GIS Development for Utilities

Utilities depend on an accurate model of their network. We help electricity and water utilities capture, model and use that network, from field survey and geodatabase delivery to the dashboards and apps built on top of it.

For GIS, asset and operations teams at electricity and water utilities who need one trusted view of the network, from field survey to the control room.

What we build for utilities

The workflows where location data makes the biggest difference in this sector.

  1. 01

    Network survey and data delivery

    As-built drawings, survey data and geotagged asset photos captured and delivered as standardised geodatabases.

  2. 02

    Network modelling and migration

    Moving from Geometric Network to the ArcGIS Utility Network, including data preparation, topology validation, rule configuration and training.

  3. 03

    Outage visibility

    Dashboards that show fault locations, affected customers and restoration progress, plus public pages for planned outages.

  4. 04

    Asset and inspection management

    Pole, substation and line records with inspection history and maintenance scheduling, collected in the field with Field Maps or Survey123.

  5. 05

    Planning tools

    ArcGIS Pro add-ins that automate engineering and QA tasks for planners and analysts.

  6. 06

    System integration

    Connecting GIS with SCADA, outage management, ERP and CRM systems through REST services and FME.

Typical stack

The tools we most often use in utility projects. We choose per project, based on your existing systems, licences and team.
