Pipeline integrity data management for Sport organisations

How to create outlook signature

hi my name is Tom Coolidge and I Mizuki's pipeline industry solutions manager I am facilitating today's webinar along with my colleague Jeff Allen Jeff is Ezra's global pipeline practice lead on behalf of both of us welcome to our focus on a new era begins in pipeline network data management these are really exciting times for GIS in the pipeline industry and I think you'll find our time together today to be interesting informative and helpful now please welcome my colleague Jeff Allen Jeff thank you Tom thanks everybody for taking some time out of your busy day today this is a really exciting webinar for us this is the the culmination of a lot of vision and a lot of hard work at ESRI I've been here for about four years now and this a lot of this work even predates my coming to ESRI but basically what we're going to show you today is the the sort of the final rendition or the final version of a vision that we had to to bring together a couple of different pieces of the ESRI technology and and bring them together in a seamless fashion for the pipeline industry and and the reason this is so important and the reason that our customers have been asking for us is because as we have regulatory pressures as we have pressures on the business to be able to do more with less the fundamental premise behind that is we have a solid understanding of what the assets are in the field and how they operate so not just points on the map but actually the detailed infrastructure behind that the detailed digital twin of those facilities and how they interplay within each other and so what I'm going to show you today is is how we've been able to substantiate that vision in the answer a platform and really bring that to life but it really started with this vision of being able to have a fully seamless connected network of pipes regardless of where the user was in the supply chain so we have you know different needs in the different parts of the supply chain relative to GIS and data modeling we've got our traditional transmission or midstream segment that has has relied heavily on linear referencing to be able to make their GIS data models work we have the upstream both onshore and offshore gathering lines have a lot of use cases for connectivity and have traditionally migrated their their data into a linear referencing system but maybe have lacked some of the network and connectivity capabilities that they would that they would like and then we have the whole downstream supply chain which has burden been traditionally a network based solution not highly reliant on linear referencing and the things that we do in the midstream and then all along this supply chain as we go inside the fence we've got different needs for modeling pipe and connectivity inside pump stations and inside facilities and as we start integrating the GIS for the larger enterprise systems a lot of the work that we do and a lot of the assets that we map inside the GIS that are inside the fence have connectivity to other other systems in the organization so it's very important that we have this and then again be able to make sure that we can seamlessly manage this not in three or four different systems but in one single Enterprise geo database with all this information at talking together and that's where I'm really gonna strive to show you today so the manifestation of that how we were able to substantiate that in the platform really comes to life and two pieces of technology that we have one is the pipeline referencing our just pipeline referencing which is the linear referencing tool and the other is the utility network which is where we get our connectivity from right so be able to manage all that pipe from the wellhead to the customer meter and everything in between in a single enterprise geodatabase we're now fusing these two technologies together so now at version 10.8 we can have pipeline linear referencing and the utility network now integrated and working together in a single Enterprise geo database so what are the advantages what do we pick up when we if we're a linear referencing organization when we bring in the networking capabilities well obviously the mapping right to be able to go down and map to that next level of detail within within the facilities both in 2d and as you'll see on the far right 3d as well which I'll show you to be able to have alternate views of that data how to be produced schematics and blind diagrams for that data as well through that connectivity model we have enough thing called component views so as I drill in on the GIS data I can open up containers and see more details inside of facilities all connected together run advanced analytics how can I do tracing about isolation tracing and flow and look at pressure systems I can do that through the utility network as well as looking at both our historical and planned views right so this idea of a lifecycle status for these assets so they're either proposed in service or retired and have the whole system react to that lifecycle status ingly so as we make this switch as we start to integrate these new tools there'll be a change in the philosophy of change in the underlying technology that you need to be aware of historically these tools have been based on the client-server architecture so we have a single desktop or a set of desktops that are connecting directly to the underlying enterprise geodatabase and editing data inside of there both ArcGIS pipeline referencing and the utility right now could now work on this Web Services architecture which means two things I open up more accessibility to the underlying data for editing so not only kind can i edit from the desktop but now I can edit from a web application or a connected mobile device but it also brings more power into the server so at that web services architecture now I have a rule base so I can actually add business logic and as that data enters the system I can make sure it validates and and passes a set of rules before it's made available to the rest of the organization now inside of these data models there's going to be a set of core objects or core information models that each of these tools is going to maintain its its portion