GEOLOCATION GIS

Utilizing Geolocation Techniques

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) like ArcMap is essential for accurately mapping extensive pipeline networks. By employing latitude and longitude coordinates, we can efficiently complete approximately 90% of our client’s drawings with minimal additional information. All infrastructure data depends on the GIS data for most accurate mapping: Oil & Gas, Electric and Water Grid Standards, Distribution and Transmission.

Working with engineering teams ensures precision in identifying anomalies during Natural Pipeline's Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP), Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA), and External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) investigations.

Enhancing Safety through Detailed Mapping

Creating comprehensive maps that include state, county, parcel ROW, temporary access roads, work areas, bell holes, and existing utilities is vital for ensuring safety, especially during initial site verifications and surveys. Detailed geospatial data allows field crews to navigate and operate safely, reducing the risk of accidents. For instance, Esri's ArcGIS Field Maps consolidates various data sources into a single, configurable map, enhancing field workers' efficiency and safety by providing up-to-date information and real-time tracking.

By integrating ESRI ArcMap with custom AI agent script development, repetitive geolocation tasks once requiring manual input can now be delegated to intelligent automation. These AI agents are specifically designed to interpret spatial data, read predefined utility standards, and dynamically populate geolocated elements such as pipeline corridors, electric line routes, excavation boundaries, and underground utility layouts. This advancement streamlines data entry and drastically reduces human error while accelerating production timelines.

In complex utility drafting—particularly for natural gas transmission and electrical distribution systems—accuracy in geospatial mapping is critical for regulatory compliance, field crew safety, and cost control. Using Python-based AI scripts embedded within ArcMap workflows, teams can automate the placement of BOMs, station markers, valve locations, and material types, all aligned to real-world coordinates. These tools not only enhance precision but also enable cross-discipline data sharing across departments such as permitting, construction, and maintenance.

The result is a fully integrated, high-efficiency GIS workflow that transforms how utility design projects are planned and executed—reducing workload, increasing scalability, and enabling a leaner, more responsive drafting workforce.

Enhanced Visualization with 3D Models:
AI-powered 3D BIM CAD files provide a clearer understanding of project layouts,

allowing drafters to visualize and address potential challenges early in the design

phase.

Incorporating Field Data
Using Drone and LiDAR technologies, our templates integrate high-quality field

imagery directly into drawings, improving accuracy and decision-making.

Opportunities in Advanced BIM Integration
According to current recruiting trends on platforms like Indeed, demand for BIM specialists, modelers, and drafters has surged as companies seek professionals capable of implementing these advanced workflows. Job postings increasingly highlight the need for expertise in leveraging BIM to enhance project delivery and efficiency. This trend indicates that organizations are ready to invest in BIM-driven innovations to remain competitive in a rapidly advancing industry.

Industry Adoption of GIS for Pipeline Safety

Leading utility companies recognize the importance of GIS in maintaining pipeline integrity and safety. For example, the National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) contains the location and selected attributes of hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines, aiding in compliance and safety measures.
