GIS Improves Accuracy, Efficiency of Call-Before-You-Dig Program
Careless digging poses a threat to people and underground facilities.
Most states have established one-call centers to ensure damage
prevention and excavation safety. GIS makes it easier to provide
accurate data and to cut safety costs for compliance. PPL Electric
Utilities relies on Pennsylvania One Call's PHOENIX mapping system.
Using ESRI's ArcGIS software, the company maps underground facilities
and places buffers according to the high-consequence area regulation
standards.
By using GIS data through the PHOENIX program, PPL Electric
Utilities, which receives more than 130,000 cable location requests
annually, has saved thousands of unnecessary trips to the field.
