The index map allows field technicians and the corporate office to locate a specific alignment sheet, integrity management analysis map, or any other map stored in the GIS using a sequential set of numbers along the route. SheetCutter can quickly produce index maps to serve as the cover for map books being sent out into the field.

When an emergency situation occurs, it is important to know where your critical pipeline features are located and what surrounds them. This emergency response map was customized to display important pipeline features in relation to high impact areas. An indexed border was created to support clear communication between response teams and the operating company. Typical users of this map would include pipeline managers and operators, emergency responders, and other utility operators.

This map shows pipeline features along with a land base to assist with locating pipelines for public awareness programs required by RP 1162. The highly readable layout and printed contact information allows the general public to maintain a good relationship with pipeline operators. These public awareness maps are printed on an 11” x 17” page with a wide left margin to allow for binding.

The Gas HCA sheet displays the results of a Gas HCA analysis. In the Map Band, a yellow line was generated to emphasize a 660 foot buffer. The potential impact zones determined by the HCA analysis appear as transparent green “bubbles”. Associated structure data is displayed as points and polygons with differentiation, using symbol for type and labels for Identified Sites. This layout allows for correlation between pipeline and spatial features. Both the pipeline and map features are fully customizable.

This sheet shows spill plumes at 300’ foot intervals along a pipeline. The spill plumes are thematically mapped based on impact time with red symbolizing the last cells to be impacted by the spill scenario. Also within the map view are NHD flow traces, displayed as magenta lines, showing the stream distance impacted by a spill. Above the map view are three bands reporting the locations where the pipeline crosses different HCA boundaries. In the bar chart below the map view, the sheet reveals spill release volumes (blue) and combined release and drain down volumes (green) for each release point. The green bars increase in height as the profile line descends, illustrating the impact elevation has on drain down volumes. The sheet also shows the location of could-affect sections of pipe in relation to HCAs. |

This map shows High Consequence Areas overlaid on a USGS topographical map with pipelines labeled by name and milepost. Segments of pipeline determined by Liquid HCA Analysis to have direct or indirect HCA impact are shown in red. The map includes a vicinity map and area map to gain a big picture view of the system. This map layout may also be utilized by planners for visualizing areas to install new pipe or re-route existing pipe. |

When an anomaly meeting certain criteria is called out during an ILI run, pipeline operators need to quickly analyze a variety of data prior to initiating remediate activities. This includes accurately locating the anomalies, determining sensitive receptors that could be affected should a failure occur, assessing other potential defects near the primary anomaly that should be mitigated at the same time, and planning the repair project including determining how the location can be accessed. For this process, New Century’s iAlign application is used to precisely align ILI data with pipeline data in GIS and then load the anomalies into PODS. Using New Century’s TemplateDesigner, a dig sheet template can be built and with SheetCutter, dig sheets can be quickly sent to engineers and field personnel. |

This sheet is designed to observe variations between data collected during an ILI run and the information stored in a pipeline GIS. Notes represented in blue indicate a point in the ILI run that can be geographically verified by pre-existing data. The bottom of the sheet includes a summary of all of the alignment points. New Century Software’s iAlign maximizes the value of your In-line Inspection data by loading it into a pipeline GIS and assisting operators to accurately locate anomalies. |

The ILI-CIS sheet displays both In-line Inspection (ILI) and Close Interval Survey (CIS) data alongside existing pipe data. The large page size and map formatting features allow an organization to import a wide variety of data for analysis. Engineers and operators can use this style of map to determine locations and causes of corrosion and damage. |

This sheet is designed for underwater pipelines and data reporting. The map window shows the location of pipe and nearby features on a Bathymetry background. This map allows the user to compare many data types side by side and to evaluate the positions of data features in relation to each other. The data elements on this map are specific to those of importance for underwater pipe. |

This map represents a production field with a system of gathering lines connecting the active wells. Gathering system operators can utilize GIS mapping for uses ranging from well planning to one call reporting to integrity management. This particular image includes the GeoPDF toolbar available in TerraGo Publisher, which is integrated with New Century Software’s SheetCutter application. A GeoPDF allows users to turn layers on and off, zoom to a coordinate, measure distance and area, export files to Google Maps, and perform many other functions previously not possible within Adobe Acrobat and Reader.

The purpose of this sheet is to provide integrity managers and engineers with a comprehensive view of the qualitative or quantitative risk of a pipeline so they can make better decisions on how threats and consequences can be reduced. Using a custom algorithm defined by the client, the Spatial Risk Analyst application pulled data in from a variety of external resources in order to determine the threats and consequences listed in the bands. The Total Risk is represented as a simple line chart for easy interpretation within an organization. |

The Tank Farm Spill Analysis sheet is an overview map displaying the spill plumes of large volume spills within a tank farm facility. Specifically, the spills originate where facility pipelines intersect drainages or swales within the facility. The spill plumes are thematically mapped based on the spill depth, with red indicating a greater depth to assist in identifying areas with heavy pooling. The table at the bottom-right highlights the spill specifications for each spill plume.
This map is valuable for facility and risk managers in evaluating the topographical nature within and outside of a tank farm facility. The map may also be used to identify the flow paths from spills occurring within a facility that may require site modifications to prevent the spill from leaving the owner’s property and potentially impacting a sensitive receptor. |

The Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) sheet displays data collected from internal corrosion analysis and field assessment. The pipeline in this sample has been color coded to show percentage slope for easy identification of locations with high degrees of positive slope.
There are three graphs on the sheet. The first shows percentage slope change as a blue bar. The second is a line chart graph that represents a specified critical angle value. The third graph is a line chart that depicts the elevation profile of the pipe allowing the user to visualize the trend of the profile in conjunction with the slope data.
Displaying the pipe data features and elevations next to the slope angle data assists operators and engineers with determining locations and causes of corrosion. These sheets can also be useful for site location while performing direct assessments. Typical users of this map are gas pipeline operators and integrity engineers. |
