GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
SYSTEM MAPPING
Geographic Information System (GIS)
mapping is a framework for gathering,
managing and analyzing data. Mapping of
the utility system organizes and layers
a variety of information so that it can
be visualized and used in the operation,
maintenance and repair of the utility system.
Some of the information managed includes
pipe size, material type, flow direction,
manholes, valves and cleaning history.
VIDEO INSPECTIONS
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) or video
inspections are performed in the sewer
system to inspect pipelines and manholes
for clogs that need to be cleared and
defects that may need to be repaired.
Videos are archived and compared with
previous inspections to determine changes
in system conditions over time.
Technology plays an important and ever-increasing role in the operation and
management of Cary's utility infrastructure. Implementing technology-based
solutions helps us keep pace with the advancement of utility operations, deliver
our services efficiently and provide sustainable operations to improve the
