Utilities - Waste & Water Case Study

Creation of Base Map and Digitization of Water Supply Network

For the water supply network of the Paris metropolitan area

Background and Objectives

Magnasoft, as a subcontractor is involved in the digitization of the water supply network for Paris metropolitan area. Magnasoft's partner company is a leading Topography and Geomatics services company in France and the prime vendor of this project.

Key Aspects of the Project

Creation of base road map with the help of customized tools for data entry and placement/attribution
Creation of digital map of water supply network using the base road map as reference

Services Rendered and Methodology

Organization of general road map data
The road map is divided into 3 different layers:
- Base road map containing main roads and road number
- Objects imported form road features database (BD Topo)
- Scanned cadastral boundaries/property plates
Basic BD Topo Map (Topo database)
- De-archiving or retrieval of objects from Topo database
- Topological processing
- Organization of data before integration
Basic Cadastre raster map
- Scanning of raster plates
- De-archiving/recovery of coordinates from grid-crosses on plates
- Coordinate transformation into RGF 93 using CIRCE software
- Embedding of plates using MicroStation with the module DCARTES using the coordinates calculated with CIRCEms)
Basic Road Map
- Data entry of the elements of the road map using MicroStation
- Development of customized tools for intelligent and controlled data entry
- Customized interface for data entry of road centerlines, road literals, linking between road numbers and main roads and metadata information
- Orientation of roadway numbers based on fixed placement rules
- Digitalization of main roads on basic cadastre raster map with BD Topo as reference
- Attribution of road code to main roads using the help of the road 'label' tool
- The tool helps the user in verifying road codes, prevents re-use of road codes, choice of placing permitting compatibility with the automatic increase in size depending on the scale without superimposing the text on the roadway
- Creation of intelligent road numbers whereby numbers may be labeled either by unitary allocation or all together after digitization; numbers once linked change colour and cannot be reselected
- Attributes linked to a roadway number are stored in the form of a label that can be continuously verified using the label tool
Digitization of water supply network
- Georeferencing of cadastral maps with network lines using the base road map vector data
- Digitization of water network lines
- Attribution of network lines and placement of cells

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: Can my company do more, with less?
