Staking in CrescentLink Project Planner

[Music] hello everyone wanted to take a little bit of time and show you a little staking project I've been working on just kind of go through the steps I follow to do staking utilizing ESRI christen Linke and project planner just going to take a few minutes and kind of show you how I go through and set things up not going to get too much into the details of the drawing you guys all know how to draw but just kind of want to show you the functionality that's available to you as you're as you're doing and engineering these type projects so first thing I want to do is as you can see here I have my map with with just blank roads getting ready to start first thing we always recommend is creating a work order so you can track your projects have everything ready you know to have everything tagged to your features being able to change your statuses all that works through the work order manager so first thing I want to do is start an editing session so I wanna start an editing session you now I want to create a my work order so I want to go to the work order manager click my little arrow here and I'm just going to call this project give it a description of fiber project sign it to me they decide today today you could also use the drop-down no just want to save that okay now that I've got that work order saved now what I want to do is make sure it's turned on so I use my magnifying glass find the project it's select now you can see up here in purple that the project on that means anything I draw or doing the map from from here on out it's tagged with that project now that I've got my my roads I'm ready to stake so what we've got we've got some guys out in the field and they're using Ezra collector to actually collect data in the field so I'm just looking at a blank map I really don't know I kind of get an idea of where they're starting they're starting in this area but I want to see what data they're bringing so I'm going to come over here and just turn on my feature services to see what they're collecting and you can see that that there they're collecting pad locations pretty much down this route here just kind of take a look at that so you can see what they're doing they're starting up your pet one and they're just kind of working down getting ped locations if you also notice there's a zoom in here they're actually collecting a bore location where they want to where they want to place boars certain things like that so this is information that's actually coming in from the field through the ArcGIS online collector app that you could set up do this so now that I kind of got the information coming in from the field now I want to create a station line for this route so if you're unfamiliar station lines station lines are basically just a line that you can that you could draw down the middle of the road to to give you measurements so if you if you've ever driven down the road or seen sheets that say 0 0 + 50 0 + 1 + 0 0 1 + 50 so on so it's it's marking these what we call stations every 50 feet so I've already kind of got that drawn out but what I want to show you is to draw the station line I just I just create a station line and draw it down the middle of my route you can kind of see the red line here okay it goes all the way down my route now once I get that drawn now what I want to do is use the ESRI feature over here to make that line a route and when I make it a route what that allows me to do is now to add hashes and what that means is if I come over here and look at the properties station this up right quick go to hatches you can see that you got different settings here four hatches you can do it differently by class you can have different symbols so on and so forth but what that does is allows you to put these measurements on your on the station line that you create so if i zoom in here you'll be able to see the stations I get into a range so you say I'll start here at 0 50 100 150 so on all the way down the rail not so now and I've kind of got the measurement line laid out for my route the next thing I want to do is start turning on any facilities that I want a reference so you may have data in your map that has existing facilities may be existing splice points house locations different things like that so now that I kind of see where the field guys are going up measurement lines I want to start turning on my reference points so I'm going to turn on my existing plant my just a copper plant my existing fiber and my existing splice weights mystics place so now you can see I've got all my reference data in here so this is stuff that's actually already in my map in my system gonna be kind of drawing and referencing it so now this is where it gets a little tricky so those of you who are used to designing and engineering AutoCAD some of the some of the things you lose in in staking in a GIS format is the double-edged sword of scale so scale is a great thing until you get into closing and then when you have to start spreading things out you lose a little bit of scale in one direction where you gain it in the other so when we're talking about stating Telekom we always want our horizontal scale to be great which is the route hence the station marks on the route what you lose is what I call the vertical scale or from the centerline off because as you start spreading these facilities out you lose that reference scale to to a sense but you still want to you still want to represent it you still want to draw it clearly so your contractors and see what's going on alright so now that I've got my facilities located what I want to do now is create right away and I'll show you what those look like and then I'll show you how I created so turned on my right away lines and you can see I've just got these hash lines marking the right away of route I'm bill and the way I do that is I actually choose my station line that I drew down