what is the PODS pipeline data model? “PODS is mission critical” The PODS Pipeline Data Model provides the database architecture Pipeline Operators use to store critical information and analysis data about their pipeline systems, and to manage this data geospatially in a linear-referenced database which can then be visualized in any GIS platform. PODS stores asset specifications, inspections, integrity, regulatory compliance, risk, historic, operational and geographic information, to support the visualization, analysis, and systematic decision making required for responsible pipeline management.

what PODS does for pipeline companies • PODS delivers a comprehensive and robust pipeline data architecture which meets the information and technological requirements of today’s pipeline companies. • PODS lowers the risk, cost, and time required to implement a pipeline GIS. Maintaining a single pipeline data repository helps Pipeline Operators to improve the quality, quantity and timeliness of pipeline information managed. Providing clear, concise definitions, and the ability to clearly delineate data ownership, PODS promotes better business processes and work flows, and reduces data transfer between software applications and multiple databases. • PODS leverages a broad knowledge-base, across multiple pipeline operating companies and service providers, who have worked collaboratively since 1998 to develop and refine the PODS Pipeline Data Model, deemed the best-practice pipeline data architecture in the industry. • PODS is an Open Standard. This allows multiple vendors to develop software products to interact with the PODS database. Pipeline Operators can choose software applications based on features, cost, and usability, rather than being tied to a single vendor’s proprietary data model. • PODS supports the growing needs of the pipeline industry through effective and collaborative efforts. Membership immediately networks you into a global PODS community, and access to a wealth of technical knowledge and experience from other PODS members is made available to you. 1
