Use Cases

Use Cases

The current scope of the PipelineML standards development initiative is focused on fulfilling the following use cases:

Use Case UC001: New Construction Survey

This release shall support the need to capture a detailed inventory of assembled pipeline componentry as defined in a survey conducted at the conclusion of new pipeline construction. This type of data package would be prepared by a survey and mapping company. This data packet would be provided to the pipeline operator. It would be imported into the operator’s pipeline asset data management system. Supported componentry attributes shall be appropriate to the intrinsic properties knowable at the conclusion of pipeline construction.

Use Case UC002: Pipeline Rehabilitation

This release shall support the need to capture a detailed inventory of assembled pipeline componentry as defined in a survey conducted at the conclusion of pipeline rehabilitation activities.  This type of data package would be prepared by a survey and mapping company. This data packet would be provided to the pipeline operator. It would be imported into the operator’s pipeline asset data management system. Supported componentry attributes shall be appropriate to the intrinsic properties knowable at the conclusion of pipeline rehabilitation activities. The Pipeline Rehabilitation use case is similar to the new construction use case, but includes items installed in typical rehabilitation activities such as repair sleeves, linepipe cut-outs and recoating jobs.
