Agenda 2
The common elements for Asset Management The challenges we all face Overcoming challenges
Examples in practice
Opportunities for change and continuous improvement
My Involvement in Asset Management/GIS
• 14 years in Mapping, Geospatial Information and BIM Industry: • 7 years with UK Central Government , in Environmental departments • 4 years GIS Manager, at London Underground • 5 years as a consultant – asset management and construction sectors Today • Director, GeoEnable • Council Member/Director, AGI -
The UK’s Geospatial Membership Body • Chair, AGI Asset Management SIG
Asset Management 4
"coordinated activity of an organization to realize value from assets".
In turn, Assets are defined as follows: "An asset is an item, thing or
entity that has potential or actual value to an organization".

Why ‘Geo-Enable’ Asset Management?
Combines AMS and GIS capabilities: • Organise information by location • Facilitate integrated planning • Report project progress • Visualise assets in context • Identify patterns and trends • Validate asset location • Accessibility of CAD and survey
information
GIS for Asset Management
Communication & Collaboration on projects
Stakeholder and customer engagement
Time savings for finding, re-use and sharing of data (surveys, CAD, GIS)
Visualising and mapping non-spatial information
Providing context to projects and disparate data layers

What do we need? 9
A common language and classification system An agreed specification Controlled processes
An awareness of capability Integration with other systems / business activities
Continuous improvement
Alignment with business drivers and ‘purpose’

Departmental ‘Silos’
Experienced Employees able to ‘navigate’ departmental
obstacles
Manual effort leading to: Waste of time Inconsistent information RISK to business
We need to think about 13
Are we looking at all the pieces?
Is your GIS ‘fit for purpose’?
Technology is simply a tool, an enabler

Cross-discipline Process Integration
Successful re-engineering requires a shift from projects and tools to Service Delivery and Whole-life Asset Management
Bespoke client and discipline-based
tools run the project
Functions are acknowledged, but project-based focus dominate
Processes, Service Delivery & WLAM drive the business

Case Study
Tube Lines / London Underground
The London Underground The oldest and one of the largest mass transit railways in the world
What was Tube Lines? • Is an asset-management company selected by the UK Government to regenerate and modernize the following London Underground Lines:
– Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly (JNP) •Tube Lines Ltd is now part of London Underground / TfL
Approximately 2,100 employees
Assets and Network 227 escalators 71 lifts 2,395 buildings and structures
207 miles of track 251 trains 100 stations
1.75 Million Passengers each Weekday
Contract
• Performance Contract between Tube Lines and London Underground.
• Tube Lines is contracted to improve the assets and the service.
• Pain/gain based on five measurement criteria: – Capability - Journey time minutes, – Availability - Lost customer hours, – Service points - Number of system faults, – Ambience - Mystery Shopper Surveys, – Stations delivery - Delivery of projects against set dates.
• To verify the legacy codes, existing track diagrams were annotated with the track and point (switch) codes.
• These are sent out to be verified by the local managers against marker plates that are fixed on to the track.
Data Verification and Construction - LRS Code

Data Verification and Construction - GIS LCS Model Creation (Track linear assets)
Overview - all Tube Lines tracks, centre lines drawn out to grid full size
Detail - all tracks and points given LCS coding.
All Points & Crossings (switches) represented as discrete area assets in the track model and the Maximo database
Location Coding System (LCS) coded into the model.
The best available track alignment data was used for codes and direction.
Model produced by drawing over existing Ordnance Survey maps in open areas.
In tunnels surveys and old record drawings used.
Relationship between GIS and Maximo
GIS shows assets & work orders etc.. geographically
Maximo sits on Oracle database, geometry held in spatial cartridge, asset and work order data

Maximo Asset data
Work orders
Maximo Applications – Work Management & Asset Register
Access databases, with asset data (being migrated into Maximo wherever possible)
• Network design rationale: – Station to Station defines a unique asset/network segment. – Each asset/network segment has detailed characteristics with an associated linear
measure. – Track Asset Register and Fault Management Grouped into:
• Check Rail • Conductor Rail • P&C (Switches) • Running Rail • Sleepers • Track Support, Drainage and Formation • Lineside Equipment • Off Track Items
Requirements - Storing of track linear assets details in Maximo
0m 100m 200m
Rail type LH Sleeper type Ballast type limestone
wooden flat bottom
granite concrete

Track Assets in Maximo
Track linear asset details - rail type, age, ballast , rails joints etc. for one track section held with start and stop positions along the asset.

Train Adhesion Study
Train Traction and Adhesion Survey
Building the Basics for a Geo-Infrastructure
• To define where we are on the track – need a coding system ( Legacy system specified by London Underground)
– N124 = unique area code – N = northern line – EB = eastbound track – LO = local track – 101 = 101 metres along track in direction from start of an area
We need Standards (& Codification)
Location Descriptions Before Robust Standards
‘EDGWARE STATION BETWEEN PLATFORM 2 & 3 FRONT OF P-WAY TOOL CABIN’ ‘LCS CODE B097 – IMR - NORTH OF THE STATION (NEAR THE MOSQUE)’ No use for our systems
Different Location Codes: Where do we mean?
• New Signaling Assets use linear ‘Guideway’ • Stations and inter-station section codes • Location Standard does exist in LU
Provides consistent location references – LUL Cat 1 Standard 1-035 - Location Coding System (LCS) – Controlled single source of truth – Unique for all track down to 1m – Unique for all rooms and cupboards
We must use this for how we describe locations in our asset register (Maximo)
Location Coding Standards – 1 The Tube
Location Coding Standards – 2 UK Rail Industry
• Stations: National Location Code (NLC) • Track: Engineers Line Reference (ELR)
• Postcode SW1 2AA • 10 Downing Street, London
Location Coding Standards – 3 UK Postal Services
Who’s information is it anyway?
• Metadata, Metadata, Metadata what is it? what is it about? what can I use it for? who created it? • Needed for interoperability CAD, Survey, GIS, Locations

King’s Cross 50
"The King's Cross project is the largest area of urban redevelopment
in Europe and it will include the largest new street in London since
Kingsway in 1904; the largest public square since Trafalgar Square in
1845.” Richard Godwin
Evening Standard Magazine
An extraordinary part of London is taking shape
50 new buildings, 2 000 new homes, 20 new streets, 10 new public
squares, 67 acres (27 ha) , 45 000 people who live, work and study in
the area

Why does King’s Cross need a GIS?
Communication & Collaboration on projects
Stakeholder and contractor engagement
Time savings for finding, re-use and sharing of data (surveys, CAD, GIS)
Visualising and mapping non-spatial information
Providing context to projects and disparate data layers
Reduce duplication of effort
Compliance / Hand-over: CDM Regulations, H&S etc
Aligns with Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Provide mobile mapping

Vision for King’s Cross GIS 52
GeoEnable defined a vision and strategy: “King’s Cross GIS: Supporting informed, data-driven decision making – though easy-to-use, standardised, streamlined and integrated information” “Everything happens somewhere”

What is Location Intelligence?
“The integration of Geospatial information & technologies with business information, creating location-aware Business Intelligence to enable decision-support.”
56
This is an easier term to communicate to non-GIS professionals
Synonyms: Geospatial BI (GeoBI) and Location Analytics
Focus on visualisation – dashboards, KPIs, maps, diagrams
But, will not address business-wide process integration and
geospatial data interoperability. We still need a ‘road map’.
