Case Study: Wales & West Utilities improves asset location accuracy with AMT-SYBEX

Wales & West Utilities maps gas assets to the centimetre with AMT-SYBEX

Wales & West Utilities, a gas distribution network serving Wales and the southwest of England, faced the challenge of upgrading the accuracy of its asset data as it replaced old gas mains. The company needed a solution to precisely map its new plastic pipes to ensure future maintenance would be safer and more efficient. To address this, they partnered with vendor AMT-SYBEX.

AMT-SYBEX implemented a mobile digital data capture solution utilizing high-precision GNSS equipment. This allowed field engineers to map each new asset to its exact coordinates, capturing critical data digitally. The solution eliminated paper-based processes, saved time for both field and back-office teams, and enabled data to be transmitted from the field in seconds instead of days. The high accuracy of the data provided by AMT-SYBEX reduced the risk of errors and ensured the company would always know the precise location of its pipes.
