Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipeline work support system, a pipeline work support server, and a program for controlling a pipeline work support system, which assist in construction and maintenance management of pipelines including, for example, water supply pipes.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, pipeline work includes multiple processes such as investigation, planning and design, construction work, and maintenance management. Since various processes are required in each process, it has been proposed to coordinate these processes. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a sewer laying design support system that totally links a series of data processing processes from data input to sewer planning and design, construction work, and post-laying management to improve work efficiency and labor saving.

[0003] In the sewer laying design support system, numerical values, calculation conditions, drawing, and tabulation conditions handled in sewer laying design are set in advance. Based on the current situation map data and existing buried object position data, when setting sewer plan data that three-dimensionally represents the sewer laying route, it is verified that the set flow rate calculated according to the numerical values and calculation conditions is within the allowable range. Based on the verified sewer plan data, a plan drawing and a plan calculation sheet are created according to the drawing and tabulation conditions. Also, in the sewer laying design support system, when the set flow rate is not within the allowable range, it is instructed to reset the sewer plan data. The plan drawing is re-prepared after completion of construction into sewer facility data that can be linked with the GIS system.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] Incidentally, in construction projects such as pipeline construction, information generated during design and construction and information generated during maintenance are managed separately. For example, the information generated during design and construction is mainly used for design and construction, and is therefore stored on a management server for design and construction. Similarly, the information generated during maintenance is mainly used for maintenance, and is therefore stored on a management server for maintenance. As a result, the information management systems for design and construction and maintenance are different, and information has not been shared between them.

[0006] In response to this, there is a desire in pipeline construction projects to improve efficiency by sharing information between design / construction and maintenance / management.

[0007] The objective of the present invention is to realize a pipeline construction project support system, a pipeline construction project support server, and a pipeline construction project support system control program that enable the sharing of information between design and construction and maintenance and management in pipeline construction projects to improve efficiency. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention supports pipeline construction projects. The pipeline construction project support system includes a pipeline construction project support server, a design and construction server capable of communicating with the pipeline construction project support server, a design and construction calculation terminal capable of performing calculations related to design and construction and capable of communicating with the design and construction server, a maintenance server capable of communicating with the pipeline construction project support server, and a maintenance calculation terminal capable of performing calculations related to maintenance and capable of communicating with the maintenance server. The pipeline construction project support server includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires design and construction-related information input from the design and construction calculation terminal to the design and construction server, and maintenance-related information input from the maintenance and management calculation terminal to the maintenance and management server; an information storage unit that stores the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information acquired by the information acquisition unit, linked by at least one ID, such as a business entity ID, a construction ID, or a pipeline ID; and a data output unit that outputs design and construction calculation information used for the design and construction calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit in response to an input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal, and also outputs maintenance calculation information used for the maintenance calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit in response to an input operation to the maintenance and management calculation terminal (first configuration).

[0009] This allows design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information to be linked by at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, project ID, or pipeline ID, and stored in the pipeline construction project support server. Therefore, design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information can be centrally managed on the pipeline construction project support server. Consequently, design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information can be managed efficiently.

[0010] Furthermore, the pipeline construction project support server outputs design and construction calculation information based on the information stored in the information storage unit, through input operations to the design and construction calculation terminal, and outputs maintenance and management calculation information through input operations to the maintenance and management calculation terminal. Therefore, by utilizing the information stored in the information storage unit, it is possible to easily obtain the information necessary during design and construction and maintenance and management, respectively.

[0011] In this way, by centrally managing design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information on the pipeline construction project support server, and by enabling the output of necessary information during design and construction and maintenance from the information stored on the pipeline construction project support server, a pipeline construction project support system can be realized that facilitates design, construction, and maintenance.

[0012] In the first configuration described above, the information storage unit stores the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information on the mapping data, linking them together with at least one ID: the business entity ID, the construction ID, or the pipeline ID (second configuration).

[0013] This allows design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information to be linked and managed on the mapping data using at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID. Therefore, the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information can be managed together with location information. Consequently, information that is easy to use for design, construction, and maintenance can be stored in the information storage unit, making it easier to perform design, construction, and maintenance using this information.

[0014] In the first configuration described above, the design and construction-related information includes information about pipelines designed for each construction ID. The data output unit of the pipeline construction project support server has a pipeline coupling information generation unit that combines multiple pipes in the pipeline based on the pipeline information stored in the information storage unit and assigns a coupled pipeline ID to the combined information. The data output unit outputs the information combined by the pipeline coupling information generation unit as the maintenance and management calculation information (third configuration).

[0015] As a result, the pipeline construction project support server can assign a pipeline ID to pipeline information obtained by combining multiple pipes in a pipeline based on design and construction-related information, and output it as maintenance and management calculation information. Therefore, the pipeline construction project support server can output the design and construction-related information in a compact data size by combining it, rather than outputting it as is. This combined information can then be used, for example, in maintenance and management.

[0016] Therefore, design and construction-related information can be output in a compact data format and used for maintenance and management purposes.

