Utilities - Electric & Gas Case Study
Data Development and Maintenance
Background and Objectives
The client is one of the oldest natural gas delivery service companies in USA. They are the nation's third largest combined electricity and natural gas delivery companies with approximately 5 million metered natural gas and electric customers.
The key objective of this project is to constantly update and load electrical, land-base and gas -network maps with attribute data onto client’s database in geodatabase format.
Key Aspects of the Project
- Online geodatabase updation via 512 dedicated internet connectivity.
- Real time data updation of critical network attributes information.
-
Development and maintenance of Electric and Gas network database.

About Magnasoft
During the past decade, our economic reality has undergone a dramatic
transformation and a fundamental shift. After years of economic expansion
fueled by unrealistic rates of consumption and unsustainable levels of
private debt, the global economy has reset at a lower baseline level of
activity. Today, people borrow less, save more, and spend with much greater
caution. This is the new normal and it will be with us for some time to
come. The issue now is how to respond!!!
At Magnasoft, we look at this phenomenon as a transformation that will
change the way we experience the world and share our experiences with
others. It's a transformation in which the barriers between technologies
will fall away so we can connect to people and information no matter where
we are. It's a transformation where new innovations will shorten the path
from inspiration to accomplishment.
Magnasoft combines the power of GIS, LiDAR, mapping, photogrammetry and
other geospatial technologies with extensive subject matter expertise to
implement powerful GIS solutions that integrate seamlessly with the IT
framework of organizations. From GIS Data capture and GIS data development,
GIS Application development, 3D laser scan data processing and modeling,
Enterprise Integration and Photogrammetry - specializing in topographical,
parcel and cadastral mapping, orthophoto generation and rectification,
aerial triangulation, contour generation etc covering the complete terrain
in GIS systems.
For years, we at Magnasoft have talked about how our services enable
companies to do more with less. But during this economic reset, we strive to
provide business leaders with the answer to a slightly different question:
