Wrap Up (12:00 noon)
9. Coverage and Customers
Servicing an area over 1 million
square kilometres, with over
3,000 employees, assets worth
over $3.4 billion, and
powerlines stretching
140,000km.
Supplying electricity to over
480,000 residential customers
and almost 100,000 industrial
and commercial customers.
10. Risk Management
The assets, including 150,000km of
powerlines, one million power poles and
33 remote generating stations, are in some
of Australia's most remote and inaccessible
locations.
11. Risk Management
Cyclones, floods, severe storms, lightning
and bushfires can adversely affect the vast
network and interrupt the power supply.
14. Asset Design Background
Standard process for network design
throughout
Standard format
Standard data sets
Standard compatible units
Common workflow & approvals
All designers were connected to Ergon’s Network
15. GIS System
Citrix version of Smallworld 3.3
– Highly customised interface (continues to be
updated)
– Highly customised design manager
– Smallworld FME to allow for export of data.
16. What Changed?
Increase in workload
– Population Growth
– Industry Growth
– Consumer demand growth
Contestability in construction
– Full Retail Contestability (FRC)
– Time delays to subdivisions were unacceptable
Aging workforce
17. How Did That Change the Business?
Introduction of external designers
– Design uses Ergon’s standard materials
– Are accredited by Ergon
– Design must by approved by Ergon
– Work for Ergon
– Have visibility of all of Ergon’s data
Introduction of contestable designers
– Design uses Ergon’s standard materials
– Are accredited by Ergon
– Design must be approved by Ergon
– Work for the Subdivider
– Have limited visibility of Ergon’s data
18. Possible CAD GIS Solutions
Design Specification for a Structured
Format
FME for translation
Spatial Object Modeler
Supply a GIS Seat to the Designer
Rules Based CAD Environment
19. Requirements for Tool
Minimal impact on the designer
– AutoCAD was used by all external designers
– All but 1 are running 2007 or greater
– Some designers had developed custom tools already
Final design must match a Smallworld design
– Same data
– Symbology
– Construction drawing
End to end design time must be similar
– We don’t want to go backwards
