Does anyone know a good CAD system which produce a pipeline longitudinal profile drawing with the tabulated ground level, depth, invert level, pipe size, slope etc running along the bottom of the long section ? We need a program which can automatically update these parameters whenever the GL or IL is changed.
Even better would be a program which could automatically generate the hydraulic parameters from, say, specified upstream pressure and flowrate.
Better still if the program could handle static pressure, working pressure pressure ratings and test pressures along the pipeline.
Finally if the program could tabulate pipeline apurtenances (air valves, washouts, isolations valves etc) and produce an inventory table.
I think "autocad/deskcad pipeworks" can do some of these things but it seems to be based on drainage pipes rather than water transmission pipes.
