The focus of this powerpoint presentation is on a
distribution system piping network, including the following:
the type and level of detail needed in the
hydraulic model, and impact of the hydraulic model
structure on model maintenance efforts;
attributes and topology features, and
data update procedures that should be included in the
GIS to allow cost-effective coordination with
hydraulic modeling; and,
tools that are available to perform cost-effective
updates. Three examples are provided and include the following: Example 1 - Skeletonized Model
2008 update of 2001 model (AutoCad Base); Example 2 - Reduced/Skeletonized Model
2008 Update of 2005 Model (GIS Base); and, Example 3 - All-pipes Model
GIS with Geometric Network. Presentation recommendations and conclusions include the following:
develop geometric network and implement topology rules
into GIS;
establish a process whereby errors identified during the
modeling process are reported back to, and corrected, in
the GIS;
include a date stamp in GIS for latest edit/entry;
existing off-the-shelf modeling software maintenance tools
can yield powerful, cost effective model maintenance
strategies; and,
all-pipes models with one-to-one relationship to GIS are
expected to best facilitate model maintenance.
