Managing safe excavation near buried utility assets is critical for public safety and network reliability. By automating its \u201cCall Before You Dig\u201d enquiry process with FME, Electra reduced processing time from 156 hours per month to just 4, freeing staff to focus on higher-value GIS tasks while improving accuracy and response times for contractors and other stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:4.6em;margin-bottom:4.6em;max-width:100%;height:1px;background-color:rgb(143, 143, 143);\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1376621340\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-231273948\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h1 class=\"thin-font\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">The Challenge:<\/span> <br \/><\/strong>Manual Processes Straining Resources<\/h1>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-480912818\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">Like utilities worldwide, Electra must protect underground power lines and assets from accidental damage during construction. Contractors rely on \u201cCall Before You Dig\u201d (known locally as <em>beforeUdig<\/em>) to identify buried infrastructure before excavation begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">But Electra\u2019s enquiry process was significantly slowed down by manual GIS workflows. Up to 15 requests arrived each day, with staff spending hours compiling maps and utility reports. Processing times stretched to three or four days, frustrating contractors and placing unsustainable demand on the GIS team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:4.6em;margin-bottom:4.6em;max-width:100%;height:1px;background-color:rgb(143, 143, 143);\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-315611113\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-778917006\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h1 class=\"thin-font\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">The Solution:<\/span> <br \/><\/strong>Automating the Locate Workflow with FME<\/h1>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-410069017\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 110%;\">To streamline operations, Electra engaged Locus.
