Tom Robinson of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and UDC’s TJ Houle have been selected to host a Gas GIS session at this year’s Esri UC 2018. Our joint presentation titled Simplifying Inspections for Cathodic Protection Crews will take place on Thursday, July 12 at 1:00 pm in Room 25C of the San Diego Convention Center. Together, we will share an overview of the CP Program and how PG&E is using an ArcGIS application named Compliance Manager to perform functions that allow improved convenience and capability to achieve better program results. Some of the improvement areas to be discussed include:
- Visually defining all CP survey inspections by CP area within the GIS and assigning work to the field
- Using an Esri runtime mobile application that allows inspection crews to:
- Provide survey locations based on real asset information
- Add CP remediation facilities to the CP area, to the GIS and retest and record the results
- Indicate field findings, actions performed and how they left the CP area
- Monitoring and reporting capabilities to visually see the status of all active PG&E CP Survey inspections
- Providing a dashboard of CP areas status to all interested parties:
- Operations
- Engineering
- Integrity Management
- Asset Management
The Esri User Conference is a key event for UDC where we join with clients and peers to share our experiences with GIS technology and gain user insight. UDC is a 2018 Bronze Sponsor for the conference and will be exhibiting at Booth 419. We invite you to stop in our booth to view the Compliance Manager application firsthand as well as attend our presentation to learn more about Gas Cathodic Protection Survey and the program at PG&E. See our joint presentation from GeoConX – Modeling Cathodic Protection in Your Enterprise GIS.
We welcome you to contact UDC to make an appointment for a personal in-booth Compliance Manager demonstration while at the UC. Download our eBook and read the project profile – Automated Cathodic Protection Survey for more information about the initiative.
