Pipeline Services

Utilizing the Tobin brand of extensive commercial landbase products, our custom service department prepares a basic centerline pipeline route.

Using survey and cultural landbase features, the Tobin custom services department establishes tie points along the line either from a generalized pipeline system map, engineering alignment sheet or facility coordinates.

The proposed centerline is then viewed against current ortho-rectified aerial photographs (if available), digital ortho-quarter quads (DOQQs), and/or Tobin U.S.G.S. seamless 7.5' topo map base.

Validated Centerline with DOQQ

Validated Centerline with U.S.G.S.

Tobin works closely with our customers to verify the accuracy of the centerline route resulting in a certified pipeline centerline. In developing strong relationships with our business partners, we are able to provide specialized pipeline expertise. This partnership may be required to implement a fully integrated facility management GIS system. This partnership also enables our customers to generate a return on their investment in the development of an accurate, certified pipeline centerline.

Customers can use the certified pipeline centerline route to meet a wide variety of business applications:

• Generate pipeline assignment sheets
• One-call reporting
• Pipeline integrity management
• Public awareness program
• Risk assessment
• Ad valorem tax determination
• Right-of-way management
• Permit tracking
• Contract management
• Environmental analysis

Tobin also provides services to create custom digital and/or paper pipeline maps with the certified pipeline centerline, which can be used for regulatory filings (DOT or TxRRC) and S-1 or trade show exhibits.
