Managing new and existing asset data records can be a challenge to many utilities. Asset data management is not a core competency of the utility company, and many utilities struggle to design processes that ensure the timely and accurate recording of asset data changes and additions. Errors with the currency and accuracy of asset data can affect the quality of a utility’s core service -– delivering power in a reliable and cost-effective manner. A managed approach to field asset data services can help maintain these critical asset data records.

Many quality conscious utilities are searching for a cost-effective way to manage staking, design and as-built inspection processes as part of a comprehensive asset data management program. ASI, in cooperation with leading technology partners, has designed a program that blends staking, design and inspection into a single managed asset data service.

ASI’s approach is unique. Staking technicians first make site visits and capture equipment locations and traverses using a leading field data capture software product. Existing versioned asset data maintained in a centralized asset data repository can be sent into the field with the staking technician.

ASI’s field data capture solution then integrates with leading design optimization software that ASI design technicians utilize from a central facility to prepare designs and construction prints. The final designs are released to the utility’s company or contract crews for construction.

Following construction, the ASI staking technician returns to the original job site with the final design loaded to the field inspection software to records as-built changes that the crew made during construction of the project. The as-built records are then returned to the versioned asset data repository.
