Abstract

These includes fixed and controlled road reserves widths, lack of a geo-spatially referenced FOC database, inadequate Computer Aided Design (CAD) routes comparison and verification before approval for digging and ducting is done. This research paper describes how the prototype Geospatial Information System (GIS) based FOC infrastructure management database can effectively be used as an alternative tool on data management, integration, mapping, FOC planning designing and verification as opposed to the current hard copy CAD based FOC route design and planning system.
