1Spatial For Gas Networks

Robust operational data is critical; 1Spatial has the tools for the job

Gas transmission and distribution networks face unique operational challenges, in many cases driven by safety requirements. Mains and junctions need to be a safe distance from properties and always accessible.  Ageing mains must be replaced before they become a risk.  Avoiding the build-up of gas under built-on ground is a constant challenge. The location of underground assets must be known before works take place.  Information must be clearly communicated to contractors, local authorities and partner networks, without ambiguity. All these requirements make the business critically dependent on robust operational data.

But asset data has not always been captured and despite improvement initiatives quality is often poor.  Historical data was captured to a lower accuracy and to different standards than those expected today.  Data is held in different systems and in different formats making it harder to access and leading to confusion over which data is authoritative.  Managing data change is an on-going overhead – even distinguishing a real-world change from a positional update is not straightforward.

1Spatial specializes in tackling these challenges. Look forward to the day when the whole organization has complete trust in its spatial data. The backlog of change has gone. Manual re-work and re-load is minimized.  And you really do have a single view of the truth.
