Design of high consequence area identification system software of long-distance pipeline

High consequence area (HCA) identification and statistics of long-distance pipeline are greatly influenced by human factors, which result in lengthy identification process and large consumption of labor and material. The identification results exhibit features of inconvenient query, poor versatility and inconvenient post treatment, and they cannot be effectively applied in the identification process in the following year. According to Q/SY 1180.2-2009, a China standard, a complete set of software framework is designed with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The software can be used for risk assessment, integrity assessment and database structure/performance evaluation of pipelines. It incorporates a complete database of high consequence factors and can eliminate the identification error, classification error, scoring error and other human errors of the operators during high consequence factors identification. Complete and standardized HCA identification reports are formed to avoid statistical errors by using the software to integrate all the data. Consistent electronic and written reports are generated in cost and time-effective manner. Thus, a unified integrity management platform is formed to further improve the pipeline integrity.
