So I've been noticing that many small and medium sized gas distribution companies would like to be able to electronically update and view maps of all of their gas distribution pipelines. However, the "big boy" companies that perform such mapping services typically want to charge an arm and a leg for such task.
LOOK NO MORE!
The
DIMP Solutions office is capable of performing digital mapping services for you.
Typically, once we know the pipe path, we use GPS
locators to assign the pipe paths to coordinate points (latitude and longitude). The length of the interval at which we take the coordinate measurements varies with each strand of piping. From there, we take the coordinates that were generated in the field, and then, using county or state generated base maps, we draw the lines on the computer in accordance with the GPS coordinates.
We also have the capability to assign attributes to individual strands of piping i.e. if a user were to click on a certain strand of piping, a table can pop up that shows characteristics of the piping such as pipe material, size, installation date, operating pressure and temperature, leak history, etc.
This type of digital mapping is also available for use with water utilities.
We have what it takes to get the job done!!!