[0017] In the third configuration described above, the pipeline coupling information generation unit combines the plurality of pipes based on at least one of the pipe attribute information, pipeline branching, and pipeline equipment obtained from the pipeline information, and assigns the pipeline ID to the combined information (fourth configuration).

[0018] This allows multiple pipes in a pipeline to be connected based on information about the pipeline, a pipeline ID to be assigned to the connected information, and that information to be output to the information storage unit. Thus, the pipeline connection information generation unit in the third configuration can be realized.

[0019] In the first configuration described above, the maintenance-related information includes information on pipeline maintenance managed for each maintenance ID. The data output unit of the pipeline construction project support server has a pipeline information conversion unit that converts the pipeline maintenance information stored in the information storage unit into pipeline information for design and construction. The data output unit outputs the pipeline information converted by the pipeline information conversion unit as the design and construction calculation information (fifth configuration).

[0020] This allows the pipeline maintenance information entered into the maintenance server to be converted into pipeline information for design and construction, and output as design and construction calculation information, which can then be used for design and construction.

[0021] Therefore, design and construction can be easily carried out using the pipeline information for design and construction converted from the information related to pipeline maintenance management.

[0022] In the fifth configuration, the information related to pipeline maintenance management is information in which the maintenance management ID corresponding to the water distribution area is assigned to at least one of the pipeline and the equipment in the pipeline (sixth configuration).

[0023] Thereby, at least one of the pipeline and the equipment in the pipeline can be managed by the maintenance management ID corresponding to the water distribution area. Therefore, maintenance management can be easily carried out.

[0024] The pipeline construction work support server according to an embodiment of the present invention supports a construction work related to a pipeline. The pipeline construction work support server includes design and construction related information related to design and construction input from a design and construction calculation terminal capable of performing calculation processing related to design and construction to a design and construction server capable of communicating with the design and construction calculation terminal and the pipeline construction work support server, and maintenance management related information related to maintenance management input from a maintenance management calculation terminal capable of performing calculation processing related to maintenance management to a maintenance management server capable of communicating with the maintenance management calculation terminal and the pipeline construction work support server, an information input unit into which the information is respectively input, an information storage unit that associates and stores the design and construction related information and the maintenance management related information input to the information input unit by at least one of an enterprise ID, a construction ID, or a pipeline ID, and an input operation on the design and construction calculation terminal outputs design and construction calculation information used for the calculation processing related to the design and construction based on the information stored in the information storage unit, while an input operation on the maintenance management calculation terminal outputs maintenance management calculation information used for the calculation processing related to the maintenance management based on the information stored in the information storage unit, and a data output unit.

[0025] As a result, the design and construction related information and the maintenance and management related information can be linked by at least one of the business entity ID, the construction work ID, or the pipeline ID and stored in the pipeline construction work support server. Therefore, the design and construction related information and the maintenance and management related information can be centrally managed by the pipeline construction work support server. Accordingly, the design and construction related information and the maintenance and management related information can be efficiently managed.

[0026] Moreover, the pipeline construction work support server outputs design and construction calculation information by an input operation on the design and construction calculation terminal and outputs maintenance and management calculation information by an input operation on the maintenance and management calculation terminal based on the information stored in the information storage unit. Therefore, the information required during design and construction and during maintenance and management can be easily obtained using the information stored in the information storage unit.

[0027] In this way, by centrally managing the design and construction related information and the maintenance and management related information in the pipeline construction work support server and enabling the output of the information required during design and construction and during maintenance and management respectively from the information stored in the pipeline construction work support server, design and construction and maintenance and management can be easily carried out.

[0028] A control program for a pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention supports pipeline construction projects. The pipeline construction project support system control program causes the pipeline construction project support server to acquire design and construction-related information input from a design and construction calculation terminal capable of performing design and construction calculations, and to a design and construction server that can communicate with the design and construction calculation terminal and the pipeline construction project support server, and maintenance-related information input from a maintenance calculation terminal capable of performing maintenance calculations, and to a maintenance server that can communicate with the maintenance calculation terminal and the pipeline construction project support server, respectively. The program stores the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information input to the information input unit, linked by at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, the project ID, or the pipeline ID. Based on the information stored in the information storage unit, the program causes the design and construction calculation information used for the design and construction calculations to be output by an input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal, while also causing the program to output maintenance calculation information used for the maintenance calculations to be output by an input operation to the maintenance calculation terminal, based on the information stored in the information storage unit.

[0029] This allows design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information to be linked by at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, project ID, or pipeline ID, and stored in the pipeline construction project support server. Therefore, design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information can be centrally managed on the pipeline construction project support server. Consequently, design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information can be managed efficiently.

[0030] Furthermore, the pipeline construction project support server outputs design and construction calculation information based on the information stored in the information storage unit, through input operations to the design and construction calculation terminal, and outputs maintenance and management calculation information through input operations to the maintenance and management calculation terminal. Therefore, by utilizing the information stored in the information storage unit, it is possible to easily obtain the information necessary during design and construction and maintenance and management, respectively.

