Works management

Street survey Traditionally used for background mapping, our data is now being used more innovatively within geographical information systems (GIS) to provide business intelligence and integrate business processes across an enterprise.

OS MasterMap data has a unique reference that links address, road networks and topography. It enables you to accurately identify and link together your assets, your risks and your customers, turning your data into operational knowledge. You can also associate your own information to an asset such as their function, history, setting, usage, interaction with other structures and customer information. 

 

Asset management:

  • Identify the precise location of all your assets.
  • Associate your own data to enable proactive asset maintenance and replacement strategies.
  • Identify an asset in relation to risk.
  • Provide an accurate and reliable referencing platform for third‑party enquiries.
  • Identify the location and status of customers in relation to operational assets.

Design replacement projects and network capacity analysis:

  • Determine load demands to design pipe/cable sizes.
  • Reduce the need for site surveys.
  • Provide a common, consistent framework for contingency planning and collaboration.

Street‑works noticing:

  • Increase the accuracy of third‑party communications by providing a unified single point of reference.
  • Prevent network infrastructure incidents.
  • Efficient work scheduling of contractors.

Underpinning asset management and planning functions with accurate and reliable common data facilitates the linking of business processes across the enterprise. This includes contact centres, work scheduling, service partners and field operations, increasing efficiencies and customer service.
