Stadtwerke Mainz AG Selects Bentley for Multi Utility GIS
 EXTON,
PA, Sep 20, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that
Stadtwerke Mainz AG, a multi-utility serving more than 300,000 citizens in
the capital of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, is implementing an enterprise
geographic information system (GIS) based on Bentley sisNET, Project Wise,
and other Bentley products.
With these Bentley solutions that advance GIS for infrastructure, all
data needed to support the lifecycle of the city of Mainz’s electric power
generation and supply, gas, and water infrastructure will be available to
all users in real time. As a result, Stadtwerke Mainz anticipates new levels
of enterprise productivity, along with an extremely fast return on its
investment in this innovative technology.
Volker Waschenbach, GIS project leader, Planning and Facilities
Management, Stadtwerke Mainz, said, “Through the deployment of our new GIS,
we expect our engineering processes to become more streamlined because
multi-utility data will be readily accessible and more transparent –
prerequisites for the steady improvement of data.
“In addition, the new GIS will help us ensure full compliance with the
extensive reporting requirements of the Bundesnetzagentur, our national
utilities regulator.”
Waschenbach added, “Although we have made a substantial investment in
this project, we expect to benefit from the many workflow efficiencies
generated by the new Bentley solutions.” These workflow efficiencies will
include:
- Easier and more efficient network documentation
- Support for “call-before-you-dig” services, with all data residing
in one location and readily available to third parties who need to
excavate trenches
- Electronic importation of all surveying data, saving time and money
- Improved collaboration among Stadtwerke Mainz project teams and
outside contractors facilitated by the ProjectWise collaboration system,
which enables users to manage, find, and share CAD and geospatial
content, project data, and Office documents electronically, rather than
through the transfer of paper plots
- Data consistency between the GIS and enterprise resource planning (ERP)
systems, with ProjectWise serving as a repository for all geospatial and
ERP system documents
- Increased quality of data provided to field engineers, making their
work easier and more accurate and lowering project costs
How the New System Works
Currently, Stadtwerke Mainz has different ways of managing its network
data. Some of the data is in MicroStation DGN files, organized in folders,
and some of the network object attribute data is held in a separate
database. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to ensure that the
object and network connectivity data matches the attribute data. As a
result, the company spends a lot of time cross-referencing network
documentation data with attribute data to ensure consistency.
With the implementation of Bentley sisNET and the other Bentley
solutions, all network data will reside within the enterprise GIS. The data
will be available in real time to power users in the engineering community
as well as read-only users, such as customer service representatives.
In addition, the GIS data will be linked to the ERP data through a
Bentley sisNET Connector. This will make it easy for the network
documentation team to see up-to-date attribute information from the ERP
system.
About Stadtwerke Mainz
Stadtwerke Mainz is a multi-utility company whose roots date back to
1899, when the first electric power station of Mainz – the capital of
Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany – was connected to the city’s network. In 1933, the
city’s electric power station and supply, gas works, water works, and tram
system were centralized and their management and operation became the
responsibility of Stadtwerke Mainz. Today, the company delivers electricity,
gas, and water services to more than 300,000 customers. For more information
