GISCO Fall 2018: Colorado 811: Changes and Challenges – Brian Collison
The document discusses recent changes to Colorado's damage prevention laws, focusing on the transition of tier two members to tier one and the establishment of a new underground damage prevention safety commission. It highlights the challenges faced by home rule cities, including the need for better communication with excavators and the importance of utilizing GIS data to enhance safety and collaboration in damage prevention efforts. It also presents a case study on Whiting Petroleum's integration of augmented reality and geocoded ticket management systems to improve efficiency and safety in their operations.

- 14. It wasdifficult 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 islocation-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.)

Editor's Notes
- #3 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.”
- #4 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)
- #5 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. 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.
- #8 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. .
- #9 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. .
- #16 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.
- #17 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.
- #20 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.
- #21 Whiting’s next chapter: Training crews on AR tools now. Rolling out prototype in the end of 2018. Implementation to start in Early 2019.
- #22 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.
- #24 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.
- #25 Integrating Augmented Reality and ArcGIS Approach Overview Long history of working with ArcGIS technology (20+ years) Deep understanding of what can and cannot be done Current capabilities are exciting and foundational 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

- #27 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, ...)
- #28 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
