Component
Software for the Pipeline Industry
ASGPipeline™
To provide your company with an open, efficient system for viewing
pipeline data, Sewall has developed ASGPipeline™, a
component-based application that automates the production of pipeline
alignment sheets. Designed to integrate seamlessly with an AM/FM/GIS
or to stand alone, ASGPipeline™ creates on-demand sheets
containing your most current pipe-line data in a user-controlled
format. Written in C++ for efficiency, ASGPipeline™
components use ActiveX data objects (ADO) to maximize database connectivity
and COM to allow easy, cost-effective customization.
DATA
FORMAT AND SELECTION
Sewall’s ASGPipeline™ is designed to create customized
graphical reports of pipeline information from digital data. Standard
symbology, sheet format, and borders are enforced through the initial
creation of standard text-based alignment sheet format configuration
files that provide complete control of sheet layout. Our product
comes with such standard sheet configuration files as main line,
offshore, detail, and integrity sheets. A customizable Visual Basic
Windows-based GUI front end allows users to select from multiple
existing alignment sheet formats and data sources using simple pull-down
menus. ASGPipeline™ can be configured to run either
on individual client workstations or on a server in batch mode to
produce pipeline system alignment sheets with minimum user participation.

FEATURES
ASGPipeline™ produces reports containing data on multiple,
parallel pipelines, pipeline data tables, and pipeline profiles, with
station equations and reverse stationing. Overlays of existing image
files, such as digital aerial photos and orthophotos, are supported.
White-space management aligns and places station-based information
along a sheet automatically and generates subsequent overflow sheets
if data bands exceed the width of a single sheet for each pipeline
segment. With our additional ASGPipeline™ schematic component,
pipeline companies can generate pipeline schematics containing crossings,
deflections, and encroachments.

ALIGNMENT
SHEET PRODUCTION
Digital alignment sheet files can be saved in most industry-standard
file formats, such as MicroStation design (DGN) files, AutoCAD drawing
(DWG) files, digital exchange format (DXF) files, and computer generated
metafiles (CGM). Saved files can be plotted or placed on a company
network or Intranet for corporate use.
ADDITIONAL
SOFTWARE TOOLS AND SERVICES
ASGPipeline™ is one component of a set of modular software
tools for pipeline data management, alignment sheet generation,
pipeline class location analysis, and HCA calculation. Sewall has
also developed customized data collection and facility map viewing
systems for gas utilities. To meet client needs, Sewall staff are
