Create cost surface

A raster is required to perform the leak logger analysis. This surface is built from the water network and a table with acoustic distance information to detect leaks. These distances are calculated using the type of pipe and diameter. Using an ArcGIS Desktop geoprocessing model, you will generate the CombinedCostSurface dataset to support the planning tools.

  1. Open the LeakLoggerPlanner.mxd.
  2. Open the AcousticDistance table, and review the listening distance by material type and size break.
  3. Open the Leak Logger Planner toolbox.
  4. Edit the 1 - Generate Leak Logger Cost Raster and review the process.
  5. Close and run the geoprocessing model by accepting the defaults, correcting any paths that are not valid.

2

Reset existing plan

The 3 - Leak Logger Planner geoprocessing model stores the geoprocessing results in a set of planning layers. To reset these, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the LeakLoggerPlanner.mxd.
  2. Open the Leak Logger Planner toolbox.
  3. Run the 2 - Clean Planning Layers geoprocessing model.
2 - Clean Planning Layers tool in ArcMap

3

Create logger placement plan

Using the CombinedCostSurface raster you created for your water network, you can select a set of assets on which to place the leak listening devices. You can then run the Leak Logger Planner geoprocessing model and see the potential coverage area. To develop a plan, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the LeakLoggerPlanner.mxd.
  2. Open the AcousticDistance table and review the listening distances by material type and size threshold.
  3. Open the Leak Logger Planner toolbox.

  4. Run the 3 - Leak Logger Planner and add a few Leak Loggers that will be snapped to the nearest asset.
  5. Once complete, you can see the coverage results stored in the Logger Areas and Logger Placements layers.

4

Publish leak logger data

When you have finished planning the leak logger deployments, share the leak logger plans with your ArcGIS organization. To publish the data, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the LeakLoggerPlanner.mxd.
  2. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
  3. Open the Leak Logger Planner toolbox.
  4. Run the 4 - Publish Data to Service geoprocessing model to append the data to your LeakLoggerResults feature service.

5

Update a loggers information and trigger the email notification

In the field or in the office, you can update the information on the logger devices. To update the data, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Leak Logger map in Collector for ArcGIS or the Leak Logger Information app.
  2. Select and change a logger's status to Leak Present.

6

Reset your logger data

Once you are done with a logger deployment, you can reset or remove the data from the service to get it ready for the next deployment scenario.  To delete the data, complete the following steps:

  1. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
  2. Open the Leak Logger Planner toolbox.
  3. Run the 5 - Delete Data from Service.
  4. Once complete, the data will be removed from the layers in your organization.
5 - Delete Data from Service tool in ArcMap
