Hello everyone, we have a project to create a pipeline hierarchy for a specific facility to support pipeline maintenance activities. We will be utilizing an excel worksheet to input data extracted from the P&ID drawings, which will then be transferred to the CMMS system. The following are the key columns that need to be completed: - System & System # (Utility, Process, HSE, etc.) - Subsystem & Subsystem # (Gas Compression, Steam, Fire Pro., etc.) - Pipeline Identification Number - Upstream or Downstream Equipment Are there any additional fields (columns) that should be included to enhance the pipeline hierarchy structure? Thank you in advance. Albert
In our CMMS system, we have detailed data for piping classification including line number, service, class, insulation type and thickness, length and size, test pressure, operating temperature and pressure, and other key information essential for our inspection team's efficiency. This comprehensive data set in our CMMS aids in ensuring proper maintenance and management of piping assets.
Are Object Link and Object Network features available in AMOS software? Can these functionalities help streamline your business processes?
Hello Panuphan, thank you for your response. Could you please share other fields that may be useful for the inspection team? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Josh, we are utilizing Maximo for our pipeline hierarchy. Thank you, Albert.
Are there any features in Maximo that allow you to connect and organize piping systems after they have been registered as assets?
Dear Albert, Have you considered using piping ISO instead of P&IDs for your piping database? P&IDs may not provide all the detailed information you need, such as line lengths which are crucial for maintenance activities like 'hydrojetting of pipelines'. Do you have access to a piping ISO for this purpose? In our hierarchy, we categorize entities into different levels: Plant (e.g. power or desalination plant), Part of Plant/G-Unit (e.g. desalination plant, hydrogen generation plant), System (e.g. feedwater system, desalination unit-A), Sub-system (if needed), Equipment location, and Equipment. Various entity classifications like 'pipe', 'hanger', 'insulation', and others are organized under these categories. The quantity of entities entered in the CMMS can vary depending on site requirements. For more details, please refer to the attached document showing the count of entities for one site. Thank you.

Hi Albert! It sounds like you're off to a great start. One column that could be useful to add would be the material of construction or pipeline type (steel, PVC, etc.) as it could affect the maintenance requirements. Additionally, you may also include columns for pipeline diameter and length, as these could impact the volume and cost of repairs. Lastly, a column indicating the date of the last inspection or maintenance could be useful for planning future activities. Hope this helps!
Hi Albert, it's great to see the detail you're putting into this project. One column I would suggest adding is 'Lifecycle Stage' - which could range from initial planning, installation, maintenance, or decommissioning phases. This additional information can provide a comprehensive view of where in the lifecycle each pipeline currently stands, enabling more effective and targeted maintenance planning. Another could be 'Inspection Date', this column can hold information about the last time the pipeline was inspected, which again can lead to more effective maintenance scheduling. Hope this helps!
Hey Albert, sounds like a well-structured project you got there! One column you might consider adding is "Material Type" for the pipelines (ex: PVC, cast iron, steel, etc.) as this can significantly affect maintenance requirements. Also, an "Installation Date" might be a good addition to anticipate life-cycle related maintenance. A "Last Inspection Date" and "Next Scheduled Inspection" would be elegant to keep up with preventive maintenance schedules. Lastly, a "Notes" section for any unusual features or issues observed might be beneficial. Good luck with your project!
