Pipeline construction field software Trimble has announced an addition to its Access™ family of field software applications. Trimble Access Pipelines is designed for surveyors involved in oil and gas pipeline installation, and addresses challenges encountered by pipeline surveyors by automating common pipeline survey tasks. Using the application, pipeline surveyors can capture the necessary data so construction can proceed without costly delays.

area manager of oil and gas for Trimble’s geospatial division. “With Trimble Access Pipelines, we have leveraged Trimble’s strength in positioning technology and combined it with a workflow-specific application to create a streamlined solution that can meet the needs of geospatial professionals working in the oil and gas industry.” Trimble Access Pipelines and Trimble Business Center software version 3.30 are available now through the company’s geospatial distribution channel. A free trial of the Trimble Access Pipelines application as well as other available modules for Trimble Access are available to all existing Trimble Access users, and can be activated and installed using the Trimble Access Installation Manager.

The complete end-to-end solution is enabled when combining Trimble Access Pipelines and Trimble Business Center. Trimble Access Pipelines can quickly generate customised reports for the tally and weld map data or the surveyed pipeline directly on the controller. All field data can be seamlessly transferred into Trimble Business Center to produce complete deliverables including as-built plots using the Trimble Business Center Advanced Drafting module. “One of the most time-consuming challenges pipeline surveyors face is the collection of pipe attribution detail and recording the information with weld positions,” said Benoit Mallen, business

The software solution saves time by simplifying attribute and inventory collection and integrating all the data into one easy-to-use data collection workflow. Trimble Access Pipelines offers a streamlined workflow for pipe inventory collection and validation, weld mapping and as-built measurements. The software reduces project time and redundancies by collecting pipe attribute data, recording the relationship between welds and pipes, and electronically linking the joint attributes to measured welds.
