Abstract:
The use of GIS for Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) is well established. This paper examines some of the challenges of building an as-built pipeline data model during the construction phase of a major pipeline project.
Issues addressed include the merging of geospatial and non-geospatial data, handling data from vendor, construction and survey contractors and the validation of data across sources. The value of this and other approaches for real-time data modelling is also evaluated.
