Seems like Esri #IMGIS2024 was not just busier than before - but full of higher quality interactions for us at Locusview. No more are we hearing “What’s this #DCM thing about anyway?” Utilities understand DCM, it resonates and they see us providing value to electric and gas utilities. Special thanks to Jenny Burgess from Dominion Energy and Rise Ficken from Black Hills Energy for their excellent presentations!

We are thrilled to announce that Dave Magee has joined our team at Locusview! Dave has a GIS degree and has been selling software and related GIS services to gas and electric utilities throughout his career. For the past sixteen years, he has been selling ArcFM for Schneider Electric. The first eight years of his tenure at SE focused on selling ArcFM internationally, while the past eight years have centered on sales in North America. His sales career success is complemented by a collaborative effort from professionals in Product Development, Sales Engineering, Implementation Specialists, Senior Management, and countless other specialized Subject Matter Experts who have contributed over the years. He is looking forward to engaging with the Locusview team and structuring sales strategies that leverage the expertise of the company's talent to solve customer challenges. In his spare time, Dave is an accomplished cartoonist and wildlife artist. He has a wonderful family and enjoys hosting family and friends during holidays and special events. He loves to travel with his family, but they all love peace and quiet when they are at their home in rural New Hampshire. Welcome aboard, Dave!

Exciting news! Our team is headed to the 2024 AGA Operations Fall Committee Meetings & Workshops in Oklahoma. We're looking forward to great learning opportunities and connecting with both new and familiar faces. See you there! #Locusview #AGA #DCM #Networking

Helper is a hidden gem feature in the Locusview mobile application that enables field crews to access supporting information without cluttering up the main screen. Users can click on a Helper button to get access to: - Task-specific instructions from an operating manual or manufacturer installation guide - Pictures, charts, and drawings with more detailed information - Training reminders and tips - Safety bulletins - Additional details and example about what data needs to be collected - Instructions in another language One utility added an image from the company’s procedures to provide guidance on how to enter the Class Location data. Another utility adds detailed instructions on pass/fail criteria for a quality inspection to promote consistency among inspectors. Features like Helper are the key to leveraging mobile technology to employer field crews and inspectors with access to information to increase productivity and improve workmanship quality.

What are the benefits of using high accuracy GPS during digital as-builting? Excavation damage remains one of the most significant threats to underground gas and electric infrastructure. Inaccurate locating and mapping is a significant contributing factor to excavation damage according to the Common Ground Alliance’s Dirt Report. Digital as-builting with sub-foot accurate GPS creates spatial data for GIS to enable future one-call operations to utilize the GPS data for locating. Black Hills Energy and Puget Sound Energy publish as-built data to a GIS viewer within 24 hours to provide accurate data for one-call locators and emergency responders. Reducing the risk of excavation damage to newly installed facilities by providing accurate and timely data in a GIS viewer is a powerful way to leverage high-accuracy GPS data. Digital as-builting with sub-foot GPS also provides significant efficiencies in closing out construction projects. Technicians no longer need to manually create point and line features in GIS. Instead, assets mapped in the field with GPS and attributes populated with data from the barcode are delivered directly into a staging environment. Technicians review and approve the data, connect it to existing assets in GIS, and then publish to the production environment. Other benefits of high quality maps include: - Quickly locate assets during emergencies - Identify the precise location of recalled assets without unnecessary digging - Locate valves and manholes that may have been paved over - Perform designs without field verification visits

We presented at SGA's Operations Conference this week in Nashville, TN - Digital Construction for Risk Reduction and Regulatory Compliance. We propose that digital construction technologies can ensure that the correct materials are installed by the correct people using the correct procedures.
