MODERNIZING GAS PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION AS-BUILT DRAWINGS

Learn how America’s largest gas distribution utility systematically implemented Locusview technology to modernize their business and promote earnings growth. With a vision of being “the safest provider of natural gas services”, the gas distribution utility is a prime example that investments in safety and reliability have a direct impact on the bottom-line. This article uncovers many of the drivers for gas utility modernization and a clear action plan to achieve success. In this case study you will learn how you could: 

  • Ensure data integrity and eliminate bottlenecks with sensor based data collection and real-time validation
  • Promote real-time project visibility and progress tracking across all geographical areas and construction projects
  • Create a streamlined data flow from the field to the system of record and automatically create pipebooks and as-mades

Platform for electronic as-builting

Without the use of the LocusView technology, PECO would be hard pressed to meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for updating our infrastructure maps. The technology has given PECO the means to build a platform for electronic as-builting which will improve work efficiencies, ensure data quality, and allow for future innovations.

record near real-time data as they occur in the field

Working with our Alliance Partner NPL, Washington Gas has been able to leverage the Tracking & Traceability technology we developed with LocusView to record near real-time data on plastic pipe and fitting installations as they occur in the field. The Tracking and Traceability initiative helps Washington Gas improve pipeline safety through better documentation of our underground facilities.
