• Desktop
• Server
• ArcGIS Pro
• Allows Gas Distribution/GIS/IT to review, evaluate and plan for
next technology phase
• Transmission Data will remain in UPDM model, added
regulatory/editing benefits

Past (32 Bit) to Future (64 Bit)
UPDM & APR Implementation for Gas Transmission
Key Project Decisions/Milestones
Discovery Overview
• Current GIS State, Data and IS/IT Overview
• GIS Data
• ArcGIS Gas Distribution Data Model
• Electronic Data
• Scanned Documents/Document Management Tools
• Spreadsheets
• Local DBs (GDB, Access)
• Historical Paper Documentation
• Application Review
• Current GIS Data Projects
Key Decisions
Utility Pipeline Data Model (UPDM)
• Future data model for all gas assets
• Industry/Esri supported model
Linear Reference Transmission Data
• Source data from ArcGIS Gas Distribution Database
• GPS Survey Data/Centerline Rectification
Load best known attribution and documentation
• MAOP Database/Documents vs GIS
GIS – Management
• Single Infrastructure
• Applications and Integrations
• Ability to program and configure against one location
• Streamlined integration points
Standardized Architecture
• Clarity for the User Community
• Regulatory Reporting, Asset Views, Mileage, Summaries
• No need to compare and/or combine data from multiple
locations for reporting
• MAKE OUR GIS A DECISION MAKING TOOL
Why UPDM?
Project Overview
Utility Pipeline Data Model
• Schema Extensions, RDMS/SDE &
Database Implementation
Data Migration
• Linearly Reference Transmission (GL-
ID)
• ArcGIS Gas Distribution Model
• Gas Transmission Assets
• PCS – MAOP Document/Attribution
Database 15
Project Overview
ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing Implementation
• Centerline Editing Tools – ArcGIS Pro
• Web Event Editing Tools – ArcGIS Server
• Desktop Configuration Tools – ArcGIS
Desktop
Project Overview
oBenefits:
• Complete 10.5 Esri Architecture Up and Running
• Desktop, Server & ArcGIS Pro
• Allows Gas Distribution/GIS/IT to review, evaluate and plan for
next technology phase
• Transmission Data will remain in UPDM model and Dist Data
will ultimately be merged
ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR)
Early Adopters
Early Adopters
First companies on board, including MLGW, find UPDM
appealing since both the distribution and transmission gas
assets can be stored within the same enterprise
geodatabase
•Operators seeing the benefit of Esri out of the box tools
versus third party software products for core pipeline
management
• ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing – Centerline & Event
Management
• Pro – Distribution
Early Adopters
With PODS Next Generation on the horizon and the
perceived jump from APDM to UPDM, we’ve found that
pure transmission operators are road-mapping and
planning prior to making the move
• Integration points to current PODS or APDM model
• Application compatibility (HCA/Class, Risk,
MAOP/MOP and Alignment Sheet Generation)
• Migration and Esri Version Upgrade Planning
ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing (APR)
Data
Data, Data, Data
How are pipeline routes being stored in the new model?
• Past models, stored pipelines and systems in
StationSeries and LineLoop/LineLoopHierarchy tables.
• UPDM…review existing systems hierarchy and make
key decisions for modeling the pipeline LRS networks
Do you still need historical stationing?
• Simply utilize continuous network and manage true
pipeline length/location?
Data, Data, Data
Data Mapping Phase
• Example: GasMain -> UPDM.P_Pipes
UPDM Database Extensions
• Where is data duplicated?
• Where can we consolidate?
• Between both source datasets or within the same
• What fields are truly needed to support GIS asset and integrity
management
Data, Data, Data
Data Migration
Establish Empty UPDM Schema
• Transmission vs Distribution
• Shared Features (P_Pipes, P_Fittings, P_Valves)
Configure APR
• LRS Networks, LRS Events, Event Response
• Centerline, Routes, Centerline Sequence
Data, Data, Data
Don’t discount the APR Toolbox!
• Streamlined Workflows
• GIS Centric
• Makes data loading a non-DBA task
• Append Events (Location Referencing Tools)
• Generate shapes and Event GUIDs
• Add, Retire or Replace

Licensing & Deployment
ArcGIS Pro Location Referencing Extension –
• Extension is part of the Pro Install!
• Named User versus Single Use?
• Single Use License: Provision APR as a single use on the same
machine
Licensing & Deployment
ArcGIS Pro Location Referencing Extension –
• Named User License: Use Pro License and the APR License
• Much easier to manage/implement
• Use Pro from any machine and utilize named user account for
authentication
Centerline & Data Loading
Migrate core features and LRS tables
• Follow Esri Documentation!
• The features/data that are migrated (outside the core) will assume
the LRS Network properties and users can proceed with using the
APR applications.
Centerline & Data Loading
Append Events – Location Referencing Toolbox
• Your new best friend!
• Event GUIDs
• Create shapes from source data in a tabular
format
• ROUTEID, M Value (From/To)
• Add, Retire or Replace
• Field Mapping – Visual Representation of
Mapped Columns
WebApp Builder
Out of the box Esri App tool
• Widget Based
• Configured to Transmission Needs
• <= 1970 Install Date
• Unknown WT
• Document Links
