Abstract
 Collecting and Managing Pipeline Information for Compliance and System Integrity Track: Pipeline Author(s): John Linehan GISP Enbridge Energy is going through an evolution in the methods used to collect and report information for pipeline compliance and system integrity. This evolution is steering the company to use data models and off-the-shelf GIS tools to query, manage, and store the increasing volumes of required data. This paper will discuss the approach Enbridge Energy is adopting to collect the necessary information such as using sub-meter GPS, calibrated smart pigging, and aerial interpretation. The goal is to economically gather, model, and process data for reporting items such as Base Assessment Plans, DOT class, High Consequence Areas, centerline location, and for maintenance budgeting in a timely and efficient manner.
