Acefat is a company created in 1990 to coordinate subterranean public works related with networks (gas, electricity, water, communication) previous to Olympic Games of Barcelona in 1992 and is still nowadays, in charge of coordinating & managing these works. Acefat is also providing a platform called EWise to deliver information of networks for all Catalonia, within a single Web application.
eWise is an innovative Web solution that facilitates to exchange information about the underground infrastructures. When a work on the street has to be done it is mandatory to know detailed information about subterranean utilities & local administration infrastructures (electrical, gas, water, communication) and Ewise allows to get it in few minutes.
Inspire & OGC services are keys in this process as the solution is based on WFS, WMS in order to guarantee interoperability between central application eWise and utilities-Public organizations GIS systems (Barcelona Municipality, GAS Natural, Endesa, AGBAR ,etc..). Thanks to that eWise concentrates updated “live” utilities network information and facilitates it in certified printed pdf maps and in vector formats (GML, SHAPE, CAD) to the user that request the information.
At same time utilities companies get from Acefat WFS service information of works on streets to be done and that may be close to theirs infrastructures.