of the model so for those network utilities we're basically going to be building into the into the model all the fittings under pressure so the junctions the devices the light pipelines themselves the pipe itself is going to be modeled and maintained inside the utility network and then we're going to fuse in with that the information model for the ArcGIS pipeline referencing so if you've been familiar you've seen my presentations on the APR information model you know that we create measure networks for measured routes inside of the geo database using a series of center line objects and they're series of calibration points on top of those so both of these data models on both these information models still pertain to the integrated solution however the big change and this is where the really the magic is is that we replace the generic centerline with the utility network pipe beach pipe line future class so the utility network pipe now becomes a PRS centerline so the cadence will be I'll build my pipes I'll add measures to those pipes and I'll be able to define a network or an engineering route on top of those pipes based on those begin and end measures and then I'll be able to add to that both fittings that are in the utility network and connect it to the model as well as linear vents that will ride on top of that pipe a good example of a linear event might be my class ranges class 1 2 3 4 a good example of a fitting or or a device might be a pipe or a tee or a flange right so that's that's how we're gonna do the sorting hat and make sure everything goes into the model correctly but if you were to open up a pipeline data model like you PDM like the 2018 out of the 2019 Edition soon-to-be 2020 you will find those core information models inside of here right so if you look closely you'll see the pipeline referencing model setting in to inside the integrity you'll see the domain asset sitting inside the oil and gas network and the structure network so these is core information objects sit inside the much larger data model right now our chess pipeline referencing is inside of puds but we're also now working with pods to add utility network functionality to that as well so in the coming releases of pods and the covering releases and the current release of view PBM we have the ability to support those industry standard data models but there's nothing really preventing you from taking these core information models and moving it into your own custom schema so don't feel that to use APR to use the Italian Network I have to move to pod 7 or I have to go move my data to you PDM you can take those core information models and you can build your own data model around them they are just the core objects that that connect pipes together and allow us to do linear referencing dynamic segmentation along those pipeline segments so let me take you through a couple of things that will now I hat now that I've got those two technologies fuse together some of the things that I'll be able to now do inside my linear referencing system the first and I'm kind of mentioned it earlier is to be able to build a rule base or network rules so these rules define what type of objects can connect to each other so what type of junctions connect to other junctions what kind of junctions connect to my pipes what kind of Junction or kind of devices can be contained inside of other devices so a rule might be hey if I'm going from a 12 inch to a 14 inch pipe I need to have a reducer in between where if I can I might have a rule that says you can't put a mainline valve inside of a pump station right these are all business rules that you can then build into the network that allow you to maintain data quality as data goes into the into the gis I talked about this idea of containment right so now I can now drill inside of these objects and do more and more detailed mapping so inside this pump station for example I can go inside and now start mapping out the internals I can still represent that pump station on the maps as a single point but I can open up those single points and then D dive into more details inside of that the other important topic for the utility network that would bring into this is the idea of these terminals right or or they be able to really give intelligence to these devices as we place them so now as a device goes into the GIS it's not just simply a point on the map but it has rules and it has connectivity to how that device fits into the overall network and so some of those rules might be what is the high pressure what is the low pressure so say a compressor or a pump would have those type of of terminals associated with it maybe some are bi-directional like a valve right so you have an inlet port and an outlet port that you would then bolt into the pipe on either side of it some of them might only be able to allow flow in one direction a check valve is a great example right and so when I place a check foul now I can only flow in one side and out the other and product can't flow backwards why is this important as I start building these smart objects into the network I am by in turn defining my characteristics of my network so no longer do I have to maintain a separate ranged event that says these devices are connected together or the pipeline flows in this direction the devices themselves have intelligence and then intelligence then comes through so once I have those devices and once they've wired them to the correct pipelines correctly I can now do some interesting things with what we call a sub Network and a sub network is basically I think of it as a persisted trace it tells me for example if I'm looking at the pressure tear all the things that are connected in and that see the same pressure or if I'm looking at say an isolation tear I'm looking at all the devices and all the pipes that would be connected if I need to shut off a valve - emergency valves what would be isolated for the system so the important part of this is that these sub networks are really driven by the data so as I add a new valve I would create a new isolation network as I add a new pump to the system I would create a new pressure system as I add a new meter I would create an a new system of how those things are connected together so driving from those