Three problems we solve

We know them from the day-to-day work of network maintenance teams.

Knowledge scattered and kept "in people's heads"

Paper maps, files on disks and the experience of individual employees. GIS merges this into one, always up-to-date source covering the entire network - available to every department from a single screen.

Slow response to failures

Manually picking valves from a paper map and consulting several people costs time and cuts off customers. In seconds, GIS shows which valves to close and who will lose water.

Manual reporting to the authority

Preparing data in the K-GESUT format and industry reports is tedious, error-prone work. GIS prepares it automatically, with a completeness check before submission.

Who GIS is for

Dispatchers and maintenance teams

People responding to failures - who need a network map with valve isolation analysis: which valves to close and which customers will lose water.

Surveying and GIS departments

People maintaining records and reporting to authorities - who need compliance with K-GESUT, Polish coordinate systems and GUGiK base maps.

Management and investment planning

People responsible for renovations, modernizations and multi-year budgets - who need reports on the age and condition of the assets and a reproducible network history.

What GIS can do

Six areas in one system - Map, Inventory, Analyses, Protection zones, Editing, Reports.

Interactive network map

Network objects over official maps and aerial imagery: orthophoto, BDOT10k topography, OpenStreetMap and a dark mode. Thematic layers with adjustable visibility and transparency.

Valve isolation analysis

The core of operational value. You point to the damaged section and the system returns which valves to close, the list of cut-off customers and the isolation area on the map. Failure response in seconds instead of hours.

Flow tracing and service area

Where water flows into a point from and where it will go, what area and how many customers a given source serves. Topology validation checks the correctness of connections - the foundation of reliable analyses.

Object inspector

One click opens the full record: attributes (diameter, material, year of construction, condition, data source), related objects and documents - scans, protocols and designs, virus-scanned before saving.

History and audit log

Every version of an object with date and author, with the ability to go back in time and preview it on the map. Changes go into an immutable log - it is always clear who changed what and when.

Safe team editing

Editing sessions with locking of concurrent changes, diff preview and conflict detection and resolution. Objects are not deleted, only versioned and rolled back - nothing is lost.

K-GESUT export for the authority

Preparation of network data in the K-GESUT format required by the surveying authority (GUGiK), with a completeness check before submission. A statutory obligation met quickly and without formal errors.

Ready-made industry reports

Network inventory, age analysis, object card, maintenance schedule, renewal plan, water and sewer statement, failure report - with one click, exported to PDF, XLSX, CSV and GML.

Intake protection zones

Recording and visualization of direct and indirect protection zones around intakes together with attributes (legal basis, dates, restrictions). Support for protecting drinking-water quality and for field approvals.

Why GIS

What sets GIS apart from paper maps and foreign systems.

Water and sewer emergency analyses

Valve isolation with a ready list of valves to close and cut-off customers is the function dispatchers look for most often - a plan in seconds instead of manual picking from a paper map.

Native compliance with Polish law

K-GESUT, the PL-1992 and PL-2000 coordinate systems, GUGiK base maps (orthophoto, BDOT10k, EGiB, GESUT) - built in. Foreign systems require costly adaptation; here the data immediately "speaks the language" of the authorities.

History and immutable audit

You can reconstruct the network state from any point in time and account for every change. Versioning instead of deletion and a tamper-resistant log - important for audits and the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure.

One platform, on-premise

GIS is part of the HydroNexis ecosystem (WMS, Control, FSM) from a single vendor. On-premise deployment on the customer's server gives full control over critical infrastructure data.

How it looks in action

Screenshots from the GIS module deployed at a water and sewer network operator.

GIS - water and sewer network map with the thematic layers panel

Network map with layers

The entire water and sewer network over a base map, with a thematic layers panel (water supply network, hydrants, valves, protection zones, failures), object search and PL-1992 coordinate readout. A daily "window on the network" for every department.

Network analyses

Topological tools for dispatchers and engineers: valve isolation (which valves to close), upstream and downstream flow tracing, and service area. The map becomes a decision-making tool during a failure.

