On May 25, Governor Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-167 into law. This bill included the creation of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission, effective August 8, 2018. The ratification of this law has started transitioning tier two members of the Utility Notification Center of Colorado, or Colorado 811, into tier one members. Safety and accuracy are some of the most challenging issues damage prevention professionals face. While the law will improve communication between all parties involved once it’s implemented, damage prevention work will drastically change over the next two years of transition. Join Brian Collison as he gives an overview of the changes, how tier two members can ease their transition to tier one and how this will affect anyone who works within right of ways in the state of Colorado.

GISCO Fall 2018: Colorado 811: Changes and Challenges – Brian Collison
- 1. Colorado 811: Changes and Challenges A Damage Prevention Perspective
- 3. Colorado SUE Law This bill included the creation of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission. Biggest change: Tier Two members must transition into Tier One, get an exemption or opt out. Home Rule cities affected and will have to change
- 4. New membership structure is mandatory Existing Tier Two members must convert their membership. Will start paying transaction fee January 2021 Home Rule cities can opt out, but then need to create their own enforcement of the law by creating a ticketing solution. Most Relevant Changes to SUE law:
- 5. First Things First Change is Hard!
- 6. Insight from an Energy and Management Expert: The Chinese have a word that means both crisis and opportunity. That word is Crisitunity -H Simpson
- 7. Home Rule Cities' Crisitunity Challenges Change in Practices Change in Culture Additional costs Opportunity Utilizing GIS to collaborate in and outside of your organization Creating partnership with all parties that are working toward the same goals Continue to improve in reducing Risk and Asset Damages
- 8. Utilizing GIS Data to Overcome and Change 2 Organization’s Damage Prevention Problems and Solutions
- 9. 2.2 Million customers for Electricity 1.3 Million customers for Natural Gas 2000 miles of large gas transmission 19,000 miles of smaller dist. mains Similar Challenges
- 10. A lot of construction and replacement going on Experienced 900 line strikes last year Similar Challenges
- 11. DTE is leveraging their GIS data to work with construction and excavation teams Utilizing Augmented Reality, DTE has created utility liasons to go to work sites to collaborate and help crews know where assets are located Similar Opportunities
- 12. Whiting Petroleum Headquartered in Denver Operate Oil Fields in North Dakota, Montana and Colorado Operate their own one call department, handled 15,000 calls in 2017 More information can be found at www.whiting.com.
- 13. Home Rule cities face challenges that are similar to what Whiting Petroleum faces: Communication with excavators about assets on job sites Tracking changes the contractors make Timely information about their job sites reported back to 811
- 14. It was difficult to communicate accurate information with third party contractors about locate transactions. It was hard to track locationally transactions by job site. The May Ticket example. Challenges = Opportunities: Work Smarter
- 15. Whiting’s Solution – ArTMS Ticket Managment Excavators 811 Dispatch Companies Locators Geocoded Ticket Management System Connects all parties in one place - with one tool Easy to reference and coordinate connects in the office or the field. Maps and GIS feature services are visible in Augmented Reality, make it easier to understand and communicate changes on a site by site basis.
- 16. Benefits Work is location-based instead of activity-based. Every step of the process improves the data, making the job site safer for future work. Access to the site visuals makes each step more productive. Reporting in AR reveals: 3D relationships unseen before Relationship between Locate and Underground Data Real world elements that effect how the work is done. (e.g. obstacles, ground quality, etc.)
- 17. Desktop Mobile AR App
- 18. Two Dimensional Maps… …in a Three Dimensional World
- 19. Communication was the biggest problem damage prevention specialists faced. This tool connects: Locates to 811 Transactions Excavator to Locators Companies to 811 Bottom line: More Efficient and Safer Connecting all the Dots
- 20. Putting it All Together Takeaways and Wrap up
- 22. Argis Solutions, Inc. Long history of working with ArcGIS technology (20+ years) Deep understanding of what can and cannot be done Keys to Integration Strategically extend the platform (Platform First Mentality) Seamlessly integrate (Authentication, Authorization, COTS Apps) Leverage existing hardware (Mobile Devices & GPS Receivers) Ability to use data as it is now (Out of the Box)