devices I now have this basically building a hierarchy with inside of my of my GIS and this is how we're going to attack this in the integrated solution as well we're going to use this the the Tilly Network hierarchy and then drill down into the linear referencing routes on top of that hierarchy and then once I have everything connected together then I kind of turn on these advanced analytics I can do tracing I can see exactly what's connected together I could theoretically trace from the wellhead all the way down to the delivery point and see everything connected in between so I have a lot of different use cases that I can use this for I can look at pressure zones look at the maximum minimum operating pressure of all the devices connected to a pressure zone I can see exactly where my isolation zones are whether they vary primary secondary or emergency isolation I could do CP tracing so not only do I see all the devices that are connected together into pressure but I can see all the devices that are cathodic lis protect your what sees the same CP influence zone again based on those objects that I placed in the GIS and then finally be able to look at that in an alternative view right take these networks now take this layout say a pressure system and then generate a diagram from that pressure system and be able to publish that out to the rest of the organization so lots of different layouts and I can apply I can even create my own and give more logical views to what's going on inside the pipeline network so with that I'm going to flip over to my my desktop and we'll take a look at how some of this actually works so this is my combined data model what this is behind the scenes is a single Enterprise geo database happens to be based on on the you PDM structure I've created a set of services and I've published that services out to my portal and then have consumed those services back into my desktop so if I was to look at my connections here you'll see really quickly I have some local files that I'm using for support I've got two Services connections that I'm primarily using one service has all my combined utility network APR layers that I'm going to use so this has the network's the pipes devices and the pipelines and then the other one has those linear events and I just happen to break these out into two services you could have them in one but this is a service that I'm going to use with the event editor and supply information from a linear aspect back on top of the model but both these services are published out through the our enterprise server and they're pointed back to the same enterprise geo database so in this particular example what I did is I started first by building the pipes as I said the basis of this model is going to be the pipes themselves and so what I've done is basically the blue lines there are the pipe lines from the utility network and the pipe lines are broken into a different couple of different components these happen to be the transmission lines here but I've also got some gathering pipe pipe line up in the north and some distribution pipe down here my my tank farm so now what we're seeing is the the the what we call the acid group and the asset type inside the utility network so I can split my pipeline down by by how they're how they operate but the second thing I did is I started layering in some some of those objects or some of those devices along the line and the first thing I did is I I wanted to create my systems and in this case I have a rule that says that they start of a system is where my meters are located so I define my meter locations I've given them a name I've connected them to the pipe on either side and once I did that the system automatically found the upstream and downstream meters and built that system layer for me so now if I look at my sub Network I can actually see the system's so you can see those lines broken apart and if I open up the table of contents you'll see them a little more clearly here so you can see I've got them named by how they flow from from each system to each system broken down so Afghan if I was to add a new meter device halfway through this line this system hierarchy would automatically change and adjust based on where my meters are located now from there I want to take it down to the next layer so I'm gonna loop it up my devices here the next device that I created along the line where these pumps so my pumps are now going to describe where my pressure systems are so everything between pumps is connected together I've defined each of these pumps to have a name and how they're connected to the downstream section and so when I go back to my hierarchy when I would go back to my son Network I never look at my pressure systems I can now see now another logical breakdown again as I add new pumps they'll be contained within a system and each will have its own pressure system associated with it and then as you can guess the next layer down if I go back to my devices and turn on my valves are going to be my isolation sections so now that I can see all my valves along the line I can see and I define those valves as being isolation valves and let's just zoom in a little clearer I can now see all the sections along the line that would be isolated if any of these valves were turned off right so this is a a summary object of all the pipes and all the fittings underneath that are connected between these main line valves and this is really where we we have the jumping-off point to start the linear referencing system because these are all connected this system is fully connected behind the scenes but now I want to define a linear referencing system between my mainline valves it's a way that we did that as we went back to the actual pipes themselves and if I open up the linear referencing group layer here I can turn on my engineering networks let's go ahead and turn on some labels and I can see now that I have an engineering network associated with each of these mainline block valves to mainline block valves now obviously over time as I do reroutes and replacements and repairs I might have more than one line or more than one route inside of here but right now I'm zeroing at these mainline valves and I have a continuous measure that runs out to the next valve