About the Speakers

Lane Moeller is a self-taught GIS professional with more than two decades of industry experience mapping Electrical and Gas Distribution systems. Lane has a profound understanding of GIS versioning, interfacing systems, modeled electrical flow and is currently serving as a Sr. Analyst with ComEd Mapping and Records in an oversight role. Lane has been a key player on several GIS conversion projects for ComEd, namely the Underground Suburban Map Revitalization project. The completed USMR project resulted in GPS positioning for 8,700 manholes, accurate modeling for more than a 1,000 miles of conduit, and institutionalized auto-revising Cable & Conduit and Manhole Butterfly Diagram maps from ComEd's GIS tools. Outdoor sports and excursions, such as fishing with his two sons, are amongst Lane's favorite hobbies.

Mr. Linke is a Licensed Professional Engineer who has over 19 years of experience in the field of Engineering performing design, construction, project and program management for projects in the industries of Utility Infrastructure, Highways and Bridges, and Aviation. He has gained invaluable experience through his day to day collaboration with both office and field teams focusing on safety, coordination, communication, and efficiency. His experience is the basis for providing quality management and engineering as an Associate Manager and Program Lead for HBK in the energy and utilities industry engineering consulting services. In collaboration with ComEd's program team, Mr. Linke lead one of HBK's largest efforts under the Power Division, USMRP (Underground Suburban Mapping Revitalization Program). This program was a complex, multi-year, spatially accurate mapping program of suburban underground distribution systems. His responsibilities included project management, budgeting, GIS and engineering oversight, as well as coordination of region and substation visits, locating and surveying teams, and managing multiple DBE sub-contractors. USMRP included field work and mapping of an approximately 11,310 square mile territory, over 8,700 manholes, 1,000 miles of duct, 467 substations and 12,000 facilities maps.
