Pipeline projects are capital intensive and their construction and assembly involve many activities and risks that need to be handled in an effective and productive way to guarantee (a) project quality, (b) to stay under budget and (c) manage construction schedule as planned. PCMS is as integrated, GIS based, platform using ArcGIS technology as user friendly graphical interface. All planning, management, basic and executive design, material acquisition and storage, construction activities as well as field data collection are handled by PCMS. PCMS development strategy is to integrate well proved applications that are used for this kind of project and access selected information from each of them that are important for a higher level of management.
