MISSION: Manage property and projects in support of power delivery

Revenue generation varies from $19M to $100M dollars per year coming from Land sales and donations; quit claims; fiber optic agreements; easements; lake lots; forestry, water withdrawals, and park income.


Land DepartmentAcquire, protect and manage company real property assets (Local government industry - alike)

• 17 hydro generation sites • 60,000 reservoir acres and

1,400 shoreline miles• A total of 76,750 acres of land- 21,750 leased to the Georgia DNR

for public recreation and hunting

- 18,000 plus total lake residents with lease lots, access, and easements


Land ProjectsGeneration, Transmission, Distribution, Corporate Services (AEC Industry alike)

• New construction (plants, transmission line, substation)

• Rebuild and Reconductor • Substation and Plant expansions• DOT Relocations• Customer relocations• Distribution feeder additions


Land Rights in GeorgiaStored in GIS and Onbase

150,000 acres fee simple Plants Lakes Substations Operating HQ Offices Communications sites

Easements for 12,000 miles transmission 72,774 miles distribution

Fee is also stored as bulk property in GIS

Georgia is headrights and Land lots and Districts; not PLS


Land Records and GISIn support of property and project management

• Records custodian for property records (half a million) and maps (200K)

• 6 million supporting documents available offsite

• Conducts property research for all projects

• Over 150 years of records

• Uses technology tools


My Inspiration to Present at this Summit

• Work

• Attending this summit last year

• Reading/hearing from the works of individuals/groups like Curt Sumner (GIS), RJ Zimmer (GIS for Surveyors), Erik Gakstatter (GPS World), Land Records Meetup, GIS Janet/PLS Randy (Intersect series of PROFSURV), bloggers like Don Kuehne, Gordon Luckett, and many more

• Passionate in the use of GIS in providing geospatial solutions for the end users specially the AEC users in my company

LIMSGIS & LIMSGIS Mobile


Web MapsSimilar concept as ArcGIS.COM

• Web Map use to share GIS content and documents among LIMSGIS users.

• Web created from the browser is accessible from its mobile version

• Can be shared and emailed


What’s stored on web mapsCustom Web Map Viewer, Mobile component

• Map metadata

• Pertinent layers to web map

• Extent

• Document hit list – search result


My WorkspaceMaps and Bookmarks

• Pop up window to store:- location bookmark- map bookmark- My favorite web maps - Shared maps- Group maps

• Important feature to use for LIMSGIS Mobile

GIS Integrated with Portals and Document Management System

Documents and Geospatial Data



Delivery Solutions - DocumentsLIMSGIS integrated with Onbase document management

• 200K maps & 500K document stored in Onbase

• Locating documents (Property and maps) by attributes

• Locating documents using GIS features (Attribute link)


End GoalGeolocate all documents - user clicks on a feature all documents associated to the feature are highlighted and identified


Geospatial dataData everywhere… the GIS analyst & the Records center are the data keepers

• Digital data all the way back from early-mid 90s- CAD, GIS, Controls, PLS-CADD,

• Aerial imagery of almost 30TB

• Lidar data - NERC Alert data is 6TB

• Is there a solution that fits all?


Geospatial data portal solutionsWe’ve tried Geoportal (Open), Erdas Apollo, Voyager Search and Portal for ArcGIS/ArcGIS.COM

Links to Portals


Geospatial data portalsUse right clicks on LIMSGIS map view and clicks Voyager Search passing its center and view extent…Voyager filters results based on these parameters

Voyager parameters parsed in LIMSGIS using Voyager query parameters


Geospatial data portalsSample of Voyager Search filters


VOYAGER SEARCH FEATURES

• Search filters

• Arc Map Add-in

• Works with all the geospatial data that we use – even FME workspaces

• Web integration API

• Discovery tool – scheduled, watch, easy to use

• Metadata extraction

• Single sign-on, AD security enabled

• Easy to install, easy to maintain… DB built-in

• We’ve indexed more than 1.1million records


Building workflows and defining the purpose of the data and solutions

Meaningful Information



PROPERTIES, ENCUMBRANCES & RIGHTSChallenge – Even our data has a separation

• The suggested data format – how long ago?

• Difficult for the end users

• Difficult to maintain

• Compromise to get survey data into GIS

• Data will be distorted regardless

• We have to link these data with other non-GIS access databases

NON SURVEYLAYERS

SURVEY LAYERS


Needs and redefining the purpose of our data• Do we need use GIS to drive spatial accuracy? at least not yet. (Erik B.).

• If we have to, then we will ask our surveyors, mappers, researchers to come together to build and maintain parcel fabrics as part of our workflow.

• Workflows will help us define how we create and maintain these layers.

• Do not combine the purpose of data into one data set, e.g. - bulk property for both ownership and timber management

- leased lots layers to view survey and non-survey (tax data) boundaries

• Our GIS data isused as a reference to retrieve project information & data. The boundary is used as a reference and a link & not to be used for deciding any property disputes.

• GIS will help answer property questions that are spatial in nature and to address the department’s mission – i.e. to manage projects and properties for the company that are pertinent to Land. – (Erik B.)

PROPERTIES, ENCUMBRANCES & RIGHTS


Solution - a new workflow for property transactions, rearranged the layers

• WORKFLOW

• Data capture for property triggered when closing documents are received/Recorded in Onbase

• Parcel map/plats are used to generate boundaries using COGO or data conversion.

• PROPERTY DATA MODEL

• Properties group will be reduced to - Property Transaction – sold, donated, purchased

- Fee Property - maintained from transaction layer

- Bulk Property – maintained from transaction layer

- Project Boundaries - linear

• Survey or non survey becomes an attribute, data/document source, method used (COGO, conversion from CAD or survey)

PROPERTIES LAYER


EasementsDeveloped a workflow, conversion tool using ArcSDE, AutoCAD C3D & FME

• Needs/Requirements - Calling project parcels as easements is misleading- Get used to the term “project parcels”- Create GIS while project parcels are being surveyed and acquired and

not at the end of the construction- Mappers want to use their tool (CAD) – the words GIS, SDE, reconcile

and post gives them the shivers- Mappers want an Easy button

• Workflow analysis- Data capture for easement happens when a construction release form

is emailed.


EasementsDeveloped a workflow, conversion tool using AutoCAD C3D, FME Desktop

• Workflow Solution- Tax parcel list with geometry is received from researchers

- During the pre-construction survey, mappers use survey data to create new project parcels based on scope

- Mappers create the SDF in CAD. Run the conversion tool in FME

- GIS Analysts QAs, reconcile and post in SDE

- The process is iterated until a construction release form is created and some project parcels are either converted to fee or acquired easements

• Toolset - a combination of data conversion within Civil 3d from civil objects to Autodesk’s SDF format – Mapguide format – and FME Desktop


EasementsSolution - Using FME Desktop...deployed in Citrix…to be moved to FME Server
