Utility and Infrastructure Management

One of the key uses for GIS is mapping utilities, whether those are underground, on-ground, or above ground. Peak Geospatial has extensive experience working with local governments, large and small utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), surveyors, and others to help them locate, organize, and maintain their utility and infrastructure spatial data.

Some of the utilities and infrastructure datasets that Peak Geospatial has worked with…

• • • Sanitary
    • Water
    • Drainage/Storm
    • Power
    • Gas
    • Communication (fiber, cable, telecom)
    • Gas
    • Electrical

While it’s crucial to understand where (spatially) these utilities are, it’s equally as important to know (and maintain) the attributes for these assets.

For example, knowing that there is a sanitary pipe in the on Main Street between 4th and 5th Ave is important, however knowing that this is a 200mm vitrified clay pipe installed in 1991 makes this dataset all the more valuable. Adding to this is knowing the condition of that pipe, you can quickly see how valuable GIS is when dealing with utility and infrastructure data.

Peal Geospatial has worked with clients to…

• • • Build their utility data from scratch (via record drawings)
    • Update existing, out-of-date datasets
    • Design and build flexible data models to move existing data into
    • Integrate utility data with existing/new asset management and work order management systems
    • Produce city/district/reserve wall maps of existing infrastructure for use in the office/meetings
  •
