CANCELED DUE TO COVID-19

About the Topic

• Estimated 12,000 maps to be created based on initial research performed during RFP cost estimate development
• Estimated 8750 manholes to be adjusted / created within the CE*GIS System
• Estimated 4000 feeders to be modified / adjusted in the underground sections of the GIS based map of ComEd's suburban regions
• Estimated 1000 miles of conduit miles to be field located, collected and adjusted / created and applied within the GIS based map of ComEd's underground suburban regions.
• Estimated 431 Substations to be visited to verify feeder sources
• 21 Regions/Barns and multiple other data sources for historical document research
• Estimated 11,174 square miles of system territory to cover

The benefits to be realized from the performance of the project are as follows:

• Faster troubleshooting during outages.
• Improved data for asset management.
• Allows for improved effectiveness of "NO DIG / ONE CALL" utility coordination.
• Improved dig-in prevention and underground facility protection.
• Identification of cables present for crews entering manholes.
• Improved visualization for system modifications during design.
• Improves design process for system upgrades and expansion.
• Electric system model with physical location of underground infrastructure.

About the Speakers

Mr. Linke is a Licensed Professional Engineer who has over 19 years of experience in the field of Engineering performing design, construction, project and program management for projects in the industries of Utility Infrastructure, Highways and Bridges, and Aviation. He has gained invaluable experience through his day to day collaboration with both office and field teams focusing on safety, coordination, communication, and efficiency. His experience is the basis for providing quality management and engineering as an Associate Manager and Program Lead for HBK in the energy and utilities industry engineering consulting services. In collaboration with ComEd's program team, Mr. Linke lead one of HBK's largest efforts under the Power Division, USMRP (Underground Suburban Mapping Revitalization Program). This program was a complex, multi-year, spatially accurate mapping program of suburban underground distribution systems. His responsibilities included project management, budgeting, GIS and engineering oversight, as well as coordination of region and substation visits, locating and surveying teams, and managing multiple DBE sub-contractors. USMRP included field work and mapping of an approximately 11,310 square mile territory, over 8,700 manholes, 1,000 miles of duct, 467 substations and 12,000 facilities maps.
