ESRI MODULE
Get connected with the NEW ESRI Module and increase productivity! Granite XP, GIS Mapping, Infrastructure Management, and what it means to you! Developed by CUES, Granite XP is a comprehensive pipeline condition assessment software solution for the Water/ Wastewater industry that now offers a flexible bi-directional interface to ESRI ArcGIS products!
a map. Granite XP stores the map-based data in layers, with each layer containing a single specific type of data. Those data layers then can be manipulated and analyzed, either individually or in combination with other layers.
The Granite XP ESRI module provides an integrated solution to create and analyze infrastructure data. The Granite XP Map View module allows users to view and access assets located within GIS maps to perform inspections, collect and integrate GPS coordinates, and review all asset history.
The Granite XP ESRI module is an alternative that saves money! The Granite XP software helps municipalities and contractors meet GASB 34/ CMOM regulatory requirements by enabling a proactive maintenance management program that’s fully integrated into ArcGIS. Users can accurately map, create, and build infrastructure in a cost-effective way regardless of whether a large GIS enviroment already exists!
The system is able to collect, store, display, manipulate, analyze data, and then link the information to locations on
More features, More functionality! Synchronize ArcGIS assets with Granite XP! - Import Main, Sewer, and Lateral Asset information from ArcGIS to Granite XP - Export Main, Sewer, and Lateral Asset information to ArcGIS from Granite XP Mapping Operations! Display and create projects/assets using the Map View in Granite XP: - zoom to specific assets and select features using the mouse - link Water/Wastewater data to an overall GIS strategy - display map document files that were created in ArcGIS - open the desired asset - open the most current inspection of the selected asset - create a new project for the selected asset - locate the asset that’s been selected in the Granite XP navigation pane on the map Supports GPS devices! An optional GPS module is available to work in conjunction with the ESRI module! Store observation coordinates in Granite XP!

Map View Module Benefits & Features The revolutionary flexibility of Granite XP comes from the use of software plug-ins. Plug-ins provide the ability to add new features to Granite XP so that the core application can continually grow and accept new technologies as they enter the industry. The Map View plug-in is an optional module in Granite XP that provides the ability to link Water/Wastewater data to an overall GIS strategy. •

Display map document files that were created in ArcGIS; the selected map document file will immediately be loaded and saved as default for future use. Supports MXD (Map Documents) and PMF (Published Map) file types. Select specific features on the map using the mouse! Zoom to specific assets that have been selected in the Project Navigator tree! Select the most recent TV inspection of the asset corresponding to the map feature currently selected on the map Initiate a new project from a Main Asset that’s been selected in Map View (Granite XP) Create new inspections for a new project.

Synchronize your Granite XP asset data with ESRI ArcGIS and vice-versa! ArcGIS stores spatial data in different data types: databases, shapefiles, coverages, geometry networks, layer files, and more! With the ESRI module, Granite XP and ArcGIS data can be synchronized! For ease-of-use, the Granite XP ESRI module includes a unique synchronization wizard that’s designed to import and export asset data to/from Granite XP and ArcGIS. The following synchronization options are provided with the system: •
Import asset data and coordinates from ArcGIS to Granite XP. Assets of any type can be imported to the Granite XP database from the corresponding layers in ArcGIS.
•
Export asset data and coordinates from Granite XP to ArcGIS. Assets of any type can be exported from Granite XP database to the corresponding layers in ArcGIS.

GPS Module Benefits & Features The GPS module works with the pipeline data acquisition system, ESRI interface, and TV inspection system to perform numerous beneficial operations: •
• •
•
•
The GPS module connects to the GPS receiver device, extracts the current coordinates from the device output, and shares the information with other data acquisition system components. The GPS module supports the NMEA-0183 compatible GPS receivers working through the COM (RS-232) hardware interface. Display and obtain the current GPS coordinate(s) for the following objects: • the single coordinate of the Sewer Node • two coordinates of the Main Asset or Lateral Asset’s connection and end points • the single coordinate of a specific observation Obtain an estimation of the intermediate location based on the known coordinates of the upstream and downstream sewer nodes and known footage and lengths The toolbar displays the current state and coordinate that’s transmitted by the GPS receiver.
.................................................. The ESRI module supports GPS devices with the optional GPS module!
..................................................
The Granite XP GPS module provides the ability to obtain the current coordinates of the Sewer Node, Main and Lateral Assets in three different ways: • GPS receiver directly connected with the PC • Enter the end points to obtain estimated coordinates • Enter GPS coordinates manually
With the ArcGIS import/export wizard, select the GIS source, filters, and features based on your needs! Importing Assets from ArcGIS to Granite XP:
Exporting Assets from Granite XP to ArcGIS:
The Import from ArcGIS synchronization option imports the following information to Granite XP:
The Export Assets to ArcGIS synchronization option exports selected Sewer Main assets and, if needed, the related upstream and downstream Sewer Nodes and Lateral assets. The following asset information can be exported to ArcGIS:
• •
selected Sewer Main assets, Lateral Assets and, if needed, the related upstream and downstream Sewer Node data from ArcGIS to Granite XP. the asset is converted into data that is compatible with the geographic coordinate system
If the asset does not exist in the database, a new asset is created in Granite XP. If the asset already exists in the database, the asset is updated with the new properties and coordinates based on the field’s mapping properties!
• •
Attached Assets – assets that were imported from GIS or previously exported to GIS that already have an ArcGIS ID. Unattached Assets – assets that were created “in the field” in Granite XP that do not already have an ArcGIS ID. A new asset is created in the corresponding GIS based on the Granite XP properties.

1
Import asset information from ArcGIS to Granite XP Display, create, and update projects/assets using the Map View module Export updated asset information from Granite XP to ArcGIS
After importing feature classes from ArcGIS to Granite XP, the assets and sewer nodes will be displayed in the Project Navigator tree. Use the Map View pane to select the features that were imported to Granite XP with a mouse-click!
2
Click on an asset in the Project Navigator and the corresponding asset will become selected on the map! Retrieve asset information by selecting an object in the map! Load recently completed main asset’s and lateral asset’s TV inspections into the corresponding pane! Select one or several features in the map and generate new inspections for the Main Assets! Create new projects from a section of the Map! Create new inspections for a new/existing project!
