DIMP Business Case

• You have to comply –Operators must know the location of their equipment and must make a reasonable attempt to review existing data sources – (Design, Construction, O/M manuals, including field survey’s)

• AGA Sample Approaches1. Subject Matter Experts Approach2. Mathematical Approach

How can GIS help

“Maintain records demonstrating compliance”“Measure performance, monitor results, and evaluate effectiveness”

Example – Texas Gas Services is currently moving disparate data sources to a new Geospatial Data Model. This project is 100% funded by a Rate Hike initiated by DIMP

One Call Ticket Management

Verification of valid one call or damage prevention tickets relative to buried facilitiesMore accurate and efficient locates can save significant dollars annually – savings of approximately $1,000,000 per year by screening ~40% of the locate requests rather than using a contract locator service

More Horizontally Accurate data reduces even greater volume of field verification and reduces “risk” against damaged facilities and improves integrity of systems for public safety
