Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The course will comprise general and specific roles and applicability of how GIS & Mapping can optimize operation and maintenance. This course will tackle different relative disciplines and corresponding issues like; GIS & GPS Functionality, Geographic Coordinate System & Scale, Projected Coordinate Systems, Acquiring Data & Data Collection, Mapping Methodology, and International Case Studies & Best Practices World Wide. Moreover, this course will cover the GIS role in field force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Understand and gain experience on how GIS and mapping can work.
- Particularly, in the optimization of the operation, regular maintenance, predictive maintenance, proactive maintenance, pipeline and piping inspection, repair in a manner that follows international best practices, and being aware of the kind of tools appropriate for each corresponding task.
- The course will cover the most advanced techniques used in data collection, data processing & handling, state-of-the-art GIS, and mapping modules applied in that context.
- Furthermore, the course will cover also cutting-edge technology applied in the geo-database and spatial analysis affiliated with slandered attributes.
- Noteworthy, the GIS role in the field force automation (FFA) and control/monitoring systems will be explained. Moreover, significant best practices and tangible case studies will be discussed in detail as well.
