NPMS data submission standards are being revised by PHMSA.
On June 22, 2016, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published their latest update1 on proposed revisions to data submission requirements for the ...
In the last post we discussed pros and cons of event- and feature-based implementations of the APDM. Here, in the last post of this series, we concentrate on actually loading features (facilities data, etc.) into the geodatabase.
In the last post we unveiled a free tool to load centerline features (LineLoop, StationSeries and ControlPoint) in a PODS ESRI Spatial 5.0 or APDM 5.0 geodatabase and wrapped up the topic of centerline loading. It's almost time to actually load...
In the last post we completed loading the APDM 5 / PODS ESRI Spatial 5 centerline (LineLoop, StationSeries and ControlPoint) using a polyline feature class (Raw Pipelines) as the starting point. We used out-of-the-box ArcMap, plus one free script...
In the previous post we used the ArcToolbox Append tool to load features into the APDM 5 / PODS ESRI Spatial 5 StationSeries feature class using our Raw Pipeline Routes as the data source. In this post we'll use Raw Pipeline Routes to populate...
In the last post we learned about the APDM / PODS ESRI Spatial StationSeries feature class and its unique characteristics. When last we left our hypothetical Raw Ripelines feature class (see How to Add Measure / Station Values to Pipelines in...
In the previous post we learned how to prepare pipeline polylines for load into a PODS ESRI Spatial or APDM geodatabase by adding 'M' values (measures / station values) to the vertices of the pipeline polylines. This is well and good, but before...