[0031] In this way, design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information are centrally managed on the pipeline construction project support server, and the necessary information for design and construction and maintenance can be output from the information stored on the pipeline construction project support server, making design, construction, and maintenance easier. [Effects of the Invention]

[0032] A pipeline construction project support system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a pipeline construction project support server, a design and construction server, a design and construction calculation terminal, a maintenance server, and a maintenance calculation terminal. The pipeline construction project support server includes an information acquisition unit that acquires design and construction-related information input from the design and construction calculation terminal to the design and construction server and maintenance-related information input from the maintenance calculation terminal to the maintenance server, respectively; an information storage unit that stores the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information linked by at least one ID, such as a business entity ID, a construction ID, or a pipeline ID; and a data output unit that outputs design and construction calculation information used for design and construction calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit in response to an input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal, while outputting maintenance calculation information used for maintenance calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit in response to an input operation to the maintenance calculation terminal.

[0033] In this way, by centrally managing design and construction-related information and maintenance-related information on the pipeline construction project support server, and by enabling the output of necessary information during design and construction and maintenance from the information stored on the pipeline construction project support server, a pipeline construction project support system can be realized that facilitates design, construction, and maintenance.

[0035] The following describes each embodiment with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of those parts will not be repeated. Note that the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the dimensions of the actual components or the dimensional ratios of each component.

[0036] (Water pipe construction project support system) Figure 1 is a functional block diagram showing the schematic configuration of the water pipe construction project support system 1 (pipeline construction project support system) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The water pipe construction project support system 1 efficiently manages design and construction information and maintenance information in water pipe pipeline construction projects (water pipe construction projects), thereby efficiently performing calculations in design, construction, and maintenance. In other words, the water pipe construction project support system 1 is a system that supports water pipe construction projects.

[0037] The water pipe construction project support system 1 comprises a design and construction calculation terminal 10, a design and construction server 20, a maintenance and management calculation terminal 30, a maintenance and management server 40, and a water pipe construction project support server 50 (pipeline construction project support server).

[0038] (Design and construction) The design and construction calculation terminal 10 is configured to perform necessary input tasks during design and construction, and to perform the necessary calculations for design and construction, and to display design and construction-related information DA1. The design and construction calculation terminal 10 includes a design and construction calculation terminal communication unit 11, a design and construction input unit 12, a design and construction calculation unit 13, a design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14, and a design and construction display unit 15.

[0039] The design and construction calculation terminal 10 may be composed of, for example, a computer device, or a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. The design and construction calculation terminal 10 may have any configuration as long as it is capable of communicating with the design and construction server 20 and performing calculations. The design and construction calculation terminal 10 may also be configured to output display data to another display unit.

[0040] The design and construction computing terminal communication unit 11 is configured to communicate with the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20. The design and construction computing terminal communication unit 11 is composed of a communication device capable of wireless communication or wired communication such as LAN.

[0041] Figure 2 schematically illustrates the transmission and reception of information between the design and construction calculation terminal 10 and the design and construction server 20. As shown in Figure 2, the design and construction calculation terminal communication unit 11 of the design and construction calculation terminal 10 transmits the design and construction-related information DA1, which will be described later, along with the ID information DA2, from the design and construction calculation unit 13 to the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20. At the same time, it receives information DA3, which is necessary for design and construction calculations, from the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20, which is stored in the design and construction server storage unit 22. This information necessary for design and construction calculations includes attribute data and design and construction calculation information DA5, which will be described later.

[0042] The design and construction input unit 12 is configured to allow workers to input information used in design and construction calculations. The design and construction input unit 12 includes, for example, an input terminal that allows input operations such as a mouse, keyboard, and input screen.

[0043] The design and construction calculation unit 13 performs calculation processing necessary for design and construction using at least one piece of information necessary for design and construction calculations, which is information input by input operations to the design and construction input unit 12, information stored in the design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14, and information DA3 necessary for design and construction calculations obtained from the design and construction server 20 via the design and construction calculation terminal communication unit 11. The design and construction calculation unit 13 generates, for example, design and construction-related information DA1 related to design and construction through the calculation processing necessary for design and construction. The design and construction calculation unit 13 includes a computing device capable of executing calculation processing, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The design and construction calculation unit 13 outputs the calculation result, including the design and construction-related information DA1, to the design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14.

[0044] The calculations required for the design and construction include, for example, calculations related to pipeline design, calculations for generating design and construction-related information DA1, calculations related to the construction plan, and calculations related to the creation of submission documents, etc.

[0045] Design and Construction Related Information DA1 includes information related to pipeline design, construction planning, construction, and submitted documents. Design and Construction Related Information DA1 is linked to ID Information DA2. ID Information DA2 includes the utility ID, contractor ID, project ID, pipeline ID, etc. The utility ID is an ID assigned to each utility to identify the water utility (utility). The contractor ID is an ID assigned to each contractor to identify the water contractor (contractor). The project ID is an ID assigned to each project section to identify the project section. The pipeline ID is an ID linked to each pipe in the pipeline designed by the design and construction calculation process.