Integrations

GIS is the geographic core of the platform - it exchanges data with the national resource and with the other HydroNexis modules.

Surveying authority (K-GESUT / GUGiK)

Generation of network data in the K-GESUT format with a completeness check before submission. A statutory obligation fulfilled without manual, error-prone work.

Official base maps (Geoportal)

Orthophoto, BDOT10k topography, EGiB and GESUT as a backdrop for the network - working on current, reliable reference data without acquiring it manually.

GIS software (WFS / QGIS)

Sharing network data externally over WFS - collaboration with surveyors and designers in QGIS without manual exports.

WMS (intake operations)

Linking map data with the operational data of intakes, wells and treatment plants from the WMS module - a fuller picture of water production facilities.

Data import (SHP/GeoJSON/GML)

Loading the network from Shapefile, GeoJSON and GML files - easy migration of existing data and its ongoing updates.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Shared, secure login across the platform - one account for many modules, access restricted to the company network/VPN.

What your team gains

Time savings

Analyses that used to take hours run in seconds. Reports and the K-GESUT export are produced with one click.

Legal security

Compliance with K-GESUT and GUGiK standards, an immutable audit and versioning protect against formal errors and data loss.

One source of truth

Map, attributes, documents and history in one place, in the browser - a shared, up-to-date picture of the network for all departments.

Better decisions

Analyses show the effects of shutdowns before they are carried out, and asset age reports support investment planning.

Frequently asked questions

GIS is available and being deployed at an operator from the water supply sector. By default it runs in the browser - with no installation on workstations. Deployment covers the import of existing network data (Shapefile, GeoJSON, GML), configuration of layers, coordinate systems and permissions, and team training. We tailor the scope and schedule to the scale of the network; details are agreed after requesting a demo.

The operator points to the damaged section on the map, and the system, based on the network topology, determines the valves that must be closed to isolate that section. At the same time it provides the list of cut-off customers and shows the isolation area on the map. Without GIS, such an analysis would require manually tracing maps and consulting several people - here it takes seconds, which shortens the response time and reduces the number of customers left without water.

GIS prepares an export in the K-GESUT format for the surveying authority (GUGiK) with a completeness check. It supports the Polish coordinate systems PL-1992, PL-2000 and WGS84, and uses official map services as base maps: orthophoto, BDOT10k topography, EGiB and GESUT, as well as OpenStreetMap. Network data can be imported from Shapefile, GeoJSON and GML files and shared externally over WFS (e.g. to QGIS). Industry reports are generated to PDF, XLSX, CSV and GML.

Login uses a single sign-on (SSO) model, and access is restricted to the company network/VPN; the scope of actions depends on permissions (e.g. read-only vs. editing). Editing is carried out in sessions with locking of concurrent changes and conflict detection and resolution, so that many employees can maintain the data without the risk of overwrites. Objects are not permanently deleted - they are versioned and rolled back, and every change goes into an immutable audit log. Attached files are virus-scanned before saving.

Yes. GIS imports network data from Shapefile, GeoJSON and GML files, which makes it easy to migrate existing resources and keep them up to date. We agree on the scope of migration and data cleanup during deployment - we help align attributes and layers with the standards and verify the topology before running analyses.

Yes. GIS is the geographic core of the HydroNexis ecosystem. It links map data with the operational data of intakes, wells and treatment plants from the WMS module, giving a fuller picture of water production facilities. It is also part of a single platform with the Control and FSM modules - thanks to shared login and consistent data. Handing over tasks from GIS to field crews (FSM) is something we are developing as the next stage of integration.

Yes. GIS can run in an on-premise model, on the customer's server - a deliberate choice for critical infrastructure operators who require full control over their network data. We agree on the specific deployment model (on-premise or cloud) during a conversation about needs and security policy.

Yes. Just fill in the "Request a demo" form - we will get back to you within 24 hours and arrange a presentation tailored to your network. We will show the map, failure analyses, K-GESUT export and reports in action, and discuss the scope and terms of deployment. No obligation and no cost.
