Utilities manage complex networks of infrastructure, assets, and information. Having accurate data is important, but the real value comes from connecting that information in ways that help teams better understand their systems and make informed decisions.
In a recent episode of Esri’s “The Science of Where” podcast, Langan’s John Young discusses how GIS and geospatially powered digital twins are helping utilities create a more connected view of their infrastructure.
The conversation explores how a GIS-based approach can help utilities:
Bring infrastructure and asset information together in a common geographic context
Improve visibility into utility networks and the relationships between assets
Support informed infrastructure planning and design
Connect information across field and office workflows
Strengthen asset management, maintenance, and day-to-day operations
Establish a foundation for more advanced capabilities, including digital twins
From GIS to HydroSuite™
These same challenges helped shape HydroSuite™, Langan’s suite of services and solutions for utility infrastructure management. Rather than treating GIS as just a mapping tool, HydroSuite™ helps clients use location-based information throughout the infrastructure lifecycle, from planning and design to asset management and operations.
HydroSuite™ brings together Langan’s GIS, engineering, data, and utility expertise to help organizations improve how infrastructure information is collected, connected, managed, visualized, and employed.