right so those are my my mainline valve sections if i zoom in a little closer here and turn on my measures you you can see the engineering measures on top of those lines so here's my mainline valve I turn on my calibration points you can see the zero plus zero zero of this route in the back station 2385 of the previous route so now these these lines this route line here has been calibrated to the underlying pipes so instead of having that simple pipe centerline underneath now I select this this is actually my pipe layer from my utility network and if I'd open it up I would see all the attributes about that pipe layer whether it's pickable or not what the diameter is you can see operating pressures GPS accuracy these are all the information coming from the pipe underlying pipe itself and then with the linear referencing system what's said on top of that with my linear referencing system set I can now add in all my linear referencing layers so these are all the layers that are tied to measures along that system if I turn this on in this area I should be able to see some some d-o-t class turn off some mislabeling so I've got a class three area this is a linear event now sitting on top of those pipes within that area that is defined on these by it's from and to measure Elan that pipeline so now what I want to do is I want to show you sort of how these things are connected together right so I talked about those pumps and I talked about those devices let me move back here two to one these pump stations and take a little closer look so remember because my linear referencing system is is set up to live on top of those pipes I can control where my linear referencing system stops and starts so here's a very simple station I have a linear referencing system but I've got some additional pipe here that is outside my traditional linear referencing system so we would consider this pipe inside the fence so I can still manage and model my pipe inside the fence I can choose where I want to start and end my linear referencing system in this case we started it ended at the valve and then I have some other objects within the station in this case this pump but I want to make sure this is all connected together so one of those things that I can do in the utility network is connect objects together so if I just select this pump here and show what its kind of a-- t is you can see the low pressure in remember i said there was terminals low pressure of this pump is tied to that weld there and now the high pressure out of this pump is tied to this weld here so now i have linear referencing my pipe i go in and out of the pump from low pressure to high pressure I can also see that on the map so there's my associate what we call our association view so I can actually connect these objects together and have that fully traceable system going in and out of that and that's that model you another example I go to another station down along the line here maybe I have a little bit more detail of what's going on site inside this station but I really don't know how it's all laid out geographically so here I've got a pump station so I've got a pump station object and then I've got kind of a schematic view of all that's inside of here so I've got two main line valves I've got two meters I've got two pumps and again I've now wired all that together so I have my traceability through this station so I come in through the tea I split off to this branch here that goes through this bump and then downstream from this lateral and then through this tea in this set of devices onto this line down through here and again if I turn on those engineering measures all right you can see where I've got my engineering Network stopping and starting here so this is a zero for this line this is a zero for this line and this is the ending station here all connected all discoverable and all contained with inside of this of this container and if I want to sort of clean up the map a little bit I can hide the contents of the container what that will do is use a display filter to just show the point event and not all the details inside so now my map has a very clean view of what's going on inside this facility I don't have to sort of on the mapping side show all the details inside but they're all there they're all discoverable and they're all connected now my third example really gets into the details of what we've been after is how does this look inside of a sort of a fully cooked facility right so here I have all the details of what's inside of this pump station even in the details of what's inside this building here so you can see what I've done in the linear referencing system is I've created those linear referencing system to run in and out of my my my launcher receiver assembly so I've actually created the zero point to be the the end cap on the receiver and the both at the end end of this line to be the end cap and the zero to be here but if I want to look at that from sort of an a pressure and isolation viewpoint let me turn the pipelines off so you can see from an isolation viewpoint my Network stopped at these clothes valves I can also look at the pressure through inside of this system so what sees the same pressure in and out of here what sees the same let's see what's what's belonging to the system so the devices now control how this looks inside of these these stations you you you you I turned that linear referencing layer off so now I've got all my pipe I've got my engineering Network inside of here with my calibration points you can also see I've got some details inside of this facility so again I can then take a look at what's going on inside of here I can enter this container and take a look at the more details inside and again this is going to expose all the items that I have inside of this container and again I can see all the fittings and valves and how all the hell they're all connected together now these are not in the linear referencing system so I just basically was able to draw these pipes with footage and connectivity inside of the station without having to create a false route or create station values this is all sitting in the pipe layer but off of the linear referencing system and so where did this information come from well because I drew this