Confined Spaces within water distribution network

TaniaH — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:11:59 GMT

I have been tasked with capturing all the confined spaces in our water system. Our water data is currently in the ArcGIS water utility data model, but I don't see where in the model it is accounted for? Am I missing it or is this something that would be done separately?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You're not missing anything. The data model doesn't include any attributes or features to capture confined spaces. You'd need to add to it to capture that information.

I am in the same situation, we built a new Confined Space Feature Class for our Water Utility and Wastewater Treatment Plant that is outside any of the existing ESRI Data Models. It includes a Domain for the type of confined space: Manhole, Wet Well, Crawlspace, Lift Station, Handhole, and Valve Vault.

Thanks Tim! Basically this is what I ended up doing as well.
