|
| We provide utility companies with various types of Global Positioning System (GPS) units for their field vehicles and patrol aircraft to accurately locate facilities using longitude and latitude coordinates. Proven advantages of using GPS units are that it saves man-hours in locating a facility and most importantly, reduces response time by emergency teams. We can also provide the accuracy of real time differential on the GPS units to locate stationary objects and moving mobile vehicles to an accuracy of better than one meter. Our more sophisticated GPS unit has the capabilities of storing longitude and latitude coordinates and downloading that data into a computer system. |
|
| We enable utility companies to build a flexible and shareable system on a company wide and worldwide basis by linking GPS units to computers using a specialized mapping software. Then, they can create and print customized overlays detailing all of their facilities. The software has the unique ability to display your company’s current paper drawings, plats, blueprints, and as-builts, in addition to NAD 27, NAD 83, and WGS 84 Tiger road/street mapping. The benefits users have received from using our system are increased office and field productivity, compliance with Federal and State regulators, and reduced overhead. |
|
| Generally, we provide sales, installation, training, rental of hardware, custom applications, and technical support for software. In addition to customizing computer and GPS hardware and software for smaller companies, users can share and input data, link to a common database, and allow company standardization on a worldwide basis. Our company offers specialized packages, i.e. GPS units, computer hardware, software, etc., which can be easily tailored to individual company need and budget, with an eye for future expansion. |
|
| As the future unfolds, we are working closely
with the One Call System, a state-wide program (where applicable) requiring notification
to utility companies of impending encroachments. Standardizing an integrated system
between the utility companies and the One Call system will create uniformity in the
processing of data and tracking of facilities throughout the United States. Coupled with
this view to expand services, Global Utility Tracking Systems' priority continues to be to
work with utility/One Call companies to provide to its users the highest performance, best
quality, and most robust and reliable service possible for improved monitoring,
patrolling, and protection of facilities with the highest level of integrity.
