Abstract
Effective decision making depends on effective information. Examples of the roles of inspection data, GIS systems and data management are demonstrated as part of an integrity management plan. The spatially-based correlation and presentation of data that Geographic Information Systems confers is a highly powerful and flexible tool for management of pipeline data. The RFEC/TC inspection technology, capable of detecting prestressing wire failures in PCCP, is currently being used to identify distressed pipe sections in previously uninspected lines as well as the re-inspection of sections to generate models and trends for pipeline deterioration. GIS models and data systems are demonstrated as part of a strategy for pipeline integrity management.
