Best Practices for Utility Management
Presented by
Steve Osiecki, GISP
Agenda
Data management for utilities
Developing harmonized CAD/GIS environment
Importance of a good database structure
Tools for implementation
Best practices learned
Managing your assets
Data will guide decisions
– Public expects accountability and transparency
– Loss of local knowledge due to retiring/changing workforce
Helps get funding
– Cold, hard facts of the data dictates the $ needs
Being forced to do more with less
– Planned maintenance vs. reactive, inefficient work
Emerging requirements
– NPDES Permit requirements
– GASB Statement 34 Valuation
Growing philosophy around applications
Leverage standards and templates
Leverage your internal tools, knowledge and experience
Select COTS when you have a focused need
Think mobile
Build custom as a last resort
System Maintenance

CAD and GIS data
Design and Construction
– CAD
– Civil 3D design
– Survey
– BIM modeling
Record drawings
– BIM modeling
– Paper
– CAD
– Survey
Long term asset management
– GIS
– Survey
– Cartegraph, Cityworks, etc.
Benefits of having a standard
Create consistency in data received
Facilitate integration of data into both CAD & GIS
environments for sharing and other uses
Maximize investment
Create clarity in data submissions
CAD Standards – US National CAD
Standard
American Institute Of Architects layer guidelines
Construction Specification Institute Uniform Drawing Systems

– File management
– CAD naming conventions
– Software platform
– Layer Standardization

FME
Feature Manipulation Engine (FME)
Key Features
– Connect to your applications
• 345 formats and applications
– Transform your data
• 450 transformation tools
– Automate your workflows
• Schedule procedures
Esri Interoperability Extension
Uses Safe Software's FME technology
– Esri has licensed some of the core components
ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS for Server extensions
Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL) tools
Works with BIM and Revit formats
Does not support all AutoCAD Civil 3D features
– Future release (10.5) will contain added compatibility
Automating import of data
Three options exist for how this is typically handled:
– Use Esri’s Data Interoperability extension to automate imports
– Use Safe Software’s FME if extended requirements exist
– Program in ModelBuilder/Python if more simplistic imports are all
you need
Data Standards facilitate Integration
