Water mains, gas distribution, and telecom fiber all share the same processing pain — disparate vendor formats, ESRI-locked deliverables, and asset-condition models that live on someone's laptop. GeoDataConverter unifies it.
Multi-utility GIS teams juggle ESRI Utility Network exports, Esri Geometric Network legacy data, and a half-dozen vendor file formats from sensor and locate-ticket systems.
ESRI Utility Network XML exports that no downstream tool can ingest cleanly
Asset condition scoring built once in Excel, never re-run on schedule
Gas-leak survey routing drawn manually on PDFs
Water-quality sensor data stuck in vendor portals
Thirteen workflows that span water, gas, and telecom — including a bidirectional ESRI Utility Network XML round-trip that no other platform offers without ArcGIS Pro.
| Workflow | Name & what it automates | Time saved |
|---|---|---|
| #191 | Gas-Leak Survey Routing Slope-aware optimal route between leak ticket coordinates with vehicle/pedestrian profiles | — |
| #192 | Water Quality Aggregation Time-series ingest from SCADA + lab → per-monitoring-point exceedance alerting | — |
| #193 | ESRI Utility Network XML Round-Trip Bidirectional UN export/import without ArcGIS Pro license — preserves connectivity, attribute domains, and subnetworks | — |
| #194 | Asset Condition Scoring Composite condition score from age + material + soil + flood proximity + maintenance history | — |
| #195 | Buried Utility Locate QA/QC Compare 811-locate marks against design CAD — flag conflicts before excavation | — |
| #181 | Service-Territory Boundary Cleanup Topology repair + sliver removal across acquisitions and franchise updates | — |
| #185 | Fiber-Route Sag/Span Analysis Aerial fiber catenary sag calculation against pole heights and clearance code | — |
| #62 | Flood Risk — Infrastructure FEMA SFHA join across pump stations, vaults, and substations | — |
Modeled on a combined water/gas utility with 4,200 miles of distribution main and 12,000 active service tickets per year.
| Metric | Manual / current tooling | GeoDataConverter |
|---|---|---|
| Annual ESRI Utility Network export labor | $72,000 (1.0 FTE) | $9,000 (compute only) |
| Asset condition refresh cycle | Annual | Nightly |
| Gas-leak route plan turnaround | 1–2 days | Minutes |
| ArcGIS Pro seats required for export | 3–5 | 0 |
Workflow #193 reads and writes the ESRI Utility Network XML interchange format directly. Connectivity, subnetwork tracing, attribute domains, association tables — all preserved. You move data into and out of UN environments without paying for ArcGIS Pro seats just to run an export.
Send us your ESRI Utility Network export and one quarter of asset-condition data. We'll re-run the export round-trip and rebuild your scoring model on the platform — comparison report back in 5 business days.
