Introduction
Delivering a world of solutions
Canada's largest natural gas distribution company with 160-year history
Owned by Enbridge Inc., a Canadian-based leader in energy transportation and distribution
Canada's Greenest Employers for 2010
Distributes ~420 bcf natural gas to about 2 million customers
Owns and operates more than 34,000 km of distribution mains
Professional services organization providing enterprise wide geospatial solutions and application software services to utilities worldwide
Manages landbase, network database and GIS applications to provide real-time unified network information for the utility industry
Distribution Network..
– Involves distribution service, gas supply, transportation and storage
– Consists a complex network of gas network assets such as active, proposed or abandon mains, services, valves, regulator stations, meters etc.
– Involves meeting stringent safety regulations and other municipal requirements relating to existing and new distribution networks.
– Integration with decision support systems / business functions such as Design, Engineering, Construction, Network Analysis etc.
Gas Distribution Networks
For efficient Gas Distribution, current utility environment requires:
– Monitoring real-time usage to manage distribution loads
– Leverage technological advantages to efficiently manage, automate and optimize operations
– Compliance with regulations for construction of new distribution assets and maintenance of existing networks
– Effective outage management and emergency preparedness
Enterprise GIS
Supports enterprise repository and provides rapid interface for
– Maintaining the near real-time information about assets
– Ensuring the information is made available across the enterprise