Editor's Notes
- Digging is a dangerous business. - Lots on the line if you have a line strike. - Laws governing what happens in a right of way area are changing. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/colorado/articles/2018-01-08/colorado-debates-new-gas-line-rules-after-fatal-explosion Terrible tragedy in Firestone, CO in May 2017. Energy companies, local governments and advocacy groups will debate proposed new rules for oil and gas pipelines in Colorado after the fatal explosion last year blamed on leaking gas. “Shortly after the explosion, some state officials argued that Colorado should compile a map of all flow lines in the state and make it available online. But Gov. John Hickenlooper decided against that in August, citing concerns about security and theft. Instead, he said the state would require energy companies to participate in the Call 811 program, saying that would make location information available to anyone who needs it.”
- On May 25, Governor Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-167 into law. This bill included the creation of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission, effective August 8, 2018. The ratification of this law has started transitioning tier two members of the Utility Notification Center of Colorado, or Colorado 811, into tier one members. SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING (SUE)
- The biggest changes for Colorado companies are: The new membership structure is mandatory on January 1, 2019 and existing Tier Two members will have until January 1, 2021 to convert their membership status to Tier One and update their underground facility registration with CO811. Home rule cities can opt out, but then need to create their own enforcement commission (examples would be: Denver, Aurora, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Grand Junction) The 2018 law created a Colorado Damage Prevention Safety Commission. A new penalty schedule has been defined in the One Call Law, they will review complaints and have the ability to fine for infractions. (Excavators have a voting representative on the CO811 Board of Directors.) . (examples would be: Denver, Aurora, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Grand Junction) On May 25, Governor Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 18-167 into law.

- Tier ones required to pay a small fee for every ticket they received from a contractor. (also called a transmission out from the 811 center) This was around $1.43 fee for every ticket they received from contractor. That was teir 1. There are some exemptions mainly for farmers and ranchers. .

- Whiting background slide – damage prevention department started it. Challenges: Communicating with their excavators Keeping track of the 811 transactions on their wellpads. Use MAY Ticket example I researched a transaction entered for Whiting in September. It has been opened in May and by September only 2 companies had given the all clear for a particular ticket. It was still open and is probably still open now. This is not very efficient. Whiting saw this as an opportunity to work smarter.
- About the new tool: Geo specific Ticket Management System Map + tickets Connects all parties in one place (Excavator > 811 > Company > Locator > Excavator) in one tool Connects all parties on desktops and mobilty. Easy to reference where ever the stakeholder is in the office or on the job site.
- WHY IT MATTERS: 3D - The real game changer is the natural progression of understanding maps in 3D. There is a natural progression of intuitive understanding that takes place when users can interact with data in the real world. Users naturally grasp 3 dimensional relationships within data that a 2d map user would not normally notice, often much quicker.
- Whiting’s next chapter: Training crews on AR tools now. Rolling out prototype in the end of 2018. Implementation to start in Early 2019.
- Why it matters: Communication was the biggest problem damage prevention specialists face. This tool connects all the dots. (Locate to 811 Transactions; Excavator to Locator, Bottom line: safer jobs.
- Whiting Petroleum saw a challenge and turned it into an opportunity to work smarter. Argis Solutions was an important part of their success. We all need to be compliant by 2021. We can help you find the right solutions for whatever choice is facing your organization.

- Leverage existing devices and investments vs. new hardware (limited use cases) However, for AR, not all devices are equal. Integrating Augmented Reality and ArcGIS Approach to Hardware Integration Goal Allow users to leverage their existing devices and investments vs buying new hardware that has limited use cases (i.e. glasses, etc.) However, for AR, not all devices are equal Hardware Requirements (Smartphones & Tablets) iOS Minimum: iOS 10.3 or higher; iPhone 6 or newer; iPad 2 or newer Recommended: iOS 11.0 or higher; iPhone 8 or newer; iPad 4 or newer (AX9+ Chipset) Enhanced Accuracy (GPS Receivers) Support existing high accuracy GPS units that already integrate with your mobile device Examples (Trimble R1/R2, ...)
- Goal Allow users to work with their data as it is now, with the ability to enhance the accuracy over time However, data accuracy does effect the user experience Data Requirements <List of data related requirements> Talk about Z-index, relative elevation and data requirements
