Introduction: The feasibility study will asses whether a map platform (initially Google earth) will provide a suitable tool for consolidating all Overhead line condition and asset information data in a way which allows for easy access in a geographical format. It will also look at the potential to layer real time information feeds that are available (e.g. met office, environment agency information) over the geographical map lay out. The study will initially focus on one overhead line route; however this will have the scope to be extended nationally and for use by Substations, Land & Development etc., providing a platform for other information including live feeds.

Objectives: This project will investigate data integrity and OHL asset condition management.
