adjust.IT Utility Network Conflation

The key benefits of utility network conflation are:

1. Improved Data Accuracy

• Reduces spatial inconsistencies between different data sources
• Corrects positional errors in legacy utility data
• Creates a more precise representation of utility asset locations
• Helps identify and resolve data discrepancies between sources

2. Enhanced Network Analysis

• Enables better connectivity analysis between different utility systems
• Improves tracing and flow analysis capabilities
• Allows for more accurate capacity and demand modeling
• Facilitates better understanding of interdependencies between utilities

3. Operational Benefits

• Streamlines maintenance planning and field operations
• Reduces risks during excavation and construction
• Improves emergency response capabilities
• Enables better coordination between different utility providers

4. Cost Savings

• Reduces duplicate data collection efforts
• Minimizes field verification requirements
• Lowers the risk of utility strikes during construction
• Decreases maintenance costs through better planning

5. Better Decision Support

• Provides a more complete picture for infrastructure planning
• Supports more accurate asset management
• Enables better risk assessment and mitigation strategies
• Facilitates more informed capital investment decisions

6. Integration Benefits

• Creates a unified dataset for multiple stakeholders
• Improves data sharing between organizations
• Enables better integration with other GIS systems
• Supports smart city initiatives and digital twin development

7. Regulatory Compliance

• Helps meet utility mapping requirements
• Supports compliance with dig-safe regulations
• Improves documentation for regulatory reporting
• Assists in meeting environmental protection requirements

Utilities and telcos world-wide struggle with the task of maintaining their networks in reference to a changing land base.

Our proprietary adjust.IT software and delivery methodology improves asset information’s spatial accuracy through Conflation and advanced spatial Data Analytics.

Our solution increases the efficiency of network management, optimization, and performance.

With the academic origins of the approach going back to the early 80’s, adjust.IT has evolved into the #1 conflation solution since first commercial release in 2000 with more than 400 million coordinates successfully adjusted to-date.

Where simple “rubber sheeting” techniques fail, we are able to adjust highly inhomogeneous vector and raster data to any number of control points whilst preserving the network shape – using a mathematically rigorous least-squares adjustment, sparse matrix algebra and Natural Neighbourhood interpolation.

Available on

• ArcGIS Pro,
• ArcMap (including ArcFM),
• ArcGIS Online and
