Municipal GIS incorporates database from pipelines. Anon. Pipe Line Ind., May 1994, 77(5), 24--25.
Application of a geographic information system (GIS) in Texas is described. The database programme includes street, subdivision, survey, utilities, taxing criteria, hydrology, topography, environmental, and other concerns. Information is readily available for authorities concerned with odorants, possible leaks, and the proximity of residential areas to potential hazards. GIS software features are discussed. Public safety from pipelines transporting hazardous, toxic, and volatile products is a primary requirement. Effects of simulated leaks of toxic materials are described. The integration of GIS database layers with other operations in environmentally sensitive areas is discussed.