[0046] The aforementioned water utility is the operator of the water supply business. The aforementioned water pipe construction contractor is a contractor that undertakes water pipe construction work from the aforementioned water utility. The aforementioned water pipe construction work is construction work related to water pipes carried out by the aforementioned water utility. The aforementioned water pipe construction work includes water pipe construction, which involves laying or replacing water pipes, and water pipe maintenance, which involves maintaining and managing water pipes.

[0047] ID information DA2 may be, for example, information such as an identification number that differs for each water utility, information such as an identification number assigned to each computing terminal, information such as an identification number that differs for each water pipe contractor, or information such as an identification number assigned to each water pipe construction project.

[0048] Design and construction-related information DA1 includes, for example, information about pipelines designed for each project ID. This pipeline information includes, for example, the pipeline (including branches), attributes of the pipes used (type and diameter, pipe length, etc.), joint locations, and information about equipment such as valves. Design and construction-related information DA1 is also linked to, for example, the business entity ID, the contractor ID, and the pipeline ID. That is, the design and construction calculation unit 13 performs the calculations necessary for design and construction in conjunction with the ID information DA2, and generates design and construction-related information DA1 linked to the ID information DA2. Specifically, the design and construction calculation unit 13 links the ID information DA2 to each pipe of the designed pipeline TP. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of ID information DA2 linked to each pipe of pipeline TP. In Figure 3, A01 to A09 are ID information DA2.

[0049] The design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14 stores the calculation results (including design and construction-related information DA1) from the design and construction calculation unit 13, as well as ID information DA2. The design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14 is composed of a storage device such as a hard disk or memory.

[0050] The design and construction calculation terminal 10 is configured to transmit design and construction-related information DA1 and ID information DA2, which are the calculation results from the design and construction calculation unit 13, to the design and construction server 20. The design and construction calculation terminal 10 may transmit design and construction-related information DA1 and ID information DA2 to the design and construction server 20 when it is connected to the design and construction server 20 in a communicative manner, or it may transmit design and construction-related information DA1 and ID information DA2 to the design and construction server 20 when it requests processing from the design and construction server 20, or it may transmit design and construction-related information DA1 and ID information DA2 to the design and construction server 20 in response to a request from the design and construction server 20.

[0051] The design and construction display unit 15 is configured to display design and construction-related information DA1. The design and construction display unit 15 includes at least one output device such as a display, printer, or speaker. The design and construction display unit 15 may display information stored in the design and construction calculation terminal storage unit 14, or it may display information obtained from the design and construction server 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, we describe a case where one design and construction computing terminal 10 can communicate with the design and construction server 20, but it is also possible for multiple computing terminals to be configured to communicate with the design and construction server 20.

[0053] The design and construction server 20 is configured, for example, by a computer device. The design and construction server 20 is capable of computational processing, stores attribute data corresponding to at least one of a water utility, a water pipe contractor, and a water pipe construction business, and transmits attribute data to the design and construction computation terminal 10 in accordance with the ID information DA2 transmitted from the design and construction computation terminal 10.

[0054] The attribute data includes information on the specifications of the water pipe, such as the material and dimensions of the water pipe; location data regarding the location where water pipe construction will be carried out; hydraulic data (water pressure, flow direction, flow velocity); geological data; topographic data; environmental data; vibration data; traffic data; and information on the water utility managing the water pipe, the water pipe construction company carrying out the water pipe construction, and other information related to the water pipe construction business. Preferably, the attribute data includes data other than data relating to the characteristics of the water pipe. Particularly preferable is that the attribute data includes at least one of location data, hydraulic data, geological data, traffic data, and topographic data. The attribute data may also include data obtained by the calculation processing of the design and construction server 20 or the design and construction computing terminal 10. The data relating to the characteristics of the water pipe means data relating to the specifications or performance of the water pipe, such as data relating to the material and dimensions of the water pipe, and hydraulic data.

[0055] Specifically, the design and construction server 20 includes a design and construction server communication unit 21, a design and construction server storage unit 22, and a design and construction data processing unit 23.

[0056] The design and construction server communication unit 21 communicates with the design and construction computing terminal 10 via an internet connection or the like. The design and construction server communication unit 21 can, for example, receive signals from the design and construction computing terminal 10 and can also output signals to the design and construction computing terminal 10. In other words, the design and construction server communication unit 21 is configured to send and receive signals to and from the design and construction computing terminal 10. The design and construction server communication unit 21 is configured to communicate with the design and construction computing terminal 10 by wired or wireless connection.

[0057] The design and construction server communication unit 21 can also communicate with the server communication unit 51 of the water pipe construction project support server 50, which will be described later. The design and construction server communication unit 21 can receive signals from the water pipe construction project support server 50 and can also output signals to the water pipe construction project support server 50. In other words, the design and construction server communication unit 21 is configured to send and receive signals to and from the water pipe construction project support server 50. The design and construction server communication unit 21 is configured to communicate with the water pipe construction project support server 50 by wired or wireless connection.

