City of Colorado Springs and Colorado Springs Utilities Select Envista
Technology for Infrastructure Project Coordination
BEVERLY, Mass., March 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envista Corporation, a
provider of web-based software for infrastructure project coordination, today
announced Colorado Springs and Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) are the newest
adopters of Envista technology. Colorado Springs is the second-largest city in
the state of Colorado with an estimated population of 407,000 living in an area
of 195 square miles. Colorado Springs Utilities is a community-owned
organization that provides natural gas, electricity, water and wastewater
services to the Pikes Peak region. The municipality and utility will use
Envista's software-as-a-service to manage hundreds of infrastructure
construction and maintenance projects to be performed in the "Right of Way".
Currently, the City has over 700 roadway and storm drain projects displayed in
Envista. CSU plans to add nearly 80 water, gas, electric, and sanitation
projects to the repository as well. The City has large-scale "chip seal" and
overlay paving programs scheduled for 2009 and beyond. Due to the high volume of
projects and the need to reduce conflicts in the field, the use of Envista has
received tremendous support from senior leadership in both City and Utilities
staffs.
From the Colorado Springs Roadway Engineering Team and Streets Maintenance
Division to the Utilities' Energy Services Division, 18 multi-disciplinary
groups responsible for infrastructure renewal will utilize this new, centralized
approach to share and view project schedules, and optimize the timing of their
projects to reduce the impact on the public and commuters.
Brian Kelley, Engineering Programs Manager for Colorado Springs states, "We are
pleased to be using this innovative approach to solve a decades-old problem. The
ability to upload and view project schedules on-the-fly gives our many divisions
the ability to work on miles of infrastructure above and below ground without
stepping on each others toes. Envista makes it easy to get productive in a very
short period of time. The real winners are our citizens who will feel the
positive results of our synchronized construction efforts."
