5 Abstract This research work primarily centered about the digital mapping and infrastructure management of Natural gas distribution network in Geographical Information System (GIS) for operational planning and management. Traditionally Natural gas distribution network managed manually on paper maps and information collected with the help of field survey and observations of ground staff, it has many faults such as complexity in probing earlier records and revision updates, its time consuming and resource intensive task. On the other hand deploying GIS digital maps, Roads, buildings and network digitally mapped. Different gas distribution network features like town border stations, valves; Cathodic protection stations, High pressure and industrial consumers are mapped in layers and overlaid on the base map. A refined database has been drafted digitally, which stores the needed information for decision making, future planning and analysis such as location of nearest valve for meeting emergencies, location of main and branch pipelines, pressure of town border stations etc. Digital mapping of Natural gas distribution network in GIS can help in planning operations and maintenance, easy retrieval of records, cost exclusion of site surveys for new projects and improving material management. The integrations of analytical tools and spatial database will be allowing planning more economically and efficiently for natural gas distribution network.

6 Introduction Gas Network Data Labor intensive Field Survey Need of Resource Planning GIS based Database Management This research work primarily centered about the digital mapping and infrastructure management of Natural gas distribution network in Geographical Information System (GIS) for operational planning and management

7 Methodology o Collection of Manual Drawings and scanning o Satellite Image Processing and Base Map Preparation o Digitization of Parcels and Roads o Rectification and Digitization of Manual Drawings o Regional Data Verification and Validation o Ground Truthing and Verification o Process and Analyze the data o Result valuation and Decision Making

8 Resources used GIS resource person Infrastructure data Attribute Data Survey Large Scale Scanner GIS based Vector Data Plotter User

9 Natural Gas Network Database

10 Data Base Components GIS based Vector data Date of Installation Valve Maintence conditions Valve Pit Condition Size of Valve Attribute of Valves This indicates the date on which valves was installed Cleaning, Painting, Lubrication Rcc, Pcc, Cover Diameter of Valve in Inches Location Name of TBS Size Date of installation By Pass No. of Valves Pressure setting Pressure setting Pressure Gauge Pressure Gauge Fencing Painting Locked Remarks Size of Pipeline Strat Site Name End site Name Wall thickness Length Coating Material of Pipeline Attribute Values Place Name Inches mm.dd.year Yes/No No. Outlet(PSI) Inlet(PSI) Upstream Downstream Condition Condition Yes/No Sentence Diameter in inches Name of place where pipeline starts Name of place where pipeline ends Inches KM (Automated) 3 Layer PE or tar coal coating PE/MS Attribute of Pipes

11 GIS based Analysis required everyday Query How many Pipelines in KMs of Specific Diameter in an area? Measuring the length of Pipeline on screen? Percentage of queries 40% 20% Editing and drawing new features? 1% How to Search a Place by its name? 1% Coordinate of Specific Point in the map with its name or coordinates? Map creation on specific scale? 30% How to Share data with others in.jpg format? 1% 5% How to Draw coordinate of specific place on the map? 4%

12 Conclusions Proposal Preparation Help in Centralized Management Mitigation of Manual Drawings Mitigation of Staff Compliance of Regulations
