Industries · Pipeline

Built for linear sites,kilometre by kilometre.

Progress by chainage, consumption per joint, plant on every spread — and a warning before the electrodes run out.

Chainage progress

Progress by chainage,not by guesswork.

Supervisors log chainage ranges — KP 4+200 → KP 4+450. SPADE draws the spread and shows what is done, in progress and blocked.

  • Ranges checked against the route
  • Overlaps rejected before they reach the ledger
  • Gaps and blocked sections visible at a glance

Joints, welds & spreads

The units pipeline crewsactually count.

  • P/1

    Spreads as sites

    Each spread is a linear site with its own route, crew, stores and plant — rolled up to the project.

  • P/2

    Metres, joints and welds

    Log each activity in the unit the crew counts, converted for you.

  • P/3

    Norms per joint

    Electrode and coating consumption norms per joint drive run-out and material-to-complete projections.

Worked example

When do the electrodesrun out?

A generic 12 km spread, worked the way SPADE works it — every number traceable to approved logs.

  1. 1

    Rate

    4.2 km laid in 18 working days — about 233 m per day.

  2. 2

    Remaining

    7.8 km left of 12 km — about 33 working days at that rate.

  3. 3

    Stock

    Electrodes on hand cover about 9 days at the weighted daily use.

  4. 4

    Lead time

    14-day lead time: flagged today, with the quantity to finish.

Plant on spreads

Service beforeit breaks.

Meter and fuel logs predict the next service by real usage — hours or calendar, whichever comes first.

  • Sidebooms, welders, excavators and generators per spread
  • Fuel per engine hour, faults and work orders
  • 250 h, 500 h and 1,000 h plans with nested services

SB-04 · Sideboom

Working
By hours likely in 6–9 days · 412 of 500 h
By calendar in 23 days · day 67 of 90

Whichever comes first → service due in likely 6–9 days
