Pipeline Management Program

Overview

OICCG's Pipeline Management Program (PMP) brings together a range of technical, engineering and information services associated with the installation, monitoring, maintenance and mapping of surface and sub-surface pipelines.

Capabilities:

  • Location, marking and Differentially Corrected Positioning Survey (DGPS) of buried pipelines.
  • Assessment of buried pipeline coating systems using Pipeline Current Mapper (PCM), Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG) and Close Interval
  • Potential Survey (CIPS).
  • Correlation of data from different inspection sources including Pipeline Intelligent Gauging (PIG).
  • Compilation of an integrated Geographical Information System (GIS) designed as a decision support tool. The strength of GIS is the ability to analyse the relationships between different sources of data within the framework of GPS references. For example, high risk points on a pipeline can be related to other data sets such as roads, property boundaries, rivers, wetlands, boreholes, etc. example
  • PMP provides a database platform and user interface for client data which is maintained by OICCG. Predefined projects are available to participants on CD-ROM to easily address common queries. OICCG handle more complex queries from a centrally administered GIS.
