Townsville
City Council in full production with ArcFM
Madrid, July 11, 2005 - Telvent (NASDAQ TLVT), the Global
RealTime IT Company, has now deployed ArcFM to Townsville
City Council in North Queensland, Australia to maintain and
manage their water, wastewater, and stormwater networks. The
implementation of ArcFM has enabled the automation of fundamental
processes, which have seen a productivity increase of 300%
for maintenance and 25% for 'as constructed' subdivision capture.
This automation has helped Townsville City Council's asset
management capability to remain in the top 10% of Councils
nationally.
Townsville City Council selected ArcFM, an extension to the
ESRI ArcGIS suite supplied by ESRI Australia, to improve existing
network management capability and to ensure that the Council
can meet the stringent regulatory demands and level of service
required by clients.
ArcFM is being used to manage over 1600km of water (including
the Townsville Thuringowa Water Board assets), 800km of wastewater,
and 600km of stormwater networks.
"The Townsville City Council is always looking to take advantage
of the latest technology to improve productivity and efficiency.
By already achieving a 300% productivity gain in data maintenance
less than six months after implementation, ArcFM has more
than proven its return on investment," said Sandra Sherriff,
Coordinator, Land Information Unit, Townsville City Council.
ArcFM has delivered to the Council utility-specific network
tracing, strip mapping functionality, and enhanced field mapping
capability with its ability to automatically zoom to errors
and by carrying ArcFM data integrity through to ArcPad projects.
