ENHANCED GIS SUBURBAN CONSULTING

ENGINEERS, INC.

In response to natural gas provider expectations, upcoming PHMSA 192.63 requirements, and with an

understanding of the significance of accountability in an evolving industry, SCE’s Natural Gas Utility and

Natural Gas GIS Departments have collaboratively developed the process known as “Enhanced GIS Data

Collection.” Enhanced GIS is an efficient way to ensure your assets are “Traceable, Verifiable &

Complete”, while setting up the foundation for a comprehensive Asset Management Plan that offers

reduced liability and future cost-savings.

What’s the Process?

SCE offers collaborative partnerships and experiences using a variety of data collection solutions depending on Client

preference for hardware and software options and personnel needs. SCE provides schema consulting and data collection

scope recommendations and works diligently with each Client to ensure that comprehensive GIS data is captured by our

trained GIS Field Technicians during the installation of gas mains. Our Field Technicians are in constant contact with the

pipeline contractor to capture all data without disrupting the contractor’s productivity. After a thorough QA/QC process to

verify data integrity, Enhanced GIS Data is integrated into the Client’s existing GIS system, resulting in final closeout

documentation and as-laid drawing generation. SCE’s Project Team has been instrumental in the development and

implementation of this process for a number of leading natural gas utility companies throughout the country.

SCE provides Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 service options:

➢ Tier 1 – GIS Consulting, Startup, & Training

➢ Tier 2 – GIS Consulting, Startup, Training, QA/QC & Field Support

➢ Tier 3 – Full Service Solutions Including Field Technicians

Did You Know?

The natural gas industry will be required to comply with the PHMSA 192.63 Regulations. These federal requirements dictate a new level of tracking, traceability, documentation, accuracy, organization and accountability for natural gas providers. Enhanced GIS is an all-inclusive solution that meets all pending PHMSA Regulations - Ask us how!
