Requirement

The customer, a leading largest Utility Distribution Companies (for Gas/Water/Electricity) in Germany and some more countries in Europe, required vectorization of gas and water pipes on the pre-digitized ground cadaster map as per the dimension. The customer possess scanned images having both gas and water information and vectorized ground cadaster map.

Solution Offered

  • AABSyS digitized parts of a gas distribution network which included pipeline specifications. The plots of scanned images were used as reference.
  • The gas and water pipe lines were digitized in separate files as per the dimension with reference to the ground cadaster map.
  • A tailored routine program was developed in Auto LISP which was then used for automated execution of the dimensioning and transformation of entities to their specified layers. All the utility information were captured from the image as per client’s specification.
  • Ground cadaster maps were digitized as per client specifications. Plots, houses, streets were digitized as closed polygons.
  • Wherever dimensions were missing, the raster image served as reference. Pipe-fittings and corresponding information were placed as block attributes and pipelines were grouped with their respective specifications.
  • The relevant objects such as plots, houses, streets and their respective numbering were grouped. The drawing files were merged to one deliverable.
  • Finally two merged files of both gas and water were delivered to the client after a thorough quality check.
