AWWA ACE90004

This paper describes the underground mapping system for NASA's Lewis Research Center in Ohio. The center covers 350 acres, and modifications to the underground utility system are frequent. Many of the system drawings have been revised more than 30 times, rendering them difficult to read. A mapping system developed at the University of Akron (Ohio) was used to convert the drawings to a computerized mapping system. The paper details how the system was converted and describes the final results. In addition to basic maps, custom color plots will be available: at any scale, of any area, in a range of colors, and of any combination of the 85 designated layers. Future enhancements include additional layers, and programming to allow the maps to be updated without use of a pencil or by manually digitizing survey data. Add-on programs have been used for analysis on the water system, and will be used for analysis of three sewer systems. Management programs for water, sewer, and pavement, are also being considered.
