Water and gas networks, power lines, streetlights, trees, roads – infrastructure consists of thousands of assets spread across large areas. GIS puts them on a map with all their information.
Asset register
Each asset becomes a feature with attributes: type, material, installation year, condition, maintenance history, documents and photos. Everyone works with the same, current data.
Maintenance planning
- Prioritise maintenance based on age, condition and criticality
- Plan inspection routes efficiently
- Visualise upcoming work on the map
- Link to work-order systems or ERP (for example SAP PM)
Field data collection
Technicians use mobile apps to:
- view assets and documents on site,
- record inspections and damage with photos and GPS,
- work offline and sync later.
Network analysis
- Which customers are affected if a valve is closed?
- Where are bottlenecks in the network?
- How does a new connection affect capacity?
Integration with other data
Combine assets with terrain, flood zones, land registry data or satellite imagery to assess risks and plan investments.
Benefits
- Faster fault response
- Better investment decisions
- Fewer duplicate site visits
- Reliable documentation for regulators
- Knowledge preserved when experienced staff retire
Getting started
Many organisations start by digitising existing plans and spreadsheets into a spatial database, then add web maps and mobile data collection step by step.
We support infrastructure operators from data migration to custom GIS applications.
