AGIG – Enhancing Landowner and Stakeholder Engagement

Recognising the critical importance of efficient landowner and stakeholder engagement for maintaining compliance, ensuring transparency, and improving decision-making, AGIG and its subsidiaries, including Dampier Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) in Western Australia, have proactively implemented several of Mipela’s cloud-hosted solutions to streamline their engagement and data management processes from the office to the field.  These include:

• X-Info Assurance suite automated BYD response system and Third Party Works
• X-Info Land management
• X-Info Safety Management Studies
• GIS.

Recently, Mipela rolled out its mobile data capture app, X-Info Aware, to simplify landowner and stakeholder engagement while ensuring the technical assurance of field-collected data. The initial focus was Landowner and Occupier Visits, providing instant access to critical information such as contact details, addresses, maps, notes, and history, including the ability to assign tasks, with automated email follow-up. By implementing the use of X-Info Aware, DBNGP have significantly improved the management of remote field tasks by allowing our field personnel to collect spatial and textual data on-site using their smartphones or iPads. This eliminates the need for outdated collection methods, saves time, and reduces the risk of errors. The app’s real-time capabilities enable efficient task assignment and operation, ensuring our field staff have the most current information to carry out their duties effectively. Data is automatically synchronised (when in comms range) both ways between the hosted service and the mobile device(s). Additionally, users leverage NearMap’s high-quality aerial imagery while using X-Info Aware, significantly enhancing geospatial accuracy and on-site decision-making. The improved speed of data processing, including georeferenced photographs in the field with markup capability, marks a substantial leap forward from previous manual and paper-based workflows.

As part of AGIG’s commitment to refining its operational efficiency, both DBNGP and Mipela are dedicated to exploring further enhancements to X-Info Aware, ensuring even greater usability and impact in the field. This ongoing collaboration demonstrates AGIG’s drive to continuously improve their landowner and stakeholder engagement processes.
