OVERVIEW

2

• Paperless As-Builting with Tracking & Traceability• Technology Overview• Implementation at PG&E• Closing Thoughts

PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING V ISION

3

• Data required for asset lifecycle management is captured automatically and electronically in the field during construction

• Data collection is efficient and non-duplicative

• Real-time QA/QC monitors workmanship quality and data quality

• Data is delivered to enterprise systems in near real-time

PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING REQUIREMENTS

4

• Data collection requirements:

• GIS and Mapping

• Engineering

• O&M

• Integrity Management

• Damage Prevention

• Quality

• Accounting

• Supply Chain

• Heath & Safety

PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING DATA T YPES

5

• Data types:

• Asset Location and Geometry• Material Properties • Joint/Fusion/Weld Parameters • OQ Status• Pressure Test Record• Quality Inspections

PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING DATA SOURCES

6

• Data sources:• Asset Location and Geometry - GPS• Material Properties – ASTM F2897 Barcode• OQ Status – OQ Cards• Fusion Parameters – Fusion Machine• Pressure Test Record – Pressure Sensor• Quality Inspections – Visual and Pictures

Pipeline “Internet of Things”

TECHNOLOGY7

MOBILE APPLICATION

8

• Workflow driven for ease of use, but flexible to accommodate various situations (bores, inserts, GPS unavailability, no ASTM barcode)

• Intuitive user interface that logically guides the user to the next step and provides useful messages.

• Integrates with various sensors to automate data collection (GPS, barcode scanner, fusion machine, pressure sensor)

• Real-time validations to ensure quality workmanship and quality data collection

MATERIAL TRACEABILIT Y

9

• Reads and decodes ASTM F2987 (or other) barcodes• Creates GIS features and populates attribute information• Performs real-time validations

• Maps assets with GPS (sub-meter, sub-foot, decimeter)

JOINT TRACEABILIT Y

10

• Creates joint (weld, fusion, or mechanical fitting) traceability barcode• Captures machine make, model, and calibration date• Captures parameter data from fusion machines

OQ TRACEABILIT Y

11

• Records OQ status for various field activities• Uses third-party or custom OQ cards

PRESSURE TEST TRACEABILIT Y

12

• Creates a verifiable pressure test record that is associated with specific assets or project numbers

• Monitors tests against pre-defined requirements• Provides real-time monitoring and alerts

WEB APPLICATION

13

• Integrates all field collected data into a single database

• Visualizes data in an Esri GIS environment

• Allows data reviewing, querying, editing, and extracting

IMPLEMENTATION AT PG&E15

PG&E PROJECT SCOPE

16

• GPS and material traceabilityo Nine field userso 3-4 months

• Fusion, OQ, and pressure test traceability

• Print ASTM F2897 labels for assets without barcodes

BARCODE READABILIT Y ISSUES

17

• Curvature• Shiny background• Contrast with laser etching• Durability during installation• Labels in bag instead of on fitting• Improper sizing or location

FIELD VERIFICATION

18

• Compared pictures/final paper as-built to maps

• Confirm known issueso Decreased GPS performance

close to buildings and under trees

• New findingso Potential issues with slanted

GPS pole

• Lessons learnedo Need GPS alternative workflowo Technology vs training solutions

FIELD USER FEEDBACK

19

ISSUE LOCUSMAP 3.0 SOLUTION

Bluetooth disconnecting Integrated devices, automatic reconnecting

GPS taking too long to get to required accuracy

Guided workflow to tell the user when to wait longer and when to use alternative workflow

“I forgot to charge the device” Integrated devices, improved case

“Needs to be more like my fish finder”

Guided workflow with prompts and intuitivebuttons

NEXT PHASE 2017

20

• Implement LocusMap 3.0

• Formal IT and GIS integration project

• Increase # of users

• Increase applications for technology o Other O&M activities - repairso Locates

• Continue working with manufacturers to:o Implement ASTM F2897 barcodeso Resolve barcode label readability issues

CLOSING THOUGHTS

21

• ASTM F2897 can be the foundation for, but should not be the limit of, automated field data collection during construction.

• Technology can drive quality.

• The workflow should drive the technology, the technology should not drive the workflow.
