digital iLLUMINATE: Evolution into the Gas Digital Twin
Does it take you weeks to gather yearly PHMSA data and submissions? Can your GIS provide all this information to you instead? MLGW now as this information at their fingertips at a moment’s notice. SSP Innovations has partnered with MLGW to support a migration of their gas transmission data into UPDM and an implementation of Esri’s ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing tool set. This process included gathering records on pipeline data going back as far as 70 years ago. The team digitized information and migrated data to the standard Esri model for continual maintenance, risk analysis, data gaps and regulatory functions. Upon establishing the best-known representation of the gas environment (the digital twin), SSP and MLGW created a custom path that pulls all the required data together into the summarized PHMSA dashboard based on any delta/edits. In doing so, the entire organization can consume their regulatory snapshot throughout the year, eliminating weeks of data gathering prior to the yearly submission every March. The presentation will overview the entire project as well as our final outputs.
digital iLLUMINATE: Automating GIS Field Collection with Machine Learning

They will walk through the process of data preparation and analysis, training a deep learning model, and automating workflows based on the results of the model. The resulting solution will be able to create features in an Esri enterprise geodatabase using only an image captured by a field worker.

Hear about the process and lessons learned as AEP moved 14 different forms into the digital age, pushed GIS into the field user’s hands, and integrated the results into their data warehouse.
digital iLLUMINATE: Supporting Utility Network Phase Propagation with Pro Templates
Attribute Propagation is the generic name for advance functionality built into Esri’s core Utility Network capable of automatically assigning and managing the values of a network attribute. When the attribute represents the phase value of lines and equipment in an electric network, Phase Propagation adjusts the phases in response to switching operations. Phase Propagation produces the expected phasing values only if the underlying network model is built to support this advance functionality.
digital iLLUMINATE: Location Based MIMS Structure Inspection – A Regulatory Story
PHMSA recommends operators frequently and consistently review their data that supports HCA or DOT Class calculations. Key datasets include structure, identified sites or outdoor congregation polygons. The attribution, purpose and usage of buildings, open structures, and outside areas can shift over time, changing the number of “identified sites” in a PIR, and therefore, whether an area is an HCA. PHMSA believes that if operators review class location and PIR data on an annual basis as a part of their IM programs, the accuracy of HCA determinations will be greatly improved.
