App 3 – the excavation planning manager
The excavation planning manager is a tool that we will be writing to help
construction designers plan their excavation for utilities and telecom networks. The
application analyzes the underlying soil type and green area to find out the cost of
removing these areas by doing extensive spatial analysis and editing. Note that we
will require the Standard license for this example.
When utility and telecom companies want to lay out their underground assets,
cables, and pipes, they need to excavate the ground first. This is a challenging task
since there are different types of soil and each has special kind of machinery and
equipment, and, therefore, cost.
YharanamCo is a construction contractor experienced in executing efficient and
economical excavations for utility and telecom companies. When YharanamCo's
board of directors heard of ArcGIS technology, they wanted to use their expertise
with the power of ArcGIS to come up with a solution that could help them cut costs
even more. Soil type is not the only factor in excavation; there are many factors
including the green factor, where you need to preserve the trees and green area
while excavating for visual appealing. Using ArcGIS, YharanamCo can determine
the soil type and green factor and calculate the cost of an excavation.
The excavation planning manager is the application you will be writing on top
of ArcGIS. This application will help YharanamCo create multiple designs and
scenarios for a given excavation. This way they can compare the cost for each one
and how many trees they could save by going through another excavation route.
YharanamCo has provided us with the geodatabase of the soil and trees data for one
of their new projects for our development.
In Chapter 8, App 3 – Advanced ArcObjects, since we will create excavations on
the map, we will learn the geodatabase editing. We will then add a tool to
draw polygons using ArcObjects drawing tools. Then we will view and edit the
excavations that we created.
In Chapter 9, Excavation Cost Calculation, the actual advanced spatial analysis and cost
estimation happens. We will write this cost calculation module that uses the soil and
trees layers and excavation. This is why we require the Standard license to perform
such advanced spatial analysis.
In Chapter 10, Saving and Retrieving Excavation Designs, we will propel our application.
We will group multiple excavations into a design. We will then allow the user to
create multiple designs. The user can open, close, edit, compare, and delete designs.
Each design will be a dedicated geodatabase; therefore, we will be making copies
and dealing with multiple geodatabases at once. It will be a great experience.
