PODS 7.0 Integration with Utility Network

[TechnoBowl72]

Assuming PODS 7 is your authoritative data source, and you are integrating it with the UN for Gas – I see how the Centerline can replace Pipeline in the UN so your data from PODS 7.0 is used in the UN network for connectivity and all the other great features of the UN. My question here is how is the rest of your data in PODS 7.0 implemented into the UN, such as valves, or fittings so that you do not just see your Pipes in a UN environment, but you can see your network as a whole? Is it assigned in a similar way that the Centerline à Pipelines are? So, your Valves would go to Junction or Device and same with Fittings?

@TechnoBowl72 The PODS organization is yet to officially release PODS 7.0.2 with Utility Network Support. The core structure of the ArcGIS Utility Network consists of one Structure Network and one or many Domain Networks.    

Conceptually, the Utility Network implementation pattern for PODS is demonstrated as in the following example:

PODS	UN
Pipe Segment	Pipeline Line
Valve, Compressor	Pipeline Device
Coupling, Weld	Pipeline Junction
Pig Structure, Pump Station	Pipeline Assembly
Pipe Support, Anchor	Structure Junction
Pipe Station, Processing Facility	Structure Boundary
Casing	Structure Line

This is just a high-level schematic on how PODS will support Utility Network. This implementation pattern is complementary to supporting linear referencing and/or ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing. Please review the full model documentation once PODS 7.0.2 is released.