[0058] The design and construction server storage unit 22 stores attribute data related to water pipe construction projects, linked to ID information DA2 that can identify at least one of a water utility, a water pipe contractor, and a water pipe construction project. The design and construction server storage unit 22 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk or memory. The design and construction server storage unit 22 may store the attribute data in advance, or it may store attribute data obtained through processing within the design and construction server 20. This allows for centralized management of attribute data related to water pipe construction projects of each water utility within the design and construction server 20.

[0059] The design and construction server storage unit 22 also stores information acquired by the design and construction server communication unit 21 from the design and construction computing terminal 10. For example, the design and construction server storage unit 22 stores design and construction-related information DA1 obtained by computation processing on the design and construction computing terminal 10.

[0060] The design and construction data processing unit 23 reads attribute data associated with the ID information DA2 from the attribute data stored in the design and construction server storage unit 22, based on the ID information DA2 received from the design and construction calculation terminal 10. The design and construction data processing unit 23 outputs the read attribute data to the design and construction calculation terminal 10 via the design and construction server communication unit 21.

[0061] In this embodiment, the design and construction server 20 may also transmit data or programs required by the design and construction computing terminal 10 to the design and construction computing terminal 10. This makes it possible for the design and construction computing terminal 10 to perform calculations efficiently using data or programs centrally managed by the design and construction server 20.

[0062] (Maintenance) The maintenance calculation terminal 30 is configured to perform necessary input tasks during maintenance in water pipe construction projects, and to perform necessary calculations for maintenance, and to display maintenance-related information DB1. The maintenance calculation terminal 30 includes a maintenance calculation terminal communication unit 31, a maintenance input unit 32, a maintenance calculation unit 33, a maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34, and a maintenance display unit 35.

[0063] The maintenance and management computing terminal 30 may be configured as, for example, a computer device, or as a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet. The maintenance and management computing terminal 30 may have any configuration as long as it is capable of communicating with and performing calculations to the maintenance and management server 40. The maintenance and management computing terminal 30 may also be configured to output display data to another display unit.

[0064] The maintenance and management computing terminal communication unit 31 is configured to communicate with the maintenance and management server communication unit 41 of the maintenance and management server 40. The maintenance and management computing terminal communication unit 31 is composed of a communication device capable of wireless communication or wired communication such as a LAN, for example.

[0065] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the transmission and reception of information between the maintenance calculation terminal 30 and the maintenance server 40. As shown in Figure 4, the maintenance calculation terminal communication unit 31 of the maintenance calculation terminal 30 transmits the maintenance-related information DB1 and the maintenance ID information DB2, which includes the maintenance ID, from the calculation results of the maintenance calculation unit 33 to the maintenance server communication unit 41 of the maintenance server 40. At the same time, it receives the information DB3 necessary for maintenance calculations from the information stored in the maintenance server storage unit 42 of the maintenance server 40. This information DB3 necessary for maintenance calculations includes the maintenance calculation information DB4, which will be described later.

[0066] The maintenance input unit 32 is configured to allow operators to input information used for maintenance calculations. The maintenance input unit 32 includes, for example, an input terminal that allows input operations such as a mouse, keyboard, or input screen.

[0067] The maintenance calculation unit 33 performs calculation processing necessary for maintenance using information input by input operations to the maintenance input unit 32, information stored in the maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34, and at least one piece of information from the maintenance calculation information DB3 obtained from the maintenance server 40 via the maintenance calculation terminal communication unit 31. The maintenance calculation unit 33 generates, for example, maintenance-related information DB1 related to maintenance through the calculation processing necessary for maintenance. The maintenance calculation unit 33 includes, for example, a computing device capable of performing calculation processing, such as a CPU. The maintenance calculation unit 33 outputs the calculation results, including the maintenance-related information DB1, to the maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34.

[0068] The calculations necessary for the aforementioned maintenance include, for example, calculations related to monitoring the condition of equipment, calculations for generating maintenance-related information DB1, and calculations related to pipeline renewal plans. The aforementioned equipment refers to equipment that constitutes part of the pipeline, such as valves, pumps, and sensors.

[0069] The maintenance-related information DB1 contains information related to pipeline maintenance managed for each maintenance ID. Each maintenance ID is determined for each water distribution area. Each maintenance ID includes a pipeline group ID, which is information used to identify the construction unit in the plan for renewal work. This pipeline group ID is linked to a single construction unit that includes multiple pipes. The maintenance ID may also include information related to the utility ID and construction ID.

[0070] The aforementioned water distribution area is the area from which water is distributed from the outlet of each water treatment facility. Since the water flow velocity, water pressure, and water quality change when the distribution area changes, it is necessary to manage information regarding pipeline maintenance for each distribution area.

[0071] The aforementioned pipeline maintenance information is information to which a maintenance ID corresponding to the water distribution area is assigned to at least one of the pipeline and the equipment within the pipeline. The pipeline maintenance information may also include information on monitoring and diagnosing the condition of pipes and equipment included in the pipeline, and information on replacement plans, each of which is linked to a maintenance ID corresponding to the water distribution area. If the water distribution area changes due to valve operation or other reasons, the maintenance ID linked to the pipeline maintenance information will also change.

