Innovative GIS Applications in Pipeline and Gas Industries: Enhancing Field Inspections at Central Hudson

This paper discusses Central Hudson Gas & Electric’s innovative approach to integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into their field sketching and inspection processes. Covering an extensive network of 170 miles of transmission and 1,175 miles of distribution in the Mid-Hudson region of New York, the solution leverages electronic maps and off-the-shelf data models to replace outdated paper-based systems. Key features include the use of field tablets for inspections, real-time data access, and enhanced compliance monitoring, ultimately improving operational efficiency and data accuracy.

  1. ESRI UC 2012 • Innovative Uses of GIS in the Pipeline and Gas Industries • Central Hudson Gas & Electric’s • Field Sketching and Inspection Solution • Kevin Burton – CHGE • Jeff Puuri – GL Noble Denton

  2. Central Hudson Gas & Electric • Mid-Hudson region New York • HQ Poughkeepsie • Gas System – Transmission and Distribution • 170 miles Transmission • 1175 miles Distribution • 5 Districts • 75 thousand customers Mid-Hudson Bridge – Poughkeepsie, NY

  3. Existing System Mainframe ArcGIS – SDE, Uptime • CIS • FOS – Field Operating System • Inspections Field Tablets/PDAs • Inspections • Raster Sketching • Paper forms • Distribution, Transmission, Landbase • Integrity analysis and compliance • Off-the-shelf data models • APDM • ArcGIS Gas Distribution DM

  4. Project Objectives • Replace current field mapping, sketching, and inspection collection system • Paper, Raster, Mainframe • Provide a light-weight map viewing software solution to support both field and office users • Leverage GIS Investment, Electronic Maps to Field • Electronic document retrieval from GIS features • Hyperlink to Manuals, Sketches, Reference Maps • Replace Compliance Monitoring Software • Product-based – operate on Laptop/Toughbook or PDA • Capture Editable, Re-useable Field Sketches during Inspection Activities • Integrate w/Inspection Software for Point-in-time snapshot

  5. Target Solution SDE, Uptime Mainframe – CIS Related Repairs Off-the-shelf inspection system Viewer / Sketching • Distribution, Transmission, Landbase • Integrity analysis and compliance Field Tablets/PDAs or Back Office • Map-based asset access • Inspections • Vector Sketching Replica/Document Servers Synchronization

  6. Viewing Software - ArcEngine Map Navigation / Search / Hyperlink MXD Layer Properties

  7. Viewing Software - Hyperlinks Hyperlink Tool Polygon Features Hyperlink Attribute Resulting PDF

  8. Sketching Tools Scale Specific Geo-referenced Custom Palette Per Sketch

  9. Sketching with Inspection Collection

  10. Back Office - Supervisor Approval

  11. Back Office GIS Update - ArcMap / ArcEditor Extension

  12. Upon Back Office Approval – Sketches Are Generated

  13. Replication and Synchronization Sketch / Resource Upd One Way Replication Sketch / Replica / Resource Updates LAN WAN • GDB / MXD Editing • Attribute Importer (Sketch Creation) • Resource Cfg • Field Work • Inspections (FM) • Sketch Editing South Road District Office x 5

  14. Ability to Edit Existing Sketch – In Field Retrieve Existing sketch, use for: • Further Updates • Basis for new sketch Hyperlink attributes after sync:

  15. PDA Support – ArcPAD Solution

  16. Conclusion • Satisfying project objectives • Integrate Field Mapping & Inspections with GIS • Implement Vector Sketching • ESRI technology • ArcEngine • Geodatabase Replication + Synchronization • Hyperlinking • ArcMap/ArcEditor editing extension • ArcPad • Essentials Inspection software
