MOORE Resource Systems
Introduces
PipeHCA Product

Campbellville, ON, Canada, January 26, 2004 – Moore Resource Systems, part of Enghouse Systems Limited’s (TSX:ESL) Asset Management Division, is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of their PipeHCA tool.

PipeHCA is the High Consequence Area Risk Analysis module of MOORE’s PipeWORKS suite of applications. PipeHCA is tailor made for the pipeline transmission industry, and generates reports in a format required by an operator’s Integrity Management Program (IMP). PipeHCA works with your existing data management system to provide graphical and tabular reports to assess the risks associated with pipeline segments affecting High Consequence Areas (HCA's).

PipeHCA is a flexible read-only ESRI based application that allows an operator to meet the required regulations established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for Liquid and Gas commodities.

PipeHCA currently, is aimed at operators of hazardous Liquid pipeline facilities. Three levels of impact analysis are taken into consideration, which combine to provide a complete, conservative method to impact modeling: Direct Impact Analysis, Indirect Impact Analysis and Potential Impact Analysis.

PipeHCA is a tool that will help your business:

  • Remain compliant with DOT regulations.
  • Retrieve relevant information from your corporate database and present it in the appropriate report format.
  • Identify all pipeline segments that could affect HCA’s.
  • Produce up-to-date analysis data when it is needed.
  • Make information more reliable to the people who need it.

PipeHCA is the ideal application solution for businesses that are building an Integrity Management Program (IMP). Your engineers can use PipeHCA to effectively assess risk and facilitate decision-making in managing pipeline integrity.

PipeHCA benefits:

  • Data is open and directly portable to IMP.
  • Improve staff productivity by auto-generating a single report or multiple reports for a particular pipeline segment while your staff work on other tasks simultaneously.
  • Make information more reliable to the people who need it.

PipeHCA will incorporate features for Gas impact analysis in late calendar year 2004.

PipeHCA one element of the Risk Management and Pipeline Integrity services portfolio MOORE offers to enable your company to address the current focus on pipeline safety and security issues.

PipeWORKS is a suite of applications, which includes PipeASG, PipeEDIT, PipeMAP, PipeNET and PipeNPMS.
