Silver Creek Services
Distribution design, GIS, and crews who know what the data is for.
Fifteen years inside the utility industry — designing distribution, building and cleaning the GIS behind it, and collecting the field data both depend on. For electric utilities, cooperatives and the contractors who work for them.
Three things, done by the same person who built the software.
Distribution design
Project-managed, field-tested design work for overhead and underground distribution. Staking sheets, material lists and construction prints that reflect what is actually in the ground, because the field data came from the same shop.
GIS consulting
Esri-based work — ArcGIS, ArcFM, Futura/GIS+ — plus the unglamorous half nobody advertises: reprojection, schema mapping, deduplication, and getting a pole layer into a state your crews will actually trust.
Field data collection
Pole inspections, asset inventory, and as-built capture with GPS and photographs. Delivered as a shapefile or geodatabase your system accepts, in the coordinate system you asked for.
The data and the design are the same problem.
Most design errors are data errors wearing a different hat: a pole that is not where the map says, an as-built that never made it back into the GIS, a layer exported in the wrong projection and quietly trusted anyway. Doing the design, the GIS and the field capture in one place is how those stop compounding — and it is the reason Storm Assessment rejects a shapefile in the wrong coordinate system instead of importing it and being wrong on a map.
