Overview
Make Ready engineering is one of the most time-consuming and document-intensive processes in utility operations. FCC One-Touch Make-Ready rules have compressed timelines while multiplying coordination requirements. Power-View manages the entire workflow — from field survey and pole loading analysis through permit applications, attacher coordination, and construction tracking — all tied to your live GIS asset data without switching between systems.
Before Power-View, make ready jobs required separate tools for field data collection, pole loading, coordination, permit documentation, and construction tracking. Each handoff between tools lost data and created version confusion. Power-View consolidates the full workflow: field crews survey on mobile, engineering runs loading analysis on the same records, permit packages generate automatically, and construction milestones track against the original schedule. When the job closes, as-built updates flow back to GIS automatically without any manual re-entry.
What’s included
✓Field survey data collection via Power-View mobile app with full offline capability for remote locations
✓GPS-accurate asset positioning for every surveyed pole linked directly to the Power-View GIS record
✓Pole loading analysis for proposed attachment scenarios calculated against the survey field data
✓Joint-use coordination workflow with attacher communication tracking and full timestamp audit history
✓One-Touch Make-Ready compliant documentation package generation for each attachment project
✓Permit application records with engineering attachments and clearance calculation evidence included
✓Construction milestone tracking with field crew assignment and sequential sign-off workflows
✓Final as-built updates written automatically back to Power-View GIS records at project closure
