Utilities

GIS has wide applications in electricity, gas, water supplies, telecommunications etc. We can use the electric facilities database (EFD) for responding to storm-caused outages and can notify the respective company of the outage and quickly restore service.

Gas source and physical pipeline management depend on GIS for every detail from stations and pipe pressures to valves and pipe diameter, outage management, emergency response, gas distribution, network operation, planning and research, sales etc.

GIS provides telecommunication business with many solutions such as analyzing relationships among signal coverage, test results, trouble tickets, customer inquiries, geocoding antennas, analyzing service areas, geocoding clients, and correlating equipment requirements to service area demand.

In water supplies, the high-resolution maps detail the location of its underground pipelines, watersheds, reservoirs, hydroelectric facilities etc.
