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.

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.

When the time came to re-assess legacy GIS workflows that included checking in and out files, manually transferring data in and out of the field, and using expensive technology to do it all — Indiana AmWater took the opportunity to see if there was a better solution on the market.

Here is what they discovered, the technology solution they used, and how doing so got as-builting down to just seven days at the midwestern utility. Read the full article from the November 2017 Eos newsletter here.
