Egyptian Governor of Damietta, Dr. Hussam Fouzi, recently convened a meeting to review the executive steps for establishing a utility network information center in the province. The meeting was held in coordination with the utility network information center in Giza Governorate, aiming to benefit from their extensive experience in this field and apply best practices. The attendees included Dr. Mohamed Fouzi, Deputy Governor, and several other high-ranking officials.
The meeting focused on the center's crucial role and primary objectives in supporting decision-making processes. The center is set to monitor and identify the locations of all underground utility networks without the need for field excavation, mapping them onto precise digital maps. This technology will protect the infrastructure, provide a comprehensive geographic database using the latest Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and enhance urban planning efficiency while preventing damage to networks during project implementation.
Governor Fouzi discussed several essential work axes to start the center's operations effectively. These included forming a specialized task force, determining mechanisms for building and establishing a digital database for utilities, and developing a comprehensive training program to qualify the human cadres that will manage and operate the network. These steps aim to complete all administrative and technical procedures for the official launch and maximize the center's potential benefits.
The utility network information center in Giza Governorate will share its expertise with Damietta. The center's experience in managing and operating utility networks will be crucial in helping Damietta establish its own center. Giza's center has been successfully operating for some time, providing a model for Damietta to follow.
The meeting was attended by several officials, including Dr. Mohamed Fouzi, Deputy Governor of Damietta, and Mr. Essam Abu El-Ela, head of the utility network information center in Giza Governorate. Other attendees included Mr. Ahmed Mansour, Deputy Head of the device, and several directors of relevant departments at the Damietta Governorate.
The new center in Damietta will enhance the governorate's ability to manage its infrastructure effectively. By leveraging the latest technology and expertise, the center will provide a robust foundation for urban planning and development. The governorate aims to improve its services and infrastructure, ultimately benefiting its residents.
The establishment of the utility network information center in Damietta is part of a broader effort to modernize the governorate's infrastructure and services. By adopting best practices and advanced technologies, the governorate seeks to improve the quality of life for its residents and create a more sustainable future.
