The Middle Volga gas company implemented a software package for project works

The Middle Volga gas company implemented the software package for preparation of the work documentation on gas pipelines developed based on an automated design engineering system of KOMPAS. As a result labor productivity of engineers of SVGK grew several times. The project is implemented with the assistance of ASCON-Samara company, the platinum partner of ASCON.

Middle Volga Gas Company LLC is engaged in operation and development of gas economy in the territory of the Samara region. As the basic system of preparation and release of the project documentation the universal automated design engineering system the Compas-Grafik of ASCON company was selected from SVGK in 2005. On its basis the specialized software package for preparation of the work documentation on gas pipelines meeting the requirements and tasks of the enterprise is also created.

"Implementation of the automated formation of a profile of the gas pipeline allowed to increase labor productivity several times, – the head of department of project works SVGK Evgeny Aleksandrovich Egortsev notes.

It became much simpler to work on creation of projects. Earlier after carrying out topological shooting of the area designers needed to perform manually laborious work of formation of a profile of the gas pipeline. It required many hours of the scrupulous work fraught with errors. "Now an electronic system itself "reads" a topographical survey and transfers it to a format, convenient for designers. All regulations of laying of gas pipelines are already put in the program. So a system provides the fast automated formation of drawings, emergence of errors is practically excluded", – Sergey Valeryevich Efremov, the engineer of the CAD group of Management of project works SVGK says.

The software package based on the COMPASS system allows to solve also new problems. For example, for laying of gas pipelines more than 10 kilometers long specialists ASCON-Samara offered a method of processing of big topographical surveies with which it was difficult to work in the normal mode. So, if the file which turned out as a result of digitization with the image of a topoplan is too big, the specialist breaks it into fragments and works with each of parts separately. At the same time a system "knows" that the designed fragments of the gas pipeline are a part of a whole, and taking into account it creates all branch of the gas pipeline, provides aggregated data.
