Description
In 2022, the City of Knoxville received a grant from the state of TN through the American Rescue Plan funding program to perform an update of their stormwater asset inventory and begin to transition the City to an asset management program.
In today’s technology-driven mobile world, utilities have a variety of technology tools that can be used to support more effective asset management, real-time data collection, and data visualization. Using GIS-based mobile, web, and cloud solutions, CDM Smith, assisted by SAM, is conducting a city-wide inventory and condition assessment of the City of Knoxville’s stormwater network. Office and field GIS tools are integral for data collection, visualization, and analysis to achieve the City’s goal of a complete and accurate stormwater system inventory.
This presentation will discuss tools and technologies available to support inventory development and asset management of stormwater systems, specifically the process of the field data collection, coordination between the office and field teams for quality control, how the data collected is being leveraged to advance the stormwater management program, and the pros-and-cons of popular hardware and software solutions, including dashboard technologies to visualize data and support tracking progress.