[0072] The maintenance calculation unit 33 performs calculations necessary for maintenance and generates information related to pipeline maintenance, linked to the maintenance ID. The maintenance calculation unit 33 performs calculation processing for managing the maintenance-related information DB1 for each pipeline group ID, that is, for each construction unit in the renewal construction plan. The maintenance calculation unit 33 may also perform calculation processing on information other than information related to pipeline maintenance as part of the maintenance-related information DB1. The maintenance calculation unit 33 outputs the maintenance-related information DB1, which includes the information related to pipeline maintenance obtained through the calculation processing, to the maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34.

[0073] The maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34 stores the calculation results from the maintenance calculation unit 33 (including maintenance-related information DB1) and also stores the maintenance ID information DB2, which includes the maintenance ID. The maintenance calculation terminal storage unit 34 is composed of a storage device such as a hard disk or memory.

[0074] The maintenance display unit 35 is configured to display the maintenance-related information DB1. The maintenance display unit 35 includes at least one output device, such as a display, printer, or speaker. The maintenance display unit 35 may display information stored in the maintenance computing terminal storage unit 34, or it may display information obtained from the maintenance server 40.

[0075] In this embodiment, we describe a case where one maintenance computing terminal 30 can communicate with the maintenance server 40, but multiple maintenance computing terminals may be configured to communicate with the maintenance server 40.

[0076] The maintenance server 40 is configured, for example, by a computer device. The maintenance server 40 is capable of computational processing, and it collects the maintenance-related information DB1 generated by the maintenance computing terminal 30, and stores it after mapping it. In response to requests from the maintenance computing terminal 30, the maintenance server 40 transmits the mapped maintenance-related information DB1 and other data to the maintenance computing terminal 30.

[0077] Specifically, the maintenance server 40 includes a maintenance server communication unit 41, a maintenance server storage unit 42, and a maintenance data processing unit 43.

[0078] The maintenance server communication unit 41 communicates with the maintenance computing terminal 30 via an internet connection or the like. The maintenance server communication unit 41 can, for example, receive signals from the maintenance computing terminal 30 and output signals to the maintenance computing terminal 30. In other words, the maintenance server communication unit 41 is configured to send and receive signals to and from the maintenance computing terminal 30. The maintenance server communication unit 41 is configured to communicate with the maintenance computing terminal 30 by wired or wireless connection.

[0079] The maintenance server communication unit 41 can also communicate with the server communication unit 51 of the water pipe construction project support server 50, which will be described later. The maintenance server communication unit 41 can receive signals from the water pipe construction project support server 50 and can also output signals to the water pipe construction project support server 50. In other words, the maintenance server communication unit 41 is configured to send and receive signals to and from the water pipe construction project support server 50. The maintenance server communication unit 41 is configured to communicate with the water pipe construction project support server 50 by wired or wireless connection.

[0080] The maintenance server storage unit 42 stores information acquired by the maintenance server communication unit 41 from the maintenance computing terminal 30. Specifically, the maintenance server storage unit 42 stores the maintenance-related information DB1 linked to the maintenance ID and the pipeline group ID. The maintenance server storage unit 42 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk or memory.

[0081] The maintenance server storage unit 42 also stores information processed by the maintenance data processing unit 43. For example, the maintenance server storage unit 42 stores information that has been collected and mapped by the maintenance data processing unit 43, such as the maintenance-related information DB1 generated by the maintenance computing terminal 30.

[0082] The maintenance data processing unit 43 collects the maintenance-related information DB1 received from the maintenance computing terminal 30 and performs mapping processing. Specifically, the maintenance data processing unit 43 collects the maintenance-related information DB1 and links the maintenance-related information DB1 with the mapping data M. The information processed by the maintenance data processing unit 43 is output to and stored in the maintenance server storage unit 42.

[0083] An example of maintenance-related information DB1 linked to mapping data M is shown in Figure 5. In the example shown in Figure 5, pipelines are shown with solid lines, where code GP1 is the pipeline group ID and code C1 is the pipeline to be replaced. In other words, in the example shown in Figure 5, pipeline C1 in pipeline group GP1 is the pipeline to be replaced in the replacement work. Information like that shown in Figure 5 may be output to the maintenance calculation terminal 30 in response to a request from the maintenance calculation terminal 30 and displayed on the maintenance display unit 35.

[0084] (Water pipe construction business support server) The water pipe construction project support server 50 is configured to send and receive information to and from the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance server communication unit 41 of the maintenance server 40. Figure 6 schematically shows the sending and receiving of information between the water pipe construction project support server 50 and the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance server 40. Note that the design and construction server communication unit 21, the maintenance server communication unit 41 and the server communication unit 51 are not shown in Figure 6.

[0085] As shown in Figure 6, the water pipe construction project support server 50 manages the design and construction-related information DA1 received from the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance and management-related information DB1 received from the maintenance and management server 40 by linking them with at least one ID from the ID information DA2, which is either the business entity ID, the construction ID, or the pipeline ID. The water pipe construction project support server 50 outputs design and construction calculation information DA4 used for calculation processing related to design and construction in response to input operations to the design and construction calculation terminal 10, while outputting maintenance and management calculation information DB4 used for calculation processing related to maintenance and management in response to input operations to the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30.

