Introduction
 Pipeline is the heart-line of Oil and Gas transportation. There is an increasing demand for sophisticated and advanced tools to cater to the pipeline project Implementation, Asset Management, Operation and Maintenance. Pipeline Database Management System (PDMS) comes as a one-stop solution, for the cross country Pipeline. PDMS database is designed to hold all data corresponding to the Pipeline, which also makes it a powerful tool for Disaster Management.
Salient Features:
- GIS database capable of storing integrated Geographic data like Base maps, Cadastral maps, Corridor maps, etc.,
- Intelligent Route Selection System optimizing the time and effort put to finalize the pipeline route,
- Efficient Document / Asset Management System for easy retrieval of design, legal & quality documents
- Disaster Management System
- User friendly map Navigation Tools
- 3D Terrain and Pipe Visualization
- Web-based Pipeline Maintenance, Data Capturing and Monitoring System
- On-the-fly management of Right-of-Use data
The application is robust enough to add new feature codes as and when required.

 Client : Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL)
Earlier constraint : Challenge to efficiently manage 850 km of existing pipeline network and 840 km of proposed pipeline network across India. With limited resource availability, it was an uphill task for GSPL to manage.
SECON’s role : Being prime GIS solution providers and having associated for the past 5 years in the area of Consultation, Survey and Engineering activities, SECON customized its state-of-the-art Pipeline Database Management System (PDMS) for day-to-day easy management of pipelines from inception to commissioning.
Implementation : Inter-connecting of all zonal offices using applications for project monitoring & acquisition management. The PDMS database was centralized to connect all station offices for O&M purpose. Disaster Management tools & web enabled maintenance system were also installed.
Result : Reduction in manpower requirement for land acquisition process by 55% and time saved by 48%. Efficient and accurate data management was achieved. Web enabled system provided efficient processing and management of O&M details.
“SECON’s Pipeline Database Management System (PDMS) implementation is very useful for our day-to-day pipeline management. It is serving as an efficient tool for our Land information system, Disaster management, Operation and Maintenance. We are pleased to place on record our appreciation for the excellent GIS-MIS application implemented to us”
Mr. Y.S. Navathe, Senior Manager – O&M, Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL), Gujarat, INDIA.
