ENERGEX in Production with ArcFM™ for Gas Network Management

Fort Collins, CO -- ESRI Australia has recently completed implementation of Miner & Miner’s ArcFM Solution to help manage ENERGEX’s gas distribution network. The ArcFM Solution aligns with ENERGEX’s business drivers to implement information technology solutions requiring little or no customization.

The project consisted of configuring the standard ArcFM gas data model to meet ENERGEX’s gas business requirements and migrating existing data into an ArcSDE geodatabase built from the resulting model.

ENERGEX will next extend the solution with Designer, the design component of the ArcFM Solution. Designer will provide ENERGEX an integrated environment for preparing design drawings, job cost estimates, and material schedules. Once fully implemented, Designer will also provide for a workflow management module tracking network changes from design to as-built.

ENERGEX's gas and electricity networks span more than 25,000 square kilometers throughout southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales including the dynamic growth regions of Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast. In the past 10 years, the population has dramatically increased in these areas with a consequent rise in overall energy demand.

“We’re looking forward to continuing work with ENERGEX and building on our long-term partnership,” says ESRI Australia CEO, Brett Bundock. “ArcFM has enabled ENERGEX to migrate their existing gas GIS to the most modern utilities-focused GIS solution available in the market.”
