Run the network from one live map
Water, power, and pipeline utilities run on miles of buried and overhead assets that live in disconnected agency portals, as-built PDFs, and inspection spreadsheets nobody can map. Smart Site Plan pulls the asset inventory, field crews, inspections, and outage boundaries onto a single browser map that the operations center and the truck both see in real time.
Real Utilities work over New Bern, NC, captured in the product
The old way
Asset records sit in one system, valve and pole inspections live in paper books or a spreadsheet, and the only outage map is a whiteboard in the control room. Crews drive to a site to read a meter or confirm a valve location that a current map could have answered, and inspection backlogs surface only at audit time.
With Smart Site Plan
Every asset, crew, and inspection on one live map
The data, already on the map
Drawn from 20 million open datasets, one click each. No agency portal hunting, no format wrangling.
Workflows
How Utilities work gets done
End to end, in the browser, on one map.
Annual valve and hydrant inspection cycle
- 1. Import
Load the valve and hydrant layers from a GeoPackage export of the asset system, reprojected to the map.
- 2. Smart Query
Filter to every asset past its inspection due date and style the overdue set in red.
- 3. Forms
Crews open a valve-exercising or flow-test form on each asset and fill it on the tablet, offline if signal drops.
- 4. Photos
Attach a geotagged photo of the valve box or hydrant cap pinned to the asset coordinate.
- 5. Export
Export the completed cycle to CSV for the asset system on Pro, and an HD PDF for the regulator.
Outage and main-break response
- 1. Alerts
An alert fires when a condition changes inside the affected service-territory boundary.
- 2. Collaborate
Control room and crews join the same live map to coordinate isolation and restoration.
- 3. GPS
Track each crew live to route the nearest one to the next isolation valve.
- 4. Draw
Trace the de-energized or isolated section and read off the affected length and customer area.
- 5. Share
Publish a live share link so managers and mutual-aid partners follow progress in a browser.
Service-area and capacity review
- 1. Open Data
Add Census TIGER service-territory boundaries, NHD hydrography, and USGS contours scoped to the current view.
- 2. Smart Query
Filter the asset inventory by pressure zone or circuit to count the matching assets in each.
- 3. Measure
Check elevation and grade along a proposed main to confirm gravity flow or pump head.
- 4. Export
Export the reviewed plan to DXF for engineering and GeoJSON for the records system on Pro.
What you can do
Stand up the asset inventory from your records of record
Import the full network from Shapefile, GeoPackage, or GeoJSON exports of valves, hydrants, poles, transformers, manholes, and pipe segments, up to 50,000 features per layer, reprojected from State Plane or UTM to a common map on the way in. Style by material, install year, pressure zone, or circuit so a 30-year-old cast-iron main reads differently from last year's PVC at a glance.
Find the asset under pressure, by attribute not by memory
Run a no-code Smart Query to pull every hydrant due for flow testing, every pole past its inspection cycle, or every segment in a given pressure zone, then stack AND and OR groups to narrow to assets that meet several conditions at once, like a pole past its inspection cycle that also sits on a specific circuit. Unit-aware measure and draw tools give live length and area readouts when you trace a main, lay out a setback, or size a service area.
Run inspections and condition surveys in the field
Build custom Forms for valve exercising, hydrant flow tests, pole and line condition, manhole and lift-station checks, or leak surveys, and crews fill them on a phone or tablet, drafting offline in a basement vault or rural right of way and submitting on reconnect. Every submission lands geotagged on the asset, with photos pinned to the exact coordinate so the next crew sees the corrosion or the damaged crossarm before they roll.
Watch the network and the crews together during an event
Set Alerts on a service-territory or outage boundary so the control room is notified when activity or conditions change inside it, and track field crews live by GPS as they work a restoration. Office and field share the same live map, so dispatch can see which crew is closest to the next isolation valve without a radio round trip.
The capabilities Utilities teams lean on
Asset inventory in, audit packet out
Bring the whole network in from Shapefile or GeoPackage and, on Pro, export a clean CSV or HD PDF of the completed inspection cycle for the regulator.
Inspections that survive no signal
Crews run valve, hydrant, pole, and manhole forms with geotagged photos in basements and rural rights of way, drafting offline and submitting on reconnect.
Control room and truck on one map
Live sync puts dispatch and field crews on the same map during a restoration, without radio guesswork.
Find the at-risk asset by query
Smart Query filters the network by attribute, combining conditions with AND and OR groups, to surface overdue inspections, aging mains, and assets in a flood zone before they become an emergency.
In practice
A water main break at 2 a.m. in Franklin County, Ohio
On a suburban Columbus, Ohio system, a pressure-zone alert fires when flow drops inside the north service-territory boundary, and the on-call dispatcher opens the same map the crews carry. With three crews live on the map at once, she tracks the two nearest by GPS, draws the section to isolate so everyone sees which valves to close, and pins a photo of the failed cast-iron joint to the asset for the morning repair order. A live share link lets the operations manager and a mutual-aid partner follow restoration from home without logging in.
What changes
- Cut truck rolls spent confirming asset locations a current map already answers
- Close inspection backlogs before audit time instead of discovering them at it
- Coordinate outage restoration from one map shared by control room and crews
- Hand regulators a clean inspection record without rebuilding it from paper books
Utilities, answered
Yes. Import valves, hydrants, poles, transformers, mains, and manholes from Shapefile, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, or CSV, up to 50,000 features per layer, and the platform reprojects from State Plane or UTM to a common map automatically. On Pro, export back out as GeoJSON, CSV, or DXF when you need to round-trip changes.
