Program Area(s):
Pipeline Risk and Information Management -- Data Management and Information Systems
Project/Technology Description:
LocusMap is software used in new distribution lines installations for tracking and traceability of pipes, fittings, and fusions data. The software is a mobile GIS tool creating features directly in a GIS format and allows field-collected data to be directly integrated into the enterprise GIS with minimal back-office processing. Barcode scanning and high-accuracy GPS are used to automate data entry in the field and create high-accuracy maps.
Impact of Project/Technology on Technological Advancement to Gas Industry:
The DOT Distribution Integrity Management (DIMP) program requires utilities to identify the threats that may affect the safety and performance of the distribution facilities.
Applicable Metrics:
Increased Safety - The software integrates data management at individual asset levels into the utility’s GIS database for integrity management inspection and data tracking and traceability.
Reduced Operations Cost - It reduces data management and operation costs by accurately identifying the underground assets through barcode scanning and high accuracy GPS systems.