the middle and you can come up here to the editor drop-down and do a copy parallel once you get those on you can turn you can select right away and you can select your distance off of the center line that you want to create that right away all right you could do it on one side of the road the left or the right or on both sides so what I did is just chose the both sides of the road and worked it out to where all of my facilities would be within the right away and I would have some area here to draw my my new facilities so now that I've got my my right away station lines and my existing facilities on what I want to do now is start looking at the field data that has come in specifically the pads first all right now as you can see these pads are actually GPS located in the field so they've taken this point it's coming in as an accurate GPS point but my spawn reference here again is a little off skill for that so what I want to do is just take this as a general location kind of in this area as a reference point to where the field guys want me to set this pad and I want to draw it in to just kind of to be able to be seen on the staking sheets but not necessarily reference you may want to have it exactly referenced and that's perfectly fine it's all a preference of how you're drawing you now but I'm gonna offset it a little bit so I'm going to turn on my new pedestal so you can see where I've placed the map and so I placed it back here just out of the way to where we've got some room to kind of see how everything's going on in that location so if I scale back out here you can see pedestal here I just kind of moved it back to the right away here here here so on and so forth so I placed my pedestals in reference to where the field information was coming in to see where exactly where they wanted me the place got my pedestal locations now what I want to do is find my place the boards that it came in from the feet so what I want to do is come over here and turn on my path as you can see I've symbolized 4-inch pipe 2-inch pipe as well as culverts that we've collected in the field want to turn those on and you can see those drawn in the map and the way I do it is just kind of draw them most most construction projects require you to be at the back of the right away but I just kind of draw those in specifically to the reference points that the guys at the field are given given to me as well as the distances that they're showing so now that I've kind of got my pads located the bores located the path of the construction lines located I'm just going to turn these reference points off so my mount does it continue to get cluttered and you can see that the project is starting to kind of come together you see the board's the add locations so now what I've got to do is draw my facility so the new facilities that I want to draw in so I went ahead and kind of worked this whole project out but just want to show you how what the new facilities would look like so I've got those in red and I've drawn them brutha map connecting into the pedestals following my bores all the way down this project so if i zoom out a little bit you can kind of see the path kind of Falls around following the right away hitting the pedestal locations boards where necessary and all the way down to the very end of the project down here so now that I've got all my facilities drawn in and got these added to my database got them tagged with my work order one of the neat things with work order manager here is that we can actually come into this work order pull that work order up this window and we can see all the features that we've put in so all the cable the quantities hand holes the pedestal locations the bores the footages all of this is being is being kept in this in this manner here the good thing about this is when I want to update the status so if I'm using this as a tracking mechanism so I want to take this from propose to construction or from construction to splicing or from splicing to asbill I can come in here and select certain part of the project or I could do the entire thing so I just go to update status I can choose us obviously a customized domain here to change my status and then I can do selected records or the entire work border so that lets me can I help symbolize based on status of the project so now once I've got my facilities drawn everything's in the database got my work order tag now what I want to do is pull up project planner so project planner is the staking kind of instruction sheet Billo materials function of Crescent link that we use to to design and build projects so I want to come in here do the same thing create this work order for project planner we'll say project 1 sign to Bruce today let's pick the date for these just to show you the flexibility of that and then only hit say all right so now once I've got that project created what I want to do is pull that project up and you'll see that I've already gone through and placed our staking sheets along this route so you can see those pull up there's as the map draws in you can see the sheets and the way we do that is is simply this little feature right here you go in here and I'm using custom sheets so I'm going to select best and then you select the scale you want to use now this is the the neat thing is you can use one scale all the way through or you can mix and match scale so if you've got a maybe you've got a long run of cable where nothing's really happening so you want to kind of do a bigger scale I like the one to fifty scale just the engineering me it's good a good reference scale it doesn't over populate sheets just kind of a personal preference but once you pick the scale you want when you go into the map here you can see that your cursor changes and you have a little outline and what you would do is just come along this route zoom in here I'll show you how to kind of work the staking sheet what you do is you