The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 117) Spatially Enabled ProjectWise Environment of Genova Port Autorità Portuale di Genova At approximately 15 kilometers in length, Genoa is one of the busiest harbors in the world. The Italian Genoa Port Authority is responsible for all the assets and operation and land-use planning within its territory. Since data storage had been diskbased, it was time-consuming and cumbersome for the Port Authority’s 200 workers and third parties to access information. The biggest challenge was to allocate staff time for the review and recovering of historical data and reconstruction of project histories — all while keeping the daily work running. Before the ProjectWise implementation, each employee in the technical departments spent 30 to 50 percent of his or her working time locating, copying, and printing existing documents. That time has been cut in half, saving about two hours of work per employee per day. Fitting IRIDE GIS System for Multi-Network Integration IRIDE Energia This project, named New SIT, upgrades the GIS previously in use at IRIDE S.p.A. — formed by the merging of AEM Torino and AMGA Genov — to allow the network planning, customer care, and on-site maintenance departments to share a uniform database (both alphanumeric and graphic) and satisfy the individual needs of each department. The challenge was to achieve the highest level of innovation and advance the integration of the company’s processes and systems. The approach uses work collaboration methods to permit the seamless integration of IT data assets so work processes are optimized and costs reduced. The new system architecture is based on Bentley Geospatial Server, ProjectWise, ProjectWise Connector for Oracle, and Bentley Map, which integrate company and extra-company legacy applications involved in all processes related to networks managed by IRIDE.
