By collecting points that represent the mainline at every 25 feet with sub-meter accuracy, Indiana American Water can get a 90 percent accurate representation of its mainline in just seven days, the fastest as-builting turnaround in the utility’s history.[/caption]
Historically, getting as-builts turned around in just six months was a major accomplishment at most utilities. But at Indiana American Water, a subsidiary of the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility, they thought they could do better.
