At the event on 22 August this year, Google and Willbros demonstrated some of these technologies.
Willbros and Google hosted more than 100 industry professionals, media, and investors at the event.
The Summit took place at the Dream Hotel in New York City and showcased their revolutionary, cloud-based information system, Integra-Link鈩.
Using Google鈥檚 mapping technology, Willbros developed the system to help utility companies manage, maintain and map their infrastructures 鈥 and meet governmental regulations.

Integra-Link provides that in an efficient information system. If there鈥檚 an emergency, operators can respond quickly. If there are deficiencies in the pipeline system, they can be corrected in a timely manner.鈥
