The Benefits of GIS
In total, the GIS solution gives pipeline owners:
- Increased detail of representation of pipeline assets, pipe segments including integration opportunities with work management software and Environmental Monitoring programs
- Provides increased granularity for planning capital programs; Target specific pipes for replacement instead of whole waterlines
- Historical pipe data maintained for perpetuity in database
- Defects are uniquely tracked over several inspections. This provides defect trend analysis and projecting future defect values
- Maintains ability to export for hydraulic analysis and present hydraulic analysis results in the GIS for calibration
- This data model delivers a high value data set that is very accurate at representing existing water infrastructure
This data is accessible via a simple web browser or through ESRI’s ArcView software. PPIC provides full training and user support.
The PPIC GIS tools are developed for both environments with the casual user in mind and take advantage of the data structure to enhance the users ability to mine data and perform:
- Risk Analysis
- Cost Analysis
- Trend Analysis
- Report Production
- Pipe Section Locates
