September 2017 Newsletter: U.K. Utility Merges Assets

arrow-in-the-field
The Arrow 100 GPS / GNSS receiver attaches easily, in this case, to a backpack for hands-free high-accuracy data collection on ArcGIS Collector.

Sitting in north east England, Northumbrian Water’s asset network features 30,000 km (18,600 miles) of wastewater pipes, including 13,500 km (8,300 miles) transferred into its ownership as a result of a legislative change. So when it came time to meet internal requests to accurately map the full asset inventory, the utility needed a highly accurate solution.

But there was a catch: They were on a fast timeline with a limited budget.

Learn why Northumbrian Water selected the Arrow 100 along with Esri ArcGIS Online to get the job done. Read the full feature article from the September 2017 Eos newsletter here.
