  1. Integrating Easements withthe Design SystemJune 13, 2012 John McMurray Manager of Engineering Services Sumter Electric Cooperative, Inc.

  2. SECO Overview • 2,000+ sq. miles • 7 counties • 178,000 members • 15,000 easements

  3. 2005 Easement Storage Situation 15,000+ in boxes & cabinets 4,000 from 1938 - 1945 in boxes not recorded Remainder organized by S-T-R in cabinets Stored at HQ – time consuming for employees at remote locations to research

  4. Easement Issues SECO easement map books (by county) in poor condition Ripped covers & torn sheets Dating from the 1940’s Illegible handwriting No duplicate or backup documents

  5. Easement Issues (cont.) 1937 easement SECO’s oldest easements faded & difficult to read torn pages no duplicate or backup

  6. Easement Issues (cont.) • Not available to all required personnel • Some easements misfiled • Research efforts were painstakingly time-consuming

  7. Easement Integration Steps • Scan all easements • Index easement fields in Laserfiche • Send RFP to hyperlink easements in GIS

  8. 1. Scanning Easements • High school student scanned all easements

  9. 2. Indexing in Laserfiche • Established enterprise storage solution - Laserfiche • Easements • Work orders • Accounting • Much more Index & search up to 30 fields

  10. 3. RFP for Easement Linkage to GIS • Access to all employees who require it • Digital archiving • Quicker access for employees • Visual overlay in GIS • Multi-field searchable database • Improved member response Request for Proposal

  11. Easement Integration • Merged land data from each county into GIS • Normalized the data to fit our GIS formats • Infotech programmers (India) • created easement polygons in GIS • linked easements to polygons.

  12. Easement Status

  13. Easement Polygons

  14. Easement Hyperlink in GIS

  15. Construction Work Plan (CWP) Extract RECONDUCTOR ROUTE

  16. Construction Work Plan Extract • Extract of parcel owners along reconductor route • retrieved in 2 hours • previously took 2 to 3 days using county records

  17. Easement Acquisition Process • Redefined with process improvements

  18. Easement Summary All easements scanned, stored in Laserfiche & linked to GIS Easement records are accessible at remote locations Created spin-off application for retrieving parcel owners Redefined easement acquisition process Significantly reduced time to research easements Improved member response
