Trimble SiteVision for Utilities - Use Cases
Electric and Natural Gas utilities can view 3D utility models and assets in true-to-life scale, in the context of their existing surroundings — from any angle or position — for better understanding and communication
CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND CREW PLANNING Enhance customer engagement and crew planning and collaboration |
EXCAVATION WORK Quickly and easily identify and mark buried infrastructure prior to excavation work |
BURIED INFRASTRUCTURE Visualize buried infrastructure for identification, inspection and maintenance work |
OVERHEAD AND CORRIDOR PLANNING Improve overhead and corridor planning, analysis and coordination |
DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR CYCLES Perform damage assessment and accelerate repair cycles |
PROPERTY BOUNDARIES, EASEMENTS, RIGHT-AWAYS Confirm property boundaries, easements and right-aways for improved project planning, design and coordination |
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Optimize vegetation management by bringing in LiDAR data and point cloud models to view vegetation encroachment from fall-in to clearance issues and remediate on the spot |
STREET LIGHT PLACEMENT Visualize and confirm light configuration placement incorporating manufacturer photometric data to confirm accurate pole and street light height and tilt makeup prior to construction |
SUBSTATION DESIGN Validate substation design and placement. Identify site clash with outbuildings, trees, rocks and other obstacles before construction crews arrive on site. |
Benefits
|
Enhance customer communications, engagement and collaboration
Improve crew coordination and planning View possible conflicts with buildings, trees, rightaways, easements, property lines, and assets of other utilities early in the project before construction crews, material and equipment arrive on site Significantly reduce job rework and repeat site visits Quickly perform damage assessment to accelerate construction and repair times |
