Pipeline Network Design Part-1: Drawing Pipelines & Surface Data

Water Supply Project Design

Alignment along a road and adding surface data points in Google Earth.

Welcome to Part 1 of the Pipeline Network Design series! In this video, we'll dive into drawing a pipeline alignment along a road and adding surface data points in Google Earth. Learn how to position pipeline routes and align surface points 10 meters parallel to the pipeline using Google Earth and Civil 3D. This foundational tutorial is perfect for engineers and planners working with pressure networks, gravity mains, and distribution pipelines. Stay tuned for the next part, where we’ll assign elevations to our pipeline using QGIS and a GPS visualization tool.
