Abstract
NPMS--Creating a Nationwide Pipeline GISTrack: Pipeline Transmission
Author(s): Ronnie S. Buzzard
This paper will go into great detail on the processes, procedures, and steps used to create a nationwide GIS. Working with national (USDOT) and state agencies, Michael Baker Corporation has created the NPMS. The NPMS is a GIS that tracks geospatial, metadata, and attribute data of all hazardous liquid and natural gas transmission pipelines located in the United States.
The process includes data collection, data processing, and creation of an ArcIMS Web site to exhibit the NPMS data. The site also exhibits other related DOT data such as population, unusually sensitive areas, natural disaster, and commercially navigable waterways.
