Cables and Pipes
In this course, you will learn how gas and electricity networks are structured and how GIS is used to access and visualize these infrastructures. You will gain insight into how energy companies map and manage their networks and become familiar with Smallworld GIS, the widely used system for mapping pipelines and cables.
Would you like to better understand how energy infrastructure is structured, learn how networks are mapped, and discover how GIS helps visualize and manage these complex systems? In this course, you’ll explore the role of GIS within the energy sector and learn how gas and electricity networks are visualized using modern mapping and data systems.
GIS plays a central role in mapping, recording, and analyzing underground and above-ground assets. From pipes and cables to stations and valves: everything is geographically recorded to enable safe, reliable, and efficient management. Many energy companies use Smallworld GIS for this—a powerful system in which network data is built, consulted, and updated.
In this course, you’ll learn step by step how gas and electricity networks are structured and how to consult, analyze, and visualize these networks using GIS. You’ll also receive a concise introduction to Smallworld GIS, so you’ll understand how the system is used in the day-to-day practice of asset management.
In this course, you’ll work hands-on with the key concepts and functions of GIS within the energy sector. Through this, you’ll also become familiar with the processes and working methods in the energy sector.
You’ll learn how the infrastructure is structured, what components are involved, and how networks are logically interconnected.
You’ll discover how to open map layers, select objects, view attributes, and analyze networks.
Whether you’re new to the energy sector, want to gain more insight into infrastructure, or want to learn how to use GIS for network management: this course provides a solid foundation to get started right away.
This course provides a clear and practical overview of how energy companies map and visualize their networks. You’ll learn not only the theory but, more importantly, how GIS is used to manage infrastructure safely and reliably. By combining network knowledge, GIS skills, and an introduction to Smallworld, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how modern energy networks are digitally supported.
This course is suitable for anyone who works or wants to work in the energy sector and wants to build a foundation in GIS and network management. This includes entry-level GIS specialists, data managers, engineers, work planners, asset managers, and new colleagues who want to better understand energy infrastructure.
