2004Osaka Gas Company, Ltd., significantly reduced its operating costs by using GIS to improve its business systems. Using GIS to keep the pipeline network upgraded, the company distributes maps online. The facilities gas data model has been a useful tool. Petrobras UNGN of Brazil designed a GIS solution that supports 2,227 km of new gas pipelines for its expansion project. GIS is integrated with logistics engineering and corporate engineering. Various departments, construction and assembling contractors, and a transportation company access the system. The system offers staff a tool for spatial analysis and route design. Svenska Kraftnät of Sweden uses its GIS, Gisela, to spatially depict the Swedish national grid including substations, lines, and poles. The grid is portrayed in both a geographic and schematic view. The database contains facilities and all landowners and buildings within 100 meters from a line, information that is useful to builders. Gisela provides easy access to drawing .les and component information in asset management. Staff members who once responded to landowners’ inquiries in days now do so in minutes. Every employee has computer access to accurate facility maps and can quickly search the database for the information they need. ESRI technology includes ArcSDE 8.3 and ArcIMS 4. Truckee Donner Public Utility District, located in northern California, continues to extend its GIS applications. These have reduced work process and saved time and money. For example, a Fiber Network Engineering tool estimates costs and work of projects. An outage management system provides outage event information to both customers and employees. Future endeavors will include integration of a work management system with current GIS and billing databases. More 2004 Winners
