For Utilities

Utility companies have a constant need to coordinate construction and maintenance projects in the municipalities they serve. From replacing aging pipelines, to adding new service lines, to fixing leaks, the efficient operations of utility companies depend on timely and accurate information from cities and towns on roadway projects.

The Larger the Service Area, the Greater the Need for Project Coordination

Utility companies spend significant time and resources to track down municipal road project plans. Municipalities often do not have the staffing resources to commit to these utility coordination tasks. The result is that utility projects often conflict with municipal roadway projects, causing delays in work, additional costs, and excessive street cuts.

Municipalities often respond with street cut moratoriums, or guarantees, to limit utility access to the public right-of-way. Without giving utility companies adequate notice or information, these moratoriums  can prevent needed maintenance work and limit the ability to add service lines to new customers. Envista’s unique solutions  enables utilities, municipalities and highway agencies to exchange construction and maintenance project information online and real time. For utility companies, it solves the problem of cities and towns providing insufficient or out-of-date planning information. By making it easy and cost-effective for municipalities and highway agencies, utility companies benefit in important ways.
