Case Study - How embedded maps
enhance decision making

When considering infrastructure management, especially when funding is limited, you need management tools that can

Accurately define the quality and extent of your assets

Identify problem areas and the worst portions of the
infrastructure.

Allow you to determine how to most cost-effectively
improve (replace or repair) the worst parts of the
infrastructure.

The ideal tool for performing this analysis is an embedded CCTV GIS map. All relevant defects/observations are mapped together with data to WSSA standards. At a glance you can immediately see an overall condition of the pipe, and how the pipe / defect locations relate to surroundings i.e. roads/footpaths/buildings/shopping centers etc.

Faults plotted at location along pipeline

Simply by clicking on each fault, you can bring up a photo of each defect together with details and comments. Clicking on the pipeline will display the CCTV video clip.

The benefits to you over a more traditional approach include

   Time saved matching report data to physical location

   Ability to see all available data in one place

   Ability to share data between users/departments

   Able to relate data to other GIS layers e.g. road construction / trees

   Time dated data provides maintenance record / deterioration baseline

The map layers created can be outputted to work with any major GIS system. We can also provide a free read-only viewer to allows users who don’t have a system in place to enjoy the benefits that embedded maps can bring to your organization.
