A comprehensive Asset Management program requires a complete inventory of your system, and a means to document condition of assets, useful life, risk of failure, and replacement costs, in addition to supporting a preventive maintenance plan. Given the ability to map the location of assets and store attributes of each component through time, GIS is an integral component of an Asset Management program.
Great Lakes RCAP provides two options for maximizing your GIS for Asset Management. Both options provide Coop communities with the benefits of two-way integration with GIS data hosted on our server. This means that utilities have the ability to add and update data based on their maintenance, replacement, and budgeting activities.
- The first is the use of customized Web and Mobile Apps designed by the GIS Team, with a database formatted specifically to support Ohio EPA Asset Management requirements.
- The second option is Kona, a GIS-centric Asset Management software solution provided through a partnership between RCAP GIS and the Confluence Group.
