Users Group
Agenda

USGS Data in
PLS-CADD
|
|
Use readily available digital data for preliminary line designs.
Discussions will be led on how to find, download, and import mostly free USGS data from the Internet into PLS-CADD. This can be used for a
variety of purposes from routing selection to preliminary line construction estimating to alternative base maps for final production drawings. The techniques used to import this data can be
used for a wide variety of other formats such as digital aerial photography and existing utility GIS maps and information.

|
Using FLI-MAP™ Data in PLS-CADD
|
|
Learn how to import and interpret data collected from aerial laser survey methods such as FLI-MAP™ and
others.
Utilizing these methods, utilities can gather existing as-built information quickly and using PLS-CADD, clearance violation under
anticipated maximum operating temperatures can be accurately determined and mitigated.
