From Old Records to Reliable Maps: How iTechLance IT Supports Utility Operators
Records do not always keep up with utility networks which are created over many years. Paper drawings, scanned plans, old CAD files and spreadsheets all contain a portion of the picture but no one source provides an operator with what's actually in the ground. That's the danger in digging because crews have no way of knowing what is below the surface.
iTechLance IT puts that distance between itself and the operators and infrastructure developers of the UK, Australia, the US and Middle East.
Turning Old Records into Digital Assets
Utility Conversion Services can convert old data into digital data that can be used. Paper maps, scanned drawings and unstructured files are reviewed, interpreted and then converted into clean CAD or GIS format to the client's own standard.
The iTechLance IT Utility Conversion Services are provided in a controlled process. The source material is audited, the geometry is rebuilt from the source, attributes are added to the geometry, and results are compared to the originals prior to delivery to ensure operators get the information they can load directly into their own systems.
Showing What Is Really There
Conversion informs you what the records are. Utility Mapping Services do more than just convert the records; they verify and confirm what exists on the ground through field survey and verification.
iTechLance IT offers Utility Mapping Services that combine these sources into comprehensive GIS-based datasets with attributes, tailored to each client's data schema. Engineers use them to design new projects, to prevent strikes in the construction process, and to keep assets under control over their life cycles.
A Clear Path Forward
The two services complement each other. Conversion organizes what is known, mapping is filling in what is missing. Use of a single partner ensures consistency of data, and prevents duplication between suppliers.
When it's done right, on time, and usable, clients come back to iTechLance IT. This reliability is essential for operators with extensive networks in multiple geographic locations, ensuring safety, cost-effectiveness, and program schedules.
