Abstract

This paper describes a research and development effort on a Pipeline Planning System (PPS). Research was first conducted to identify the aspects of pipeline planning and pipeline network design that could benefit from a computer assisted approach. The barriers described in this study are: hydraulic analysis programs that are difficult-to-use, inadequate media for geographic/spatial information, and insufficient supporting tools for design refinements. Building upon these findings, a cohesive computer environment was designed and developed to integrate hydraulic analysis and geographic information processing with a graphic user interface (GUI) in order to improve the effectiveness of pipeline design functions. A system prototype was implemented and is currently being used by the project sponsors in their real-world pipeline network planning and design for municipal and industrial water conveyance.
