PipeBooks © is a proprietary as-built pipeline application designed by inspectors (LB Inspections, LLC) and surveyors (Harned Surveying and Engineering, Inc.) for use by our crews and is available to our clients to streamline data capture and reporting.  As regulatory requirements for pipeline construction have expanded, tools to meet these needs have followed but typically are task specific.  PipeBooks crosses the boundary between inspection and survey tasks so that data collection is shared, accurate, timely, and secure.  Decades of field experience and problem solving have been boiled down into an intuitive web/tablet-based application that’s flexible enough to meet specific client and project documentation needs and also adapt as the pipeline industry and governing authorities change over time.