right-click holding the sheet you see the little dog ears and let you reference the sheet in any direction that you want so as telecom engineers we like to draw everything left to right from central office out I'm going to turn it there so the dog ears let me know that's the top of the sheet so the feed is coming in from top to bottom based on and then once I let go with a the right click you see the sheet stays in that reference and I can just come in here once I get it lined up where I want left click to set the sheet and then you notice the sheet stays in the last reference that you do so if you're going down a road you could just click click click click add sheets down through there when you get ready to change the reference the orientation again simply right click get the dog gears and you can adjust the orientation okay so now that I've got my sheets laid out along my route now what I want to do is start placing work operations so work operations are the unit's the construction units that we're going to be adding to the sheets and so you can see I've got some of them already down here I've got a pedestal I've got the cable footage and basically this is from this location to that location so cable with the footage pedestal a four-inch direction will bore and a crown rod so that's all the units I want to capture at that location and so what that does is gets puts into a work operation that you can see right here you can see multiple operations on other sheets and then I'll turn that on just so you can see what it looks like so you can see I have it symbolized as a star and then the labels have the units that correspond to the units that are down here now if I want to add a unit I can simply come in here click Add unit I could add a unit from the map so if I wanted to select this feature I could click on a feature in the map to add to that work operation and if I wanted to add a unit I can always do this through our material catalog I can go to them catalog I've got a engineering consulting vendor a sheet here I'm using looking at our US units so I could come in here and add a unit from from this way as well so several different ways to populate these these work operations units also you can see here if I wanted to add instructions I could add instructions in here that would also show up on the unit in the map the fun thing about project planner is when you don't want to see it you just simply turn it off and and all of that stuff doesn't get populated into your map you can see the work operations went away the sheets went away but they're never really far away you just go back turn it on and all of that information will come back you now this is the part the part of the project where I would go through I could add annotations I could add dimensions to my project as well so if I wanted to put call-outs simply do a call-out and come over here and select the type call-out I want which is going to do a liter I could add my text and then when I come in here so right there it just says text I've been here and said it now I can put these call-outs I'm just going to set it right there I use your editor to rotate it however you want made it kind of square with sheet and then if I wanted to drag my leader again edit text I just simply grab the leader line put it up here and now I have text call-outs that that I can add to my stake in sheet as well getting with dimensions and kind of do the same thing so if I wanted to maybe measure you know add a dimension from here to here it's simply come in here at the dimension in the attribute table I could use my my drama link so that the mention length here shows 113 feet or I could use a custom value and say that that's a hundred feet and then what I have to do is commit these so once I make that change and then here into the attribute table and say it and now when you look at that dimension shows a hundred feet from there today so a way that you can use dimensions annotations different things within your sheet too to make it what you're used to again you see the the station lines here that you can use your measurements off of for centerline measurements so lots of neat functionality there so once I kind of go through the project I get everything drawn up the way I want to get it drawn up now I need to to print the sheets because everybody likes to have a set of sheets to take out into the field that's what contractors are used to so we want to print these sheets out maybe just submit for permitting whatever you want to do with it so we're going to use the export feature right here I want to select custom so we have a several different options here we can include the unit summary if we want if we have cost data we can include that or not if we want an index sheet which is the kind of overview map like a key map we can include that or not if we choose to change the resolutions and then on the unit on the tally sheet block I can choose if I want to tally it per stake exceed the account code for the materials part numbers several different options here for that so now what I want to do is just hit export okay so after you export what you have is a PDF package of the staking sheets that you just created so what you have is a cover page that's customizable unit summary of all the units and prices associated with the the project that you just created index map and legend so you can see where the sheets lay out on the map and then your staking sheets so as you can see you've got a tally grid down here at the bottom that has the units emitted by each work operation and totaled up over on the far side here as you go through the sheets you can see that you've got your right away your scales your North arrows everything there that you need to build an efficient fiber project so thanks for taking your time to watch this video and we look forward to speaking to you if you have any questions please reach out thank you [Music]
