positive context.

  9. OTHER GOALS? • Focus on communication issues. • Any hidden agenda?

  10. PILOT

  11. DEFINE DATA SOURCES • EXISTING DATA FILES • AS BUILTS • CAD DRAWINGS • FIELD SURVEYS • OTHERS

  12. DEFINE DATABASE • TRADITIONAL DATA MODEL • EXISTING DATA MODEL • UNIQUE DATA MODEL • FIELDS / FORMATS • LINKS TO APPLICATIONS

  13. OBJECT DATA MODEL • ESRI ArcFM Data Model • White Paper April 2000 • Hands On Implementation ? • Anyone ??

  14. CONDUCT PILOT • DEFINE PILOT GOALS • Pilot will establish costs, QC/QA procedures, data constraints, graphic and data maintenance functions • Examine several conversion approaches • paper to digital via heads up • field GPS with batch processing • Pilot review is key - everyone must be involved

  15. GPS CONVERSION

  16. CONVERSION EXAMPLE

  17. ATTRIBUTE COLLECTION

  18. REVIEW PILOT • CHECK PROCEDURES • FINALIZE QA/QC • ESTABLISH FULL CONVERSION COSTS • CAN WE AFFORD THIS ?

  19. DATA REVIEW

  20. FULL CONVERSION

  21. BREAK
