Brazzaville, Republic Of Congo

Carried out a valve mapping of the primary drinking water network of Brazzaville:- Prepared fieldwork by creating valve sheets to be filled and maps todetermine routes to be followed.- Managed network teams in the field during valve mapping.- Developed a system to automatically create valve information sheetswhich present all the attributes collected in the field, their geographicalsituation in the GIS (Geographic Information System) and pictures takenon location.- Set up a phone or tablet based tool which allow users to input field datadirectly to a portable GIS database which can then be directly added tothe main GIS database.- Created a procedure to determine rounds on the GIS for CommercialManagement:- Developed a QGIS plugin which extracts a round sequence for everyround in the network.- Involved in setting up and collecting data from pressure loggers to calibrate thehydraulic model of the Brazzaville network:- Developed Python scripts which allow the pressure data to beinteractively visualized on the GIS.
