Azertia has specifically designed the FACTS Viewer Public Works XF (eXtended Function) module to:

• Enable comprehensive management and monitoring of public works assets including highway signage, sidewalks and streetlights.

• Address regulatory mandates for GASB 34 by keeping condition assessment and maintenance information on every asset.

• Provide for routine and ad hoc information access and reporting.

• Support  "work flow" based operations update of the asset systems.

Be it sidewalk condition assessment, street cleaning and repair, culvert management and/or signage maintenance, the FACTS XF Public Works module database design provides for the capture and maintenance of the data you need to implement a public works asset management system.

For public works assets, this includes side walks and curbs, highway signage and street lights. 

Finding the Services You Need

Your public works asset management system is only as good as the data you put into your database. Azertia provides an array of services necessary to build and maintain your public works assets.

1.   Conduct a GPS field inventory of street signage. The field work captures the location of the signs, the condition rating for each sign, a detailed description of the asset and optionally a digital picture of the sign. Municipalities use this information to perform signage studies, prioritize maintenance of signs and create web based systems for the public to report signage problems.

2.   Conduct a field inventory of sidewalks and curbs. The field work captures the condition rating for sidewalk and curb segments. A rating is assigned to each section of sidewalk and curb. In the GIS database this information is used to better plan for sidewalk and curb upgrades and improve annual cost estimation to maintain these assets.

3.   Conduct a GPS field inventory of utility poles owned by a municipality. With such a study, municipalities are able to use the database to more accurately charge commercial telephone, cable and/or electric companies that make use of the municipal utility poles. Some clients have seen a dramatic increase in revenues as a result of such projects.

4. Azertia has performed various mapping projects to create parks, recreation, walking/running track and other GIS database layers for municipal mapping systems.
