Abstract

In this presentation I will demonstrate the ways we have streamlined our fire hydrant flushing & inspection process at the City of DeKalb using GIS.After some quick background on the way things were done in the past I will demonstrate and explain how we created a custom mobile application that allows field crews to easily report the results of their inspections. This will include Map Viewer, Experience Builder and various Arcade expressions we used to further increase efficiency. Next, I will show how the results of those inspections are viewed in real-time in a dashboard and used to dispatch crews to fix issues and track progress. Finally, we will discuss the benefits we have realized as a result of deploying this solution.
