SiteMap Explained

SiteMap offers users a convenient way to experience facility and location data. Additionally, this geospatial solution functions as a digital storage platform for blueprints, as-built drawings, maintenance records, and permits.

The map above shows hundreds of thousands of data points that we have scanned, mapped, and stored in this database. Each blue dot represents data that has been recorded and stored. Hundreds of points are being added daily.

‍SiteMap grants a unified view of all users' information, whether they have one building or multiple facilities across the United States.

SITEMAP CONSISTS OF 2 PRIMARY TOOLS: THE MAP VIEWER & THE DIGITAL PLAN ROOM

Viewing Your Map Data with the Map Viewer

The Map Viewer allows users to view their facility data on a GIS quickly. GIS stands for Geographic Information System. GIS is a way to create, manage, analyze, and map all types of location data. Geospatial Information Systems connect data points to digital points on a map and provide descriptive details about those points. These systems enable users to understand patterns, relationships, and geographic context. Many industries utilize these systems for mapping and analysis. This results in increased efficiency, communication, and decision-making.

Subsurface infrastructure data is typically fragmented. Facilities managers and construction directors can find organizing facility data and artifacts one of their most challenging tasks. 

Facility plans are rarely centrally located and easy to find. Critical information may only be known to a small number of people and may not be formally recorded anywhere. All this information is collected in SiteMap, which can be easily accessed, updated, and shared when needed.

‍

Users can attach locational information to uploaded documents using the Map Viewer. Documents can contain information about both above-ground and underground infrastructure. Facility managers can use the Map Viewer feature to track records and georeference them. This allows them to share and update location documents more efficiently. The cloud-based technology makes all uploaded documents instantly accessible to everyone with appropriate permissions.

Storage with the Digital Plan Room

Facility drawings, records, and other relevant files are stored in the Digital Plan Room. These documents are directly viewable in the Map Viewer when appropriately tagged with the location information. You can store important documents in the Digital Plan Room.

Maintaining site security requires storing facility documents in a secure location. Documentation that is not organized poses a severe risk to site security.

Additionally, keeping all pertinent files in one location on the web makes data easier to access. Even as team members change or are added, data sharing is still accessible.

INTERCONNECTED WITH GPRS

GPRS powers SiteMap. In addition to being the nation's largest private utility locating company, GPRS collects the most comprehensive utility location information. GPRS delivers high-quality maps when performing utility locates, concrete scans, leak detection, and video pipe inspections. Clients can better manage their facilities, complete improvements, renovations, and excavate safely using these maps. Using SiteMap, facilities can manage their previously generated maps while retaining live access to those maps.
