    1. Eric Wing, GISP July 6, 2010 Penn State Advisor: Dr. Todd Bacastow

    2. Overview Background Objectives Methodology Timeline Challenges Anticipated Results Questions

    3. Boise and Sewer 650 miles of sewer lines 51,760 customers 30 million dollars annual revenue 150 users in Public Works

    4. Sewer in the Field GIS Data Manholes Mainlines Service Laterals

    5. GPS vs CCTV GPS Since 1995 22,431 records Better representation CCTV Pre 1990 60,454 records

    6. CCTV

    7. Current Process

    8. Issues 12 year old UNIX server ARC/INFO 7 AML and coverages Many manual steps Automated processes take 62 hours Current solution has known limitations

    9. Objectives Streamline the process Reduce manual steps Automate where possible Use ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 technology No new extensions No additional software Correct for current limitations Evaluate expansion opportunities

    10. Project Management

    11. Linear Referencing

    12. Research Approach Understand the problem before solving Document current workflow Literature review Peer discussions with neighboring sewer agencies Study linear referencing in ESRI software Document business requirements

    13. Development Approach

    14. Timeline April Project planning Literature review Requirements planning May Requirements gathering Document current processes June Prototype Finalize requirements Present to peers

    15. Challenges Hansen 8 upgrade Synchronization between GIS and Hansen Appropriate level of solution sophistication Models Python scripts Out of the box functionality

    16. Challenges Continued Reverse Setups 12:00 and 6:00 observations

    17. Anticipated Results Significant time savings Fewer manual steps More automation Eliminate UNIX server and ARC/INFO 7 Open the opportunity to significantly expand capabilities

    18. Prototype Results

    19. Anticipated Results: Bonus More data, better decisions Wastewater pretreatment Rehabilitation/reconstruction Construction Alternative to Hansen
