Time for a New ADAC?

CAD-GIS INTEGRATION WORKSHOP NOTES GITA Sydney 11 Nov 2008 Table 1 Design data: Data distribution to design Data from design into GIS Paper still used Make design data GIS ready Schematic: Design vs. GIS Standards for visualisation Can we define schematic rules? If not manual data management Hand drawn – Visio, PPT! GIS data – Design, So many formats for data

CAD-GIS INTEGRATION WORKSHOP NOTES GITA Sydney 11 Nov 2008 Table 2 Lack of Integration: Electronic paper Re-work Use of contractor, tool of choice Field force capability; IT, skill Field force “confidence in data” -> Feedback Designed vs. As-built; responsibility? Individual, corporate $-value to executive management Cost up front vs. lifecycle Outage management -> Process Start with the End in Mind

Extension Design – Top of Management Tool

Variation in accuracy of cadastre

Mandate software

Efficient design results in quicker payment to designers

Differences between engineering design and design layout

Design data accuracy is major driver
