AUTOMATED METHOD OF DETERMINING THE PLACES OF INSTALLING PUMPING STATIONS AT THE ROUTE OF THE COLLAPSIBLE OIL PRODUCT PIPELINE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01C7/04 G01S19/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pipeline transport, in particular to automated methods using satellite navigation in the engineering surveying of a pipeline route, and may find application during the deployment of collapsible oil product pipelines (COPP), mainly in cases where it is necessary to determine the location of pumping stations (PS) on the pipeline of oil product pipelines consisting of sectional pipeline modules with a quick-release socket connection. In the claimed method, moving along the actual track of the COPP on the mobile vehicle, the navigation equipment of GLONASS signal users installed on it with the software data processing unit, in which, as the database, the estimated length of the route with its geodetic marks, the daily performance of the COPP and the maximum head of the PS expected to be installed on the track, the corrected parameter values are obtained at the final point of the route: length and profile of the actual COPP route, the required number of PS, the optimal delivery and working head pressure of the PS, which ensure the given performance of the COPP.

EFFECT: increasing the accuracy of determining the location of the NS on the actual track of the COPP without reducing the requirement to ensure its specified daily capacity and, as a consequence, increasing operational efficiency.
