INTRODUCTION TO UTILITY MAPPING – RTA (2:0)


Understand the utility mapping
• Define the definition of utility mapping
• Explain the history of utility mapping
• List the objectives of utility survey and mapping in
Malaysia
• Explain the role of utility owner, surveyor and Department
of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) in underground
utility mapping
Understand the Utility Quality Level Attributes

• Draw the flow chart of utilities survey process


• Describe the Utility Quality Level Attributes
Definition Of Utility Mapping
Utility Mapping is a term that refers to;
• Location
• Positioning
• Identification of buried pipes and cables.
INTRODUCTION
 Identify the type and
position of underground
utilities through coordinate
offsets

 Identify the type of utilities,


such as features plumbing
type, capacity, trends etc.

 Provide maps / plans for


underground utilities
HISTORY OF UTILITY MAPPING
Jemaah Menteri semasa menimbangkan Memorandum
daripada Menteri Kerja Raya No. 599/1939/94 pada 24
Ogos 1994 yang bertajuk;

“ Masalah Kerja-Kerja Pengalihan Kemudahan Awam


Dalam Rizab Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) ”

Berkaitan masalah gangguan perkhidmatan utiliti akibat


drpd kerosakan saluran utiliti bawah tanah apabila kerja
pengorekan dilakukan tanpa maklumat lokasi utiliti yang
mencukupi atau dengan menggunakan maklumat yang
tidak tepat.
Arahan Kabinet

Jemaah Menteri telah memutuskan supaya:

“ Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan menyimpan peta-peta


(susunatur dan kemudahan awam yang dipasang di
bawah tanah) yang berkaitan di samping agensi-
agensi kemudahan awam itu sendiri. ”
Arahan Kabinet
Dalam mesyuarat pada 14 Feb 1998, Jemaah Menteri telah bersetuju
dengan perakuan Kementerian Tenaga, Telekom dan Pos mengenai
langkah-langkah penyelesaian bagi mengatasi gangguan
perkhidmatan yang diakibatkan oleh perbuatan kontraktor. Antara
langkah-langkah penyelesaian adalah seperti berikut:
 Pihak utiliti dikehendaki mengemaskini semua database utk
membolehkan pemaju memperolehi maklumat yang tepat
sebelum pemasangan paip dan kabel dibuat. Ini membolehkan
JUPEM mengemaskini digitized plan dari masa ke semasa.

 Pelaksanaan GIS hendaklah disegerakan bagi membolehkan


penggunaannya di seluruh negara.
The Objectives

• Why underground utilities are typically tough to


manage?

• Without Accurate Utility Information, What will


happen ?
UNDERGROUND UTILITY DATA

• Electricity Cables ‐ Tenaga Nasional Bhd


• Telecommunication ‐ Telekom Malaysia Bhd
• Water ‐ SYABAS
• GAS ‐ Gas Malaysia Sdn. Bhd
• Sewerage ‐ Indah Water Konsortium Sdn. Bhd
Why underground utilities are typically
tough to manage?
• Underground utilities are not visible and locations may be unknown.
• Available utility records (maps) are often dated and misrepresented
by inaccurate as-built and proposed planning records.
• The positive location of underground utilities requires a thorough
understanding of the underground plant, and an experienced locating
technician skilled at using the most appropriate locating equipment
and techniques.
• Locating equipment requires capital and training.
Without Accurate Utility Information, Damages Can Occur During:

Campus facilities often use tents for events – these can require 3ft+ metal posts. It is important
to create buffer zones prior to set-up to protect underground utilities and prevent damage.

CHALLENGES OF UTILITY DATA REPOSITORIES


Damages Can Occur
Gas line explosions have caused millions of dollars
in damages and fatalities around the country.

Critical underground utility information is vital for


damage prevention purposes.

Real Scenario

Three killed in Texas gas pipe explosion – Telegraph online news ‐ 7 June 2010
An underground natural gas pipeline exploded in rural Texas killing three people and
leaving 10 others missing. Official said it was believed workers had accidentally hit
pipeline while digging.
POSSIBLE REASONS THAT LEAD TO DISASTER

Information on utility position not adequate


• Information (utility map)not accurate
• Utility maps not up‐to‐date
• No utility maps available
• Faulty equipment
• Careless
• misleading information
• misunderstood information
WHAT WOULD A DISASTER CONTROLLER AND RESCUER DO IN THE SITUATION?

• Turning off valves feeding gas to the section

• What sections?

• Route of pipelines? Pipelines cross‐crossing

• Where are the valves located?

• Existence of other utilities nearby?

• Utility maps? Is there any?


WHAT CAN BE LEARNED FROM
ACCIDENT?

• Need Accurate Utility Map

• Where to Get It?

• Which Authority In Charge?


Scope Of Works
STEP 1:
REVIEW EXISTING RECORDS

The accuracy of today’s advanced locating and


STEP 2: GPS-enabled receivers is unprecedented. Most
LOCATE UTILITIES lines can be now be located and traced within a
few centimeters of their true positions.

STEP 3:
GPS MARKED LINES

Role of utility owners
 enables surveyors to access existing underground utility records

 Furnish existing underground utility information with its metadata


for inclusion into underground utility database

 Furnish information on utility relocation for maintenance of


underground utility database

 Ensure all new underground utility installation attain quality level A

Role of surveyors
Conduct utility survey and prepare underground utility
maps
 Provide consultation to utility owners
 Indicate quality level of each utility surveyed
 Certify utility maps
Standard Guideline for Underground Utility
Mapping
Role of JUPEM
Create, populate and maintain underground
utility database with:-
 utility data provided by utility owners
 utility data collected by JUPEM
 digital cadastral data and topographic
data to form large scale base map
Utility Quality Level Attributes
Quality Level D
 The position of buried utilities based on design plans or sketches
 For utilities where quality level is not known
 Lowest quality level
Quality Level D
Quality Level D
Quality Level C

 Better than quality level D


 The position or alignment of buried utilities is based on surface features

valve

valve

T.R.
Quality Level B
 Better than quality level C
 The position of buried utilities is determined and marked on the surface by geophysical
methods
 The position of the marks is surveyed to the accuracy of 10 cm
Quality Level B
Quality Level B
Quality Level A
 Better than quality level B

 The position of buried utilities is determined by exposing the utilities by intrusive


excavation methods at specific locations

 The horizontal and vertical location is surveyed reference to the approved datum

 The position of utilities is surveyed


during installation

 Survey done to the accuracies at 10cm


or better

 Highest quality level
