GESCONRED (in Joint Venture with ESINOR) has developed, for FECSA-ENDESA (2003-2010) and SEVILLANA-ENDESA (2006-2009), an integral procedure for the capture and digitisation of 285,000 network connection points in Catalonia (divided between two electrical areas: Baix Llobregat and Vallès-Maresme), and 450,000 connection points in the province of Seville.

This procedure was carried out using two types of teams in each area: network capture teams (consisting of 10, 12 and 20 technicians respectively, organised into groups of 2 people with one leader per team) and digitising teams (consisting of CAD technicians with specific training in GIS programs from FECSA-ENDESA). To this end a software application was also developed for production control and the invoicing of work, as well as to generate monthly reports.

The equipment used to carry out this work was: Ariadne ILF-6 line identifiers and Mesegur FM9860 underground cable locators, property of GESCONRED and homologated by FECSA-ENDESA.
