Geoinformation system of gas supply networks

Geoinformation system (GIS) of gas supply engineering networksis a module of the geoinformation system of the territorial community (utility enterprise), designed to save, accumulate and display information about the city’s engineering infrastructure.

The software complex provides the user with a wide set of tools for creating, filling and editing electronic maps, carrying out engineering calculations of relevant gas supply networks, developing plans for the organization of work during planned and emergency shutdowns, creating route maps for maintenance by the bypass method, accounting and planning the operation of underground gas supply networks.

Opportunities of the Geoinformation System of gas supply engineering networks

• display of engineering infrastructure objects (gas pipelines, gas distribution stations and points, etc.);

• connection to a set of display of space images, orthophoto plans, urban planning documentation, raster diagrams of engineering networks, etc.; 

• display of detailed technical parameters of networks (diameter and material of pipes, dates of commissioning and last repair, etc.);

• execution of spatial and attributive queries, possibility of searching and group editing of data;

• provision of operational inventory of networks and elements in real time using mobile devices;

• implementation of public electronic appeals and registration of incidents by citizens on the networks (emergency service call, gas leak, etc.) using mobile devices.

Legislative grounds for the development of the Geoinformation System

The legislative basis for the development of the geoinformation system of engineering networks is the relevant normative acts regulating activities in the field of gas supply.

Use a wide range of analytical capabilities of the Geoinformation System of gas supply networks

• get a flexible platform for convenient display of networks, automate maintenance of technical documentation;

• get prompt access to information about communications and their technical characteristics;

• increase the efficiency of dispatching services by clearly locating wells, pipelines and other necessary objects in the area;

• predict directions of infrastructure development, effectively manage utilities;

• promptly respond to accidents and emergency situations (in particular, gas leaks on pipelines), spatially localize them;

• provide information support for the needs of preventive and emergency recovery work;

• ensure interaction with territorial services and management bodies (land cadastre, environmental protection, etc.).

The structure of the layers of the Geoinformation System of Engineering Networks:

• digital network map visualization subsystem in combination with cartographic services (Google Maps, Bing Maps, Open Street Map, etc.), urban planning (general plan, digital topographic plan, orthophoto plan, etc.) and land management documentation;

• subsystem of the register of addresses, streets (a layer of buildings with additional information: type, material, number of floors, etc.) and other named objects;

• a subsystem for monitoring emergency situations and keeping a history of incidents on networks;

• a subsystem of operational dispatch monitoring of the state of networks as a consolidated information panel (dashboard);

• a subsystem for keeping records of inspection wells and their technical characteristics (belonging to the type of networks, depth, exact coordinates, etc.);

• relevant security zones with an indication of the nature of the restrictions.
