Utilizing GIS

!  Engineering/Right of Way !  Field Operations !  Marketing/Customer Care !  USA Locates !  Regulatory Reporting

GIS Work Flow

Post as built drawings To base maps

Add data to SQL

Link records to

AutoCAD objects

Design in AutoCAD Map 3D

Previous GIS Setup

!  AutoCAD Map3D !  Link Templates – data stored in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 !  3rd Party Application CHRM Oasis FM – AutoCAD linking tools and

database front end.

FME

MS SQL Spatial

Web Based GIS Enhanced Spatial Querying Abilities

Uses for FME

!  Nightly data conversion to SQL Spatial !  Conversion of data to KML for special projects !  Conversion of data to DWG for mobile solution !  Data clean-up on AutoCAD drawings !  Ad-hoc GIS queries

Advantages to data in MSSQL

!  Centralized location for web-based maps (Mapguide)

!  FDO ready format for GIS Analysis in AutoCAD Map3D (Buffering, Overlay, Theme etc)

!  Ability to do spatial queries within MSSQL !  Spatially driven MS SQL Reports (SSRS)

Spatially Driven SQL Reports

!  Utilize spatial data to drive SSRS reports !  Reports that allows end user to run a query

without realizing they are doing GIS

SSRS Report #1 – Lines by Serving Area

FME as a your GIS tool box!

!  Data maintained in AutoCAD !  Stored in SQL !  Analyzed with FME

Grant Applications

!  Funding for broadband projects !  Application required Maps and GIS data

submission !  Some data required spatial queries

Customizing Census Block Layer

Creating Buffered Project Layer

Overlaying Census Block and Zip Codes on Subscribers

Impact of proposed sites on subscriber broadband availability

!  0-2.5kf – 50mb !  2.5- 5kf – 30mb !  5-7.5kf – 20mb !  7.5-10kf – 10mb !  10-15kf – 6mb !  15-20kf -3mb !  >20kf – Not Available

Time Savings with FME

Using GIS tools in AutoCAD Map 3D (2 hours and 25 minutes) !  5 minutes to create each

band (about 16 bands total) 1 and half hours total

!  Another 2-3 minutes for each overlay (additional 45 minutes)

Using GIS tools in FME (5 minutes and 5 seconds)

!  Create workspace - 5 minutes

!  Run workspace – 5 seconds/band