[0086] As shown in Figure 1, the water pipe construction project support server 50 includes a server communication unit 51 (information acquisition unit), an information storage unit 52, and a data output unit 53.

[0087] The server communication unit 51 communicates with the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance server communication unit 41 of the maintenance server 40 via an internet connection or the like. The server communication unit 51 can, for example, receive signals from the design and construction server 20 or the maintenance server 40, and can also output signals to the design and construction server 20 or the maintenance server 40. In other words, the server communication unit 51 is configured to send and receive signals to and from the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance server 40. The server communication unit 51 is configured to communicate with the design and construction server 20 and the maintenance server 40 by wired or wireless connection.

[0088] The server communication unit 51 receives and acquires design and construction-related information DA1 input from the design and construction calculation terminal 10 to the design and construction server 20, and maintenance-related information DB1 input from the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 to the maintenance and management server 40. In other words, the server communication unit 51 corresponds to the acquisition unit of the present invention. The server communication unit 51 also receives and acquires ID information DA2 from the design and construction server 20.

[0089] The design and construction-related information DA1, maintenance-related information DB1, ID information DA2, and maintenance-related ID information DB2 received by the server communication unit 51 are output to the information storage unit 52. The information storage unit 52 stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1, linking them with at least one ID from the ID information DA2, which is either the business entity ID, the construction ID, or the pipeline ID. The information storage unit 52 may also store the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1, linking them with at least one ID from the maintenance-related ID information DB2, which is either the business entity ID, the construction ID, or the pipeline ID. Figure 6 schematically shows how the information storage unit 52 stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1, linked by the aforementioned IDs.

[0090] The information storage unit 52 stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1, which are linked by the ID, on the mapping data M. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 linked by the ID on the mapping data M. As shown in Figure 9, the information storage unit 52 stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 on the mapping data M in a state linked by the ID. As a result, the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 are stored in the information storage unit 52 linked to the ID and location information.

[0091] Furthermore, the information storage unit 52 stores information for at least one ID from the ID information DA2, such as the entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID. The information storage unit 52 may also store information for at least one ID from the maintenance ID information DB2, such as the entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID. The information storage unit 52 may store other information. The information storage unit 52 includes, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk or memory, and a controller that controls the storage of information to the storage device.

[0092] The data output unit 53 outputs the information stored in the information storage unit 52 to the server communication unit 51. The information output from the data output unit 53 to the server communication unit 51 is transmitted to the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20 or the maintenance server communication unit 41 of the maintenance server 40. Based on input operations to the design and construction calculation terminal 10, the data output unit 53 outputs design and construction calculation information DA4 used for design and construction calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52. On the other hand, based on input operations to the maintenance calculation terminal 30, the data output unit 53 outputs maintenance calculation information DB4 used for maintenance calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52.

[0093] In other words, the data output unit 53 not only outputs the information stored in the information storage unit 52, but also has the function of generating and outputting the design and construction calculation information and the maintenance and management calculation information based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52, as shown in Figure 6.

[0094] As shown in Figure 1, the data output unit 53 includes a pipeline connection information generation unit 56 and a pipeline information conversion unit 57.

[0095] The pipeline connection information generation unit 56 connects multiple pipes in pipeline TP based on the information about pipeline TP from the design and construction related information DA1 stored in the information storage unit 52, and assigns a connected pipeline ID to the connected information. In other words, the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 assigns a new connected pipeline ID to the connected pipeline obtained by connecting multiple pipes in the information about pipeline TP from the design and construction related information DA1 generated by the design and construction calculation terminal 10.

[0096] Figure 7 schematically shows an example in which a new connected pipeline ID is assigned to a connected pipeline obtained by joining multiple pipes in pipeline TP. In Figure 7, B01, B02, and B03 are assigned to the connected pipeline as examples of connected pipeline IDs. The pipeline connection information generation unit 56 may be configured to allow selection whether to include A03 in Figure 7 in B01 or B02. Similarly, the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 may be configured to allow selection whether to include A07 in Figure 7 in B02 or B03. Thus, the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 may be configured to allow selection whether to connect a pipe near the boundary of adjacent connected pipelines in pipeline TP to one of the adjacent connected pipelines.

[0097] The pipeline connection information generation unit 56 connects the multiple pipes based on at least one of the pipe attribute information, the branching of the pipeline, and the equipment of the pipeline, which are obtained from the information about the pipeline TP. The pipeline connection information generation unit 56 assigns a connected pipeline ID to the information about the connected pipeline obtained by the connection. The pipe attribute information includes the pipe type, pipe diameter, pipe length, and the time the pipe was buried. The equipment of the pipeline TP includes equipment that constitutes a part of the pipeline TP, such as valves, pumps, and sensors. In the example shown in Figure 7, the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 connects multiple pipes at a bend in the pipeline TP, which is a shaped pipe, to obtain a connected pipeline.

