Case Study: Buffalo City Municipality achieves accurate sewer data capture and GIS integration with AllyCAD

Buffalo City Municipality - Customer Case Study

Buffalo City Municipality faced a time-consuming and highly detailed challenge of capturing sewer service data and transferring it into GIS, with a strong need for accurate positioning of pipes, manholes, and connections. The municipality needed a practical way to manage large volumes of CAD-based sewer records and support ongoing checks against GPS data, and it used AllyCAD for drawing changes and layered data capture.

AllyCAD helped Buffalo City Municipality organize sewer information into separate layers, export it as Shape Files, and streamline the move from CAD to GIS. This improved accuracy and made it easier to manage and verify records, including night-flow and stormwater ingress investigations. The result was a more efficient workflow and better long-term access to historical infrastructure data for future planning.
