GIS Approach at EGD

Leverage EGIS as a platform

• Identify new business units/groups and their common tasks that can benefit from a map-based application

• Create lightweight, focused maps and apps to support business processes

• Rapid deployment

•Conduct POC/ Pilot to establish business benefits

•Shorter implementation durations: 10-15 weeks turnaround time for new applications

Examples - Customer Connections WorkSuite

• Improve access to Information – one stop shop

o Provide required work and asset information in one system

o Track work history for traceability and easy hand-off

• Improve Work Flow

o Manage and communicate work electronically

o Eliminate the need for paper forms and documents

o Minimize visits to the back office – 80% of time spent in the field with potential customers

• Leverage our Enterprise Data

o Eliminate duplicate entry for data that already exists in other systems

o See location and status of new sales leads and potential opportunities

o Anticipate & mitigate issues by reviewing land & environmental features prior to site visits

o Plan future work load and expansion based on sales leads trend/demand

Electronic Field Devices are installed at regulator stations to monitor pressure of gas distribution network. When pressure conditions outside of the defined norm are met, Measurement & Regulation is dispatched to:•Investigate Alarm•Resolve Operational Issues

In addition, M&R is responsible for the regular maintenance of regulators throughout the Enbridge Gas franchise area.

Field Data Capture using GPS GPS based field data collection initiated in 2012 - 2013

o Capture location of EGD gas network assets and land base featureso 3G enabled Wireless data download and upload facilitieso Aimed at removing the paper based processes

Trimble GeoExplorer6000 GeoXH

EGIS functionality extended to Trimble devices

oTrimble devices use ArcGIS Mobile applications for data captureoUser friendly field application with intuitive user interfaceoUsers gets the same look and feel in the field as for other EGIS applications oRedline (field updates) capability to capture gas network featuresoData integrated into GIS, associating location and assetsoNew Construction, Maintenance and Damage PreventionoMoving towards to Electronic As-Laid

So What …….Link to Business Benefits

o GIS implementation at EGD is helping business with the Core EGD Objectives:o Safetyo Customer Experienceo Productivity

Since the implementation of EGIS the number of users has gone up by more than 25% with several new business units now using GIS as their core system. The factors which have helped this are: o Easier adoption of new applications by the users – Map based application are simpler to useo Easier Deployment Options – Rapid development and quick deployment facilitated by ESRI platform

Business Units are realizing operational efficiency and productivity gains from GIS by using spatial business intelligence in the decision making process
