As a water and wastewater utility developing a GIS to support maintenance m=
anagement (work order system), we are studying methods for assigning IDs to=
all of our infrastructure assets (pipes, valves, manholes, meters, etc.). =
Our users have decreed that whatever system we come up with must be simple=
enough to be annotated on a paper municipal basemap at 1:2400, yet intuiti=
ve to even the lowest ranking field crew leader. I'm hoping to get some fe=
edback how other similar utilities have designed asset ID systems for GIS. =
Have you used grid-based IDs? Do you incorporate feature type codes into =
alphanumeric IDs? Do you use sequential numbering or do you have rule-base=
d assignment? Anything you particularly like or dislike about your current=
asset ID schema? We have the luxury of starting from scratch so if you ha=
ve a system that works well or especially if you have encountered problems,=
I'd like to hear your experiences.
