Midland GIS Solutions has recently contracted with six Kansas Municipal Energy Agency (KMEA) Mutual Aid Cities to provide electrical network feature collection and GIS development. Midland GIS was selected by KMEA in 2009 for their GIS Mutual Aid Program (G-MAP) to help member cities digitally map their electrical systems to increase efficiencies in asset management [...]
The more cities learn about G-MAP, the more they are setting the stage to participate in KMEA’s Geographic Information System program, which will provide standardized digital maps of the components in their power systems. KMEA launched the G-MAP program in 2009 to help members map their electric systems digitally, thereby improving efficiencies, asset management and, [...]
A city of 1,500 with 735 housing units, Arma decided to embark on the G-MAP beta test in August to address the virtually non-existent maps of their electrical system according to John Gorentz, Arma Director of Public Works and member of the G-MAP Committee. “We had a pencil drawing of where some of the switches [...]
Utilizing the services of Midland GIS Solutions, the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency (KMEA) has developed the G-MAP program which will create a uniform, Agency-wide Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. It will allow interested member cities to adopt the technology, at a significantly reduced cost, to better oversee their electrical systems. GIS is a technology Midland [...]
