ELECTRICAL CONVERSION  PROJECT

• Scope : To convert facilities in the territory of a US based electricity distribution company. This included digitization of all facility features identified on the facility grid maps according to the specifications provided in the documentation.

Tasks involved :

• Rakeoff : Non-graphic data/database was captured from the facility maps for some of the total features. Specific database forms were developed taking care of the specifications provided by the client. Proper care had to be taken to identify correct sourcing feature for every feature.
• Rakeoff QC : The rakeoff data was printed in the required fashion and proper QC was done to check for missing data or error in the data entered.
• Digitization – All the facilities on the grid maps had to be captured digitally. The features which were rakeoff previously displayed the data automatically. For non-rakeoff features data was fed during digitization to display text as per specifications. Existing landbase files were used as reference files while digitizing.
• Quality Check – Color plots were taken for each file to check for missing entities and proper placement of features. Snapping and edge matching were also checked using special routines developed.
• Delivery – Regular deliveries of graphic & non-graphic files were done to the client.
