Introduction
Better ground information and planning is the outcome of tedious, lethargic and mundane ground survey.
SECON-PASG, developed by Secon Private Limited using AutoCAD tools, is an outstanding product for design consultancy. This application provides an efficient and effective way to generate Alignment sheets, Cross sections and various Reports. It helps you customize information that can be plotted on alignment sheets. Besides generating alignment sheets, it allows you to deal with engineering data. Here, you can easily perform desired operation pertaining to pipe and bends like straight pipes, mitred pipes, spool pipes, factory bends, etc. SECON-PASG is equipped with functionality to upload data from survey drawing file and from CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This data can be categorized as survey data collected from Total Station, crossing data (Railway Crossing, River Crossing, Road Crossing, etc.). It keeps track of voluminous data belonging to each project & pipeline combination and allows you to set parameter/ properties of project to generate better and effective output.
SECON-PASG eliminates manual or semi-automated alignment sheet generation and engineering data management, which consume a lot of time and effort. It is user-friendly, robust, accurate, efficient and fast alignment sheet generation tool ushered for the rescue of companies offering consultancy services for pipeline industry.

Difference between SECON Alignment Sheet Generator (SASG) and other GIS based Alignment Sheet Generators
The difference between our Software SASG and Competing Software that generate GIS based alignment sheets is that our software is built by Engineers and Surveyors and not just Computer Programmers only. We have developed this software in 1997 in AutoCAD and are still using it in-house for our Engineers and Surveyors and got valuable feedback from them.
We are one of the oldest(Established 1981) and the largest Pipeline Surveying and Mapping Company in India and have Surveyed and Mapped more than 65000km of Cross Country Oil and Gas Pipelines in India as of August 2010.
It has been continuously modified for Engineers in companies like Reliance Industries, the largest private Energy Company in India, to standardize the data collection and alignment sheet generation process.
It has also been modified for use by experienced Engineering Consulting companies in Europe for Alignment Sheet Generation for their Water Pipeline projects in Europe and the Middle East.
We have found that most Engineers still use and will continue to use CAD based software like AutoCAD to generate Alignment Sheets since most of the Engineering Design on these alignment sheets is done in AutoCAD or similar CAD based software.
The key to this software is that it standardises the Data Collection and Alignment Sheet generation process so even if your Pipeline Company is using Different Subcontractors for Surveying and to Generate Base Drawings, they will generate the same Standard Drawing in a rapid fashion.
