Analyzing Pipeline Records Discrepancies Efficiently
By Sam Acheson, Ollie Burkinshaw and Simon Slater, ROSEN The pipeline industry is working with an aging infrastructure, with about two-thirds of existing U.S. pipelines constructed before the 1980s.1 This creates unique challenges for analysis and decision making with the pipeline asset data. For pipelines constructed today, technology provides mechanisms for effective and efficient routing and design, survey grade data collection technologies allow for capturing accurate location and properties at each weld, and standards-based data formats for storing this data have all contributed to our ability to establish a robust and accurate representation of the pipelines in database system.
