Description:

The second Panel Map job Augusta performed for Columbia Gas Transmission pertained to the Columbia Gulf Transmission Pipeline which ran from the Gulf of Mexico to West Virginia, and bordering states, passing through the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.

When the Gas Control groups of both Columbia Gulf and Columbia Gas Transmission merged the decision was made to update the Columbia Gulf system into the Panel Maps which had been designed for Columbia Gas Transmission. The Gulf system contained three existing maps designed from the first Panel Map project Augusta performed for Columbia. There were 13 new panels manufactured for a total of 16 panel maps. Each of the panel maps were nominally sized 36” x 57”. In all, the maps detailed approximately 4,300 miles of pipeline.

The maps all met the following requirements as identified by Gas Control. Requirements were: high level schematic representation of the pipeline system, mainline (size and name), mainline valves (size, name and location), crossovers, bypasses and interconnects, facilities (measurement, compression, storage areas), geographic boundaries (states, counties, roads, streams, rivers, lakes), foreign lines (affiliates and non affiliates). The panel maps were all drawn with the above information to show relative positions of lines, crossings and other facilities relative to the state and county borders.
