Course Overview
Most utility teams are still managing critical infrastructure with disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems that can’t show how a single failure actually ripples through the network. A transformer that fails doesn’t just affect one address; it affects everything downstream, and most existing systems have no real way to trace that automatically.
That’s exactly what this ArcGIS Pro (Utility Network) program is built to fix. The course covers the ArcGIS Utility Network, network tracing, and utility network data model concepts across electric, water, and gas infrastructure environments. It sits within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio alongside business intelligence certification, tech certifications, and resilience training. Whether you’re new to utility network GIS software or migrating from a legacy geometric network, this program gives you the structure to build a smart utility network that actually holds up.

- Outline
Course Outline
Day 1: Utility Network Fundamentals and Data Model Structure
- Covers the ArcGIS Utility Network data model in depth, including domain networks, tiers, and how subnetwork structure actually gets built
- Introduces utility network GIS software concepts for participants transitioning from traditional geometric networks for the first time
- Real implementation examples show how poor data model planning quietly causes tracing problems months later
Day 2: Network Tracing and Utility Infrastructure Management
- Covers network tracing configuration for electric, water, and gas utility network analysis across realistic operational scenarios
- Participants build trace configurations that reflect actual connectivity rules instead of simplified, idealized assumptions
- Output is a working trace setup that participants can adapt directly to their own infrastructure layout
Day 3: Working With Utility Networks in ArcGIS Pro
- Covers practical workflows for working with utility networks in ArcGIS, including editing, validation, and day-to-day rule enforcement
- Participants learn how field edits propagate through the network and where validation errors most commonly appear
- Hands-on exercises using sample electric and water utility data reinforce the data model concepts from Day 1
Day 4: Electric, Water, and Gas Utility Network Configuration
- Covers ArcGIS electric utility network and ArcGIS water utility network configuration, highlighting where the two genuinely differ
- Participants configure a sample ArcGIS Utility Network for gas, applying the same data model principles to a new asset type
- Output is a side-by-side comparison of configuration choices across all three utility types
Day 5: Utility Data Management and Implementation Planning
- Covers utility data management services and the ongoing governance required to keep a utility network solution accurate over time
- Participants complete a final utility network configuration exercise covering structure, tracing, and validation together
- Everyone leaves with direct instructor feedback and a clear implementation plan for their own organization

- Case Study
Case Study Example
A regional water utility had been managing its distribution network using a legacy geometric network that couldn’t accurately trace downstream impact during a pipe failure. Maintenance crews were often dispatched to the wrong section first, and outage notifications went out to unaffected customers more than once. After a structured ArcGIS Pro (Utility Network) program, the GIS team migrated to a proper utility network data model with accurate tracing configured for their actual infrastructure. Within the following quarter, response times to confirmed failures improved noticeably, and incorrect outage notifications dropped sharply.
- Why Choose
Why Choose This Program?
Utility network GIS software that’s configured without understanding the underlying data model produces systems that look complete but trace incorrectly the moment something actually fails. The Global Industries Intelligence ArcGIS Pro (Utility Network) program is built around real tracing accuracy and data integrity, where utility network management training translates directly into faster, more reliable infrastructure response. You may also be interested in our business intelligence certification, resilience training, and other tech certifications within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio.

Fequently Asked Questions
What is the ArcGIS Pro (Utility Network) program?
A structured training program covering the ArcGIS Utility Network data model, network tracing, and utility infrastructure management across electric, water, and gas environments.
Do participants need prior ArcGIS experience?
Basic familiarity with ArcGIS Pro helps, but isn’t required. Participants with a GIS, engineering, or utility operations background will find the content directly applicable from day one.
Is this course relevant for electric, water, and gas utilities, or just one?
All three. The program covers ArcGIS electric utility network, ArcGIS water utility network, and ArcGIS Utility Network for gas, so participants can apply the model to whichever infrastructure they manage.
How is the Utility Network different from the older geometric network?
The Utility Network supports more accurate, rule-based tracing and subnetwork structure, while the geometric network relies on simpler, less flexible connectivity logic that struggles with complex infrastructure.
Which roles benefit most from utility network management training?
GIS analysts, utility engineers, and asset managers are the heaviest users, but anyone responsible for infrastructure reliability or outage response has a direct use case for understanding how the network model actually works.