facility this detailed facility in three dimensions I can pull up this data inside a pro as well and see this all in three dimensions so now you're seeing those same objects the red lines are the transmission lines the blue or the station piping inside of this facility and if I go and take a look at what's inside of this building I can kind of peel back the surface of this building and see all the facilities inside let me just turn off the surface here you now you can see all those detailed fittings and that's how I was able to build the utility network inside this facility so now all those pipeline and devices that I have in the utility Network sit directly on top of the of the objects inside of of the the 3d scene here so really granular I can really get down into the weeds of what's going on inside the station and see what's going on take a look at those objects you you you you you so now let me show you how we actually build one of these one of these networks so I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to my gathering system and we're going to show you how we build a pipe up there you you so you can see you've already started building out some of this gathering system so this is not linear reference these green pipes are just in the pipe layer inside of the utility network right so these are all connected I can trace through all these objects and trace into the transmission line and if we get a little closer into the end of the transmission line here if I just turn on those associations again you can see how all the endpoints of those lines are all connected back to the start of the transmission system go through their meters through their pump and down into the transmission system I can see the the where the engineering measures start for my transmission system see it starts here at this mainline valve there's my zero point so I've got some some pipe here inside this facility down into the transmission line what if I want to add to this gathering system well if I just want to add to the to the pipe to the to the network I can simply bring those objects in from another layer and in this case I've got a shape file then I receive for this gathering system and you can see here I've got this sort of mainline trunk line that's in this gathering system so I'm going to go ahead and bring this mainline trunk line over I'm going to add it to the utility network so I'm just going to go to the edit toolbar I'm going to go ahead and select that line and I'm just going to copy you paste that into my gathering pipe layer you and now if I just turn those supporting layers off it clear I've got that new piece of pipe from that shape file in the utility network go ahead and select it and set some attributes on it the one that's really important is it's already in the asset group which is guideline gathering but I'm gonna give it an asset type let's say it's coated steel and then I could go through and fill out all the attributes about this pipe OD wall thickness granya faster grade all the business objects are associated with that I want to do that for this example we'll just leave it at the basic piece of pipe but it's now inside the utility network if I go ahead and validate that we'll see if we have any errors on that pipe should come back cleanly validating that apology for that line and it's successful so that line is now in the network but it's not connected if you look at the end point of this line here it comes up just a little shorter where that connects into the rest of the network so I can do a couple things I could add a piece of pipe here I can move this vertex down and connect it or maybe I can add a couple of objects here to to to show you that connectivity so a little I'll do that I'm going to go back here and let's create a tea and again I'm going to create a metal three-way tea and I'm going to put it right here on that pipe and let's add a weld at the end of that line you you put that there except that just do a quick check here make sure that validates correctly looks good so I've got two devices now sitting on the line one thing you notice is I didn't have to break the pipeline to put that T there so junctions can sit on top of the pipe itself it doesn't have to naturally break the pipe and this well that's at the end and then I have a rule in the database that says I can connect the a weld fitting to a T so I'm going to do that really quickly I'm going to go into the modify here modify connectivity you can see the weld is automatically selected it was a selected object I'm going to add this T as my Junction apply that and now if I look at the connectivity in the model I can see that those are together and if I really wanted to double-check it I could do a quick connected trace by just adding a start point here on this line and then I'll just run a connected trace on this really quickly you you you there we go so you can see that it's highlighted everything that that that that's connected to this starting point and if i zoom out you really see the power behind this it's connected to that line which is connected to this point over here which then gets into my transmission system and then all the way down so on that line is now fully connected in the model now obviously I can run different traces like isolation traces to stop at the next pump or stuck to stop within the mainline valve but this shows you how quickly I can see that everything in the model is is fully connected together so that gets me into my pipe so that not my pipe is connected it's created it's in the utility network but maybe this is a trunk line so maybe I really do want linear referencing to happen on this line as well so how do I do that okay so I have my pipe my pipe is my centerline for linear referencing one requirement is I do need to have my begin and end measures on my pipes to begin the process so in this simple example what I'm going to do is I'm just going to figure out how long this pipe is so I'll just go and US feet and just grab that objects so that pipe I had it is 104 9 9 6 long so I'm going to use that as my my begin or my end measure for this particular section of pipe how do I do that I'm just going to select on that pipe object I'm gonna go into the attribute table and inside of the pipe down below