1 Paperless As-Builting with Tracking & Traceability AGA Material Tracking & Traceability Workshop - Danielle Mark (PG&E) and Alicia Farag ( LocusView) 1

2 OVERVIEW Paperless As-Builting with Tracking & Traceability Technology Overview Implementation at PG&E Closing Thoughts 2

3 PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING VISION Data required for asset lifecycle management is captured automatically and electronically in the field during construction Data collection is efficient and non-duplicative Real-time QA/QC monitors workmanship quality and data quality Data is delivered to enterprise systems in near real-time 3

4 PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING REQUIREMENTS Data collection requirements: GIS and Mapping Engineering O&M Integrity Management Damage Prevention Quality Accounting Supply Chain Heath & Safety 4

5 PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING DATA TYPES Data types: Asset Location and Geometry Material Properties Joint/Fusion/Weld Parameters OQ Status Pressure Test Record Quality Inspections 5

6 PAPERLESS AS-BUILTING DATA SOURCES Data sources: Asset Location and Geometry - GPS Material Properties ASTM F2897 Barcode OQ Status OQ Cards Fusion Parameters Fusion Machine Pressure Test Record Pressure Sensor Quality Inspections Visual and Pictures Pipeline Internet of Things 6

7 TECHNOLOGY 7

8 MOBILE APPLICATION Workflow driven for ease of use, but flexible to accommodate various situations (bores, inserts, GPS unavailability, no ASTM barcode) Intuitive user interface that logically guides the user to the next step and provides useful messages. Integrates with various sensors to automate data collection (GPS, barcode scanner, fusion machine, pressure sensor) Real-time validations to ensure quality workmanship and quality data collection 8

9 MATERIAL TRACEABILITY Reads and decodes ASTM F2987 (or other) barcodes Creates GIS features and populates attribute information Performs real-time validations Maps assets with GPS (sub-meter, sub-foot, decimeter) 9

10 JOINT TRACEABILITY Creates joint (weld, fusion, or mechanical fitting) traceability barcode Captures machine make, model, and calibration date Captures parameter data from fusion machines 10

11 OQ TRACEABILITY Records OQ status for various field activities Uses third-party or custom OQ cards 11

12 PRESSURE TEST TRACEABILITY Creates a verifiable pressure test record that is associated with specific assets or project numbers Monitors tests against pre-defined requirements Provides real-time monitoring and alerts 12

13 WEB APPLICATION Integrates all field collected data into a single database Visualizes data in an Esri GIS environment Allows data reviewing, querying, editing, and extracting 13

15 IMPLEMENTATION AT PG&E 15

16 PG&E PROJECT SCOPE GPS and material traceability o Nine field users o 3-4 months Fusion, OQ, and pressure test traceability Print ASTM F2897 labels for assets without barcodes 16

17 BARCODE READABILITY ISSUES Curvature Shiny background Contrast with laser etching Durability during installation Labels in bag instead of on fitting Improper sizing or location 17

18 Compared pictures/final paper asbuilt to maps Confirm known issues o Decreased GPS performance close to buildings and under trees New findings o Potential issues with slanted GPS pole FIELD VERIFICATION Lessons learned o Need GPS alternative workflow o Technology vs training solutions 18

19 FIELD USER FEEDBACK ISSUE Bluetooth disconnecting GPS taking too long to get to required accuracy LOCUSMAP 3.0 SOLUTION Integrated devices, automatic reconnecting Guided workflow to tell the user when to wait longer and when to use alternative workflow I forgot to charge the device Integrated devices, improved case Needs to be more like my fish finder Guided workflow with prompts and intuitive buttons 19

20 NEXT PHASE 2017 Implement LocusMap 3.0 Formal IT and GIS integration project Increase # of users Increase applications for technology o Other O&M activities - repairs o Locates Continue working with manufacturers to: o Implement ASTM F2897 barcodes o Resolve barcode label readability issues 20

21 CLOSING THOUGHTS ASTM F2897 can be the foundation for, but should not be the limit of, automated field data collection during construction. Technology can drive quality. The workflow should drive the technology, the technology should not drive the workflow. 21
