Application of Integrated Control Systems for Improved Protection, Security and Reduced Maintenance Costs of Pipelines
Author: Jamal Rostami and H. BesharatianFoundation
Description: Integrating monitoring, control, and communication systems (MCCS) into one versatile unit could reduce the manpower needed for monitoring and decrease the sources of human errors as well as costs associated with maintenance of pipelines. Such system would inherently improve coordination efforts in response to emergency management needs at times like post disaster (i.e., earthquake, storms etc.) and/or military conflicts, or terrorist attacks. This paper summarizes the areas of potential application of an open architecture solution system, which was originally developed for the telecom industry, in pipeline construction/management and describes the capabilities of this system through past experiences and examples of its use in ongoing projects.
