Investigation by DCPUD, IBEW, and Washington L&I

– Cable tagging procedures need to be improved

Page 6: Tagging Underground Utility Cables in Esri & Schneider Electric GIS

3 Different Tagging Systems

– Yellow vinyl tags with handwriting

– Red, white, blue tags with handwriting

– 6 digit tag showing where cable terminated

Page 7: Tagging Underground Utility Cables in Esri & Schneider Electric GIS

4 digit unique tag number for UG Primary Cable

Assign tag number in designs and sessions

Assign tag number after design approval status

Retain tag number on replacements in designs

Retain tag number on source side when splitting UG Primary Cable in designs and sessions

– Generate new tag number on non-source side

Enable non-GIS staff to generate new tag number

– Tag number emailed to GIS editor

4 digit unique tagging system

– One tagging system for all of DCPUD

Centralized management of tag numbers in GIS

– One system for generation and assignment

– Displaying tag numbers in Desktop and Mobile GIS for improved communication between operations and field crews

– Improved tagging procedures for a safer DCPUD work environment
