Cliffs Notes

US Army National Training CenterUnits must face a near-peer opposing force, while taking on an insurgent force. At the same time, they must assist the local towns and villages in any way possible.
Fort Irwin Mission: The National Training Center conducts tough, realistic, Unified Land Operations with our Unified Action Partners to prepare Brigade Combat Teams and other units for combat while taking care of Soldiers, Civilians, and Family members.
Fort Irwin and CH2M Partnership

CH2M’s role at Fort IrwinIn 2005, US Army awarded CH2M a 50-year contract to operate and maintain the water and wastewater distribution, collection, and treatment facilities. In performance of our duties CH2M optimizes investments in personnel and technology to improve utility and asset management practices

~1,200 square miles in the Mojave Desert
~ 18,000 “permanent” residents
10 -12 training rotations per year consisting of 6000 soldiers per rotation
Domestic Water – 3 well fields, 2 booster pump stations, 99 miles of distribution main, 571 hydrants, 6 storage tanks
Potable Water – RO plant, 44 miles of distribution mains, 3 storage tanks
Wastewater – 2 MGD plant, 56 miles of sewer main, 13 lift stations, 816 manholes
Recycled Title 22 Water for irrigation

Sewer cleaning
Leak detection/repair
Asset mapping
CCTV inspection
Construction inspection
Map changes
Backflow inspections
Valve isolation
Network tracing
Hydraulic modeling
Capital project identification/prioritization
Adopting technology advancements
ArcGIS Solutions Templates

Adopting the Esri Platform at Fort Irwin
Desktop GIS AND Web-GIS Needed an environment for both
Prototype using ArcGIS Online Services Web maps Applications iPads with Collector
Demonstrate value Building Finder Valve exercising Asset mapping
Invest in ArcGIS Server foundation Use on premise ArcGIS Server (Hosted at CH2M Denver data center) Supports desktop GIS using Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Publish to ArcGIS Online (CH2M org – Fort Irwin Group)
Focus on quick wins Adapt Esri Solution templates for SDSFIE and Fort Irwin workflows/reporting Related tables allow for one app and common interface -> Cross training of staff Replace Trimble GeoXT/XH with R1 for asset mapping
13
GIS now increasing responsivenessExample – Building Finder
14
Saving time, increasing quality, improve safetyExample – Asset Inspection Tool
Old workflow
Paper form
Complete work in the field
Transcribe paper form into Excel Workbook
New workflow
Complete work in the field, enter data in the field
Automated export of table to Excel
15
Saving time, increasing quality, improving safetyExample – Asset Inspection Tool
16
Improving quality and reliability while reducing costExample – Asset mapping in near real time
Old workflow
Prepare paper maps
Collect generic features
Differentially correct GPS files
Export to GIS format
Edit GIS
QC/Reconcile/Post
New workflow
Edit in the field with Collector/R1

Lessons Learned
Meet O&M staff on their terms
Limit fields displayed and picklist choices
Seek input early and often
Track configurations and changes over time.
Device Management can be a challenge
Device choice
Data plans
Ruggedize
Anti-glare
Power
Plan for failure
Related Tables are awesome!
Not available when we started
Allow for SDSFIE Features and non-SDSFIE tables that support O&M
AGOL enabled rapid prototyping and deployment. Sometimes while crews in the field. Outside the production system.
Solution Templates are a great starting point.
Drink the Kool-Aid!
My advice – drink heavily

Next Steps
Additional workflows to be implemented
Operations Dashboard for tracking work
CMMS integration
Sewer main cleaning
CCTV workflow
