Utility Maps Upgrade

The Town of Stony Plain will obtain more detailed and accurate information on the Town's undergroundinfrastructure assets (water valves, manholes, underground pipes, manholes and valves). This information will improve the Town's asset management data and facilitate better decision- making. The Town will develop an up-to-date “as-built” maps of its underground infrastructure.The Town will conduct valve and manhole pickup to update and create a working electronic database. The final GPS map version will be an accurate and detailed representation of what is in the field. The information will be available on Town staff desktops with the ability to file-share. The project will be of great benefit both operationally and with ongoing planning and management of the Town’s infrastructure assets.The immediate result of this project will be greatly improved information on a significant element of a Town asset. The Town will have accurate location and design information for all of its infrastructure assets. Currently, the Town’s mapping of its infrastructure exists on multiple databases and source documents. The information obtained from accurate GPS as-built maps will be integrated into the Town’s asset management process. Accurate location information, along with the condition and accurate design specifications, will greatly assist with ongoing maintenance and replacement planning.
