Gas HCA Analyst Released by New Century Software: New Settings Provide Operators a More Tailored Approach to Pipeline Integrity Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 11, 2010 -- Fort Collins, Colo. - - New Century Software has released the latest version of Gas HCA Analyst, a highly configurable application designed to identify Class Location and High Consequence Areas on gas pipelines and determine regulated onshore gathering lines. The tool addresses the specific integrity management framework of the gas pipeline operator through a series of flexible settings that accommodate clustering, structure snapping methods, centerline disconnects and geometric networks.

Gas HCA Analyst meets the continuous improvement element of pipeline integrity management by storing the operator’s configuration settings, applying those settings on future analyses, and producing time-based comparisons of the pipeline network. Every Class Location and HCA determination is accompanied by the project settings and related metadata for project validation. Those results can be distributed as Crystal Reports, tabular files, or feature classes in ArcMap.

A webinar is being offered on May 27th for pipeline operators interested in a demonstration of Gas HCA Analyst. Register online at http://www.newcenturysoftware.com/products/gas_hca_analyst.html.
