Henkels & McCoy: Engineering / GPS Data / Field Inventory
GPS Data / Field Inventory
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a worldwide positioning system formed from a constellation of 24 satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these satellites to pinpoint locations with positional accuracy to a matter of meters, and in some cases, centimeters.
    Historically, hand drawn maps were often based on sketches completed by engineers or installation crews. They portrayed the components of the network but their positioning was less accurate. The on-map relationships of key components such as manholes and utility poles were approximate.
    GPS technology allows utility companies to accurately locate and map their facilities and assets in the field. Henkels & McCoy has done GPS/Field Inventory projects for organizations in both the public and private sectors, tracking assets specific to their needs.

Benefits

• True positional accuracy
Determine spans and distances without a trip to the field. Provide a solid foundation for your facility records base or maps.

• Streamline data acquisition
Pre-defined data dictionary makes for efficient, fast data acquisition.

• Joint pole inventory
Know who is "attached" to your poles and if there is space to be leased for increased revenue.
