Revised This presentation reviews the application
of technologies and data sources such as the Internet, GIS, earth imagery,
and how they can be integrated as part of a planned process for siting and
design of pipeline, electrical transmission and other rights-of-way. Data sources, application interfaces and
the way information is communicated between field and office are examined, as
well as the increasing ability to define and integrate more complex
environmental factors into the siting, design, certification, permitting and
design processes. Special reference will be given to pipeline projects
involving this approach to demonstrate the application of an integrated
technology approach to feasibility studies for preliminary siting,
alternatives analysis, project certification and permitting and more detailed
design. Emphasis is given to the benefits gained
from application of these technologies to planning and management processes
with examples. |
