Gas Utilities Migrating to the Utility Network
Investing in the Future: DTE’s Iterative Approach to ArcGIS Utility Network Migration
Wednesday, Oct 23 / 3:00 PM
Pasadena | Renaissance
In 2022, DTE began work towards migrating their current gas GIS schema to the ArcGIS Utility Network by developing a strategy that ensures they meet their unique business needs. During this effort, DTE identified the necessity of using a less conventional approach and migrating their distribution and transmission models individually; this involves migrating the different data models sequentially and to different databases. DTE will share the process and reasoning that led them to this strategy and how these considerations could benefit fellow utility companies in planning for their migration.

Gas Utility Data Management
Bringing Distribution and Transmission Gas GIS Together with the Utility Network
Thursday, Oct 24 / 9:00 AM
Pasadena | Renaissance
Enbridge Gas recently completed a GIS transformation with UDC, moving from two separate GIS data models to one shared Utility Network platform. They implemented Esri’s ArcGIS Workflow Manager to support GIS editing workflows for distribution and transmission, and ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing for transmission. They overcame challenges, including securing hardware and evaluating third-party applications. They found ways to complete GIS tasks through standardization of data and tool customization. This transformation is helping Enbridge to pursue its vision of building a GIS to support Pipeline Safety.