here you're gonna find that begin and end measure I think I'm going to use to create this route from so remember that the initial calibration points are going to come from my pipes so let's put in my engineering from measure as 0 and my engineering to measure is going to be 104 9 9 6 apply now I have my pipeline centerline I have my beginning that measures set now I can go to my location referencing tool I'm going to hit create I'm going to select that centerline there it is I'm going to tell it I want it to be part of my engineering Network and you can see it's automatically reached into that pipe record and pull up my beginning and measure my tell it this route is available today I'm going to give it a line name and a route name you and now that is created the linear referencing system on top of that networked pipe so now I can use that network pipe if i zoom in here you'll see it's completely measured so I've got all my measures you can see how my vertices are all now measured this particular example I happen to show every 500 foot tick along the line now if I then wanted to add further calibration points to this line I could just do that by using the standard location referencing tools so let's just kind of add a quick point here at this vertex and you let's call that 68 850 I'll run that and if you watch those station ticks you'll see everything shifted over now I have those new measures on that route there's that new calibration point it's now from here I'd go ahead and and if I was an inversion I would save this version reconcile it or or just pull up this data in my event editor you you you so now that I've had that line in my in my system now and now shows up as a new route inside my event editor and I could go ahead and start adding all my linear events along that route inside of here let's just do a real quick one you let's add a quick point event let's say an inspection note and let's put it this measure here you you you see that and now I happen to a new event on that line I could go back into pro now refresh my version and be able to see that that line on the event so that's how we would add add events on top of the linear referencing system if I want to add other fittings like flanges and valves I could just do that directly here in the utility network now the last example I wanted to show you this is great at a very high level you know I have one big piece of pipe but what if I really wanted to get very detailed on my mapping what if I wanted to really get to that next level and map the individual joints of pipe from my system so in this example what I'm going to do is I have another area where I did an as-built for a small reroute you so this particular example what I did is I brought in a number of survey points so what these survey points represented was the individual individual shots on the individual welds from the surveyor all right so I've got my eight individual joints here these happen to be 80-foot joints if I just select one of these survey points and kind of look at the attributes you can see I've got the x-ray number I've got the engineering station of that particular point what it is so there's a 0 plus 1 plus 94 2 plus 78 so those are the individual points that I received from the surveyor with their measures I simply took those points and use them to connect the dots so again this is the pipe layer so I'm seeing the individual pipes now or the individual joints of pipe along that segment and if I click on the attribution you can see I've got all my attributes filled out there it's pickable what type of scene type it has you know all that same stuff that I filled in at the very high level I can do it on these individual segments but now what I want to do is I want to use these individual segments to really build up my route in this area so let me go ahead and shut off a couple of lines here and I clear that selection just move this over a little bit so there I've got all my individual remember I've got all my individual sticks of pipe there I'm just going to go ahead and select those I'm gonna drop out the existing pipe and I want that I just want my new pipe again I'm going to go back to location referencing I'm gonna hit the create tool again and this time I'm going to have all 67 pieces of pipe selected so now it's going to go down through and it's showing me the connectivity of all those joints of pipes so there's about 87 different joints in there all connected together I'm going to go and put this in my engineering Network it's on igano automatically got to find my begin station in my end station for this segment again let's give this a date you and let's run that and I've got one pipe out there that didn't match so let's try and see where that is this is what's it's going to do as a QA QC tool for you you I'm just going to look at a couple of these pipes here leave it's right this area you so I'm looking at my beginning station you you you so I'd find my beginning station where it didn't match and I've actually got this in a version let me just switch to it you you so I'd fix this in my version you you so I find when that mismatches from the surveyor I had fixed that up you so let me just make that selection again you you you you get those pipes selected I'll go back to the create tool and we'll see all those vertices this one now has that n station cleaned up go ahead and put on my engineering Network you you there it completed successfully and now I have my linear referencing so now you can see where every every weld is now I have a control point or calibration point along that route I've got all those pipes underneath all tied together inside of a single single route record inside of that line now when we think about that in terms of of integration with other systems I now have every weld place along that route I have a route object I can go in and start say mapping anomalies my welds and weld and offset I can also now go ahead and start putting my other fittings on this line my bends and my my main line bends and my valves and all the things as I place objects in the utility network they'll automatically pick up the stationing from the underlying linear referencing system and as I add objects in a linear reference a system to automatically be connected to the