Using the Underground Locate Application Presenter Corey Lunty GIS Technical Support Analyst
15
Background Contact with underground power facilities during excavation has long been a danger. These incidents can end in serious injuries or fatalities, as well as damage to electrical infrastructure. ATCO Electrical and other utilities have a joint effort with a non-profit organization named Alberta OneCall to organize underground line location when requested, to help mitigate these risks. This serves as a single point of contact for Albertan customers with any excavation related utility concerns.
16
The Business Driver In the past, ATCO Electric’s underground locate work was managed independently by district locations, with manual distribution of work. There were 37 offices managing underground location in 37 different ways. There were opportunities for redesigning this process to make it more efficient. ATCO Electric’s business driver was to improve and change existing processes by centralizing all the Underground Locate work into a system based solution to better plan and manage work.
17
Process Overview 1.A customer calls Alberta OneCall prior to excavating on their property. 2.This request gets sent to ATCO Electric from Alberta OneCall 3.Underground Locate work coordinators at our Central Work Desk review the work and assign it to either an external contractor or an internal employee A few different programs are involved in this process: Maximo, G\Netviewer, i\Dispatcher, as well as MobileTC
18
In depth To kick off the process, AB One Call receives a locate request. This request is formed into a text file which is sent via FTP to an ATCO server
19
This request file is parsed by some custom written code, and a work order is created in Maximo.
20
Next, a row is inserted into our G\Tech database. UL coordinators use a custom G\Netviewer extension to locate the request geographically and determine whether or not we have facilities in that area.
21
i/Dispatcher Pending Jobs Monitor A job is then created in InService and is assigned by our dispatchers. These Underground locate jobs are viewed in their own tab, but are dispatched just like any other job. [Pic from Inservice here]
22
MobileTC Job Detail Screen A MobileTC user then performs the locate in the field, and then fills out completion data and completes the job.
23
MobileTC Completion Form Closure information as well as any contractor invoices, etc are digitally returned and added to the Maximo Work order, to be kept as a long term record. The underground locate is now complete!
