Among the first steps of any Pipeline Integrity Management Program is the identification and mapping of potential impacts to High Consequence Areas along the pipeline system. Gulf Interstate Engineering can utilize existing GPS and survey data to map the pipeline centerline and overlay various High Consequence Area spatial data such as high population areas, other populated areas, commercially navigable waterways, and unusually sensitive areas. This information can be used in conjunction with elevation and operating data to determine the potential impacts along the pipeline system.
Gulf Interstate Engineering and our affiliates can also assist in the development of a GIS system to support the Pipeline Integrity Management Program. Our technical staff can provide the services necessary for data conversion, GPS acquisition, enterprise data models, GIS implementation, and application development.