underlying pipes inside the utility network so we fit a lot into the demo today there's a lot more to show you we can we also have sort of the schematic views that we really didn't get to today that we can talk about as well there's a lot of going on the utility network this full demo takes me about an hour and a half most days but this is really showing off the power of how we have both these systems connected together and running inside that single Enterprise to your database Tom do we have any questions out there and then we got about 10 minutes left yeah well many thanks Jeff I mean just hole a whole lot of really really good points in the demos I mean they were really really very impactful there's also a lot of questions sure more questions than we possibly can answer here in the time remaining but let's take a run at some of them there were a number of questions about could you elaborate on the use of these capabilities with pods you want to take that one absolutely so right now we're I'm heading up a working group with inside of pods and basically what we need to do is we need to get the utility Network information model or structure into the pods database so we can then support all this networking capabilities so we hope to have that done in the next couple of months six months eight months max and that will allow you to have this combined editing experience inside of pods as well as we we have it inside a you PDM today okay so ESRI really is Agnes which I think was the point of your one slide correct correct correct yeah as long as we have that basic underlying structure whether it's pause or you PDM the same functionality exists okay and how about smaller organizations that use file geodatabases well these capabilities work for them almost the utility network at 10-8 now supports a file geodatabase APR still for creating routes and calibrating routes still uses a or can use a file geodatabase the piece of the puzzle that we would be missing would be the event editor like placing those linear events and point events along the routes that actually requires the portal you can actually wire that up to an enterprise to a file geodatabase and get it running obviously would be single user mode so it is possible but that event pieces is the is the kind of trickier config and if anybody has that use case simply reach out to us we can give you more details on how to make that work okay a number of questions about Z values you know how they're handled by these capabilities yep so basically the pipe itself can have X Y or Z so in this particular example here and you can actually see it I didn't make Z's for everything my Z's for my regular pipe still at zero but this pump station we we drew at at elevations so that when I overlaid it with the imagery in the surface then everything lines up correctly so anything in the model can be drawn with XY or XY & z and then measure is the fourth component that can be layered onto that so Z's available throughout both the utility Network and a PR director and it really will what's controlling the Z value is the the pipes that's where it all starts right so my vertices on my pipe now have Z values and then as I then I then add measures to those vertices I pick up that dimension so XYZ and M for all pipes got it thank you I know you mentioned we didn't really get to the schematic capabilities of the two but we actually have a number of questions about schematics diagrams could you give a brief answer and maybe we can follow through with more later then yeah absolutely so so what we what we what we did here is we actually use that pressure system so I simply did a trace on a pressure system which then selected all the all the devices within within these two pump stations and back here inside of oops backs back here inside of the utility network once I've selected those objects I can then create a new diagram and then inside the diagram pane I have a whole bunch of different options of how they get how they get laid out within the one thing the tool I just happen to use a straight line diagram here what I can then label you know I could label pressures I could label the have IDs or pump IDs along this schematic and then share that out with the organization okay cool and you mentioned you PDM 2020 any idea when that will be released so the work is done the date the the solutions team is now taking all the input from all our customers myself Tom DeWitt and sort of bundling that into the the the updated data model we had targeted around the UC time frame I know kovat is kind of put us a little bit behind on some of this but certainly I would hope my mid to end summer will have the 2020 model not a significant change to the structure so if you're looking at you PDM in 2019 2020 is going to be I consider it more of a maintenance update where we're sort of adding and tweaking the model with major changes to the infrastructure to support this have already been done in the 2019 model okay ili data could you briefly talk about how that can be used in the network absolutely so the way we kind of see the ili data obviously now that I have each of those individual welds and weld locations as I showed in that rewrite example or if I just have my major segments we would foresee those linear objects for the ili all being linear events along those lines so the il I ranges the anomalies the the groups the reference markers those would all be points along the line if I just jump over to this sample really quickly I have some il I data loaded in here on the linear referencing system and I can just basically overlay that linear referencing data onto the line so here you can see all that I li data lined up on top of that sitting on top of that pipe in the utility network aligned to the align to the AP are superb thanks Jeff well I do want to be mindful of the time we are very very close to the top of the hour so let me please thank everybody for joining in today we really do appreciate your interest and your would willingness to share some of your time with us unfortunately we didn't get to all of the questions but we do have them and someone from ESRI will be following through with you to answer as many of those as we can so thank you again for joining us and have a great day bye now [Music] you
