Article from Sat. March 16, 2013 Globe and Mail news section. I’m optimistic the fed’s acknowledgement of underfunding for municipalities will trigger a wave of investment for our crumbling cities.
The first thing that municipalities must do is create a detailed inventory of their infrastructure assets (pipes, hydrants, etc). This is done with a combination of CAD and Geographic Information Systems.
Creating an inventory is just the first step not a complete system. Municipalities also need the purchasing, work order and maintenance components to manage their infrastructure.
Systems such as Maintenance Connection, provide GIS/CAD inventory in conjunction with the entire asset management system.
Arrow Geomatics Inc. have teamed up with Maintenance Connection Canada to build a complete package of GIS (inventory) and Asset Management.