[0098] The data output unit 53 outputs information obtained by combining pipeline information necessary for design and construction using the pipeline connection information generation unit 56, with a connected pipeline ID assigned to each connected pipeline, as maintenance and management calculation information DB4. This maintenance and management calculation information DB4 is transmitted from the server communication unit 51 to the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 via the maintenance and management server 40 and used as maintenance and management data.

[0099] Furthermore, the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 may associate information on the connected pipelines, to which a connected pipeline ID has been assigned, with, for example, the location information of the mapping data M, as the maintenance and management calculation information DB4. This allows the maintenance and management calculation information DB4 to be managed in conjunction with the mapping data M.

[0100] The pipeline information conversion unit 57 converts the pipeline maintenance-related information DB1 stored in the information storage unit 52 into pipeline information for design and construction. The pipeline maintenance-related information is information to which a maintenance ID corresponding to the water distribution area is assigned to at least one of the pipeline and the equipment within the pipeline. The pipeline information conversion unit 57 generates pipeline information for design and construction by associating construction information for design and construction (past design information, information about pipes, ID information DA2, etc.) with each pipeline group ID included in the maintenance ID linked to the pipeline maintenance-related information. Figure 8 shows an example of pipeline information for design and construction of pipeline TP in pipeline group GP. In Figure 8, in pipeline TP, construction IDs are assigned to construction sections K1 and K2, respectively, and each pipe is assigned a pipeline ID (A01 to A09) from the ID information DA2.

[0101] The aforementioned pipeline group ID is assigned to the construction unit in pipeline renewal work, etc. The pipeline information includes information about the pipeline to be constructed, the type of pipe, the diameter of the pipe, the length of the pipe, the location of the joints, etc. The pipeline information conversion unit 57 outputs the pipeline information as design and construction calculation information DA4.

[0102] As described above, the pipeline information for design and construction obtained by the pipeline information conversion unit 57 is transmitted as design and construction calculation information DA4 from the server communication unit 51 to the design and construction server communication unit 21 of the design and construction server 20 via an input operation to the design and construction input unit 12 of the design and construction calculation terminal 10. The design and construction calculation unit 13 of the design and construction calculation terminal 10 uses the design and construction calculation information DA4 to design the pipeline to be constructed. At this time, the design and construction calculation unit 13 automatically assigns a construction ID to each construction section of the designed pipeline.

[0103] Input operations for the design and construction calculation terminal 10 are input to the water pipe construction project support server 50 via the design and construction server 20, and the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 generates a signal to the data output unit 53 to output design and construction calculation information DA4, which is then output to the data output unit 53. Input operations for the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 are input to the water pipe construction project support server 50 via the maintenance and management server 40, and the pipeline connection information generation unit 56 generates a signal to the data output unit 53 to output maintenance and management calculation information DB4, which is then output to the data output unit 53.

[0104] Based on the above, the water pipe construction business support system 1 according to this embodiment supports water pipe construction businesses. The water pipe construction business support system 1 includes a water pipe construction business support server 50, a design and construction server 20 that can communicate with the water pipe construction business support server 50, a design and construction calculation terminal 10 that is capable of processing calculations related to design and construction and can communicate with the design and construction server 20, a maintenance server 40 that can communicate with the water pipe construction business support server 50, and a maintenance calculation terminal 30 that is capable of processing calculations related to maintenance and can communicate with the maintenance server 40. The water pipe construction business support server 50 includes a server communication unit 51 that acquires design and construction-related information DA1 input from the design and construction calculation terminal 10 to the design and construction server 20 and maintenance-related information DB1 input from the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 to the maintenance and management server 40, respectively; an information storage unit 52 that stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and maintenance-related information DB1 acquired by the server communication unit 51, linked by at least one ID, such as a business entity ID, a construction ID, or a pipeline ID; and a data output unit 53 that outputs design and construction calculation information DA4 used for the design and construction calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52 in response to an input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal 10, and also outputs maintenance calculation information DB4 used for the maintenance and management calculation processing based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52 in response to an input operation to the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30.

[0105] This allows the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 to be linked by at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID, and stored in the water pipe construction project support server 50. Therefore, the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 can be centrally managed by the water pipe construction project support server 50. Consequently, the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 can be managed efficiently.

[0106] Furthermore, the water pipe construction project support server 50 outputs design and construction calculation information DA4 based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52, and outputs maintenance and management calculation information DB4 based on the input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal 10, and maintenance and management calculation information DB4 based on the input operation to the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30. Therefore, by using the information stored in the information storage unit 52, it is possible to easily obtain the information necessary during design and construction and maintenance and management, respectively.

[0107] In this way, by centrally managing design and construction-related information DA1 and maintenance-related information DB1 on the water pipe construction project support server 50, and by enabling the output of necessary information during design and construction and maintenance from the information stored on the water pipe construction project support server 50, a water pipe construction project support system 1 can be realized that facilitates design, construction, and maintenance.

[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the information storage unit 52 stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance and management-related information DB1 on the mapping data M, linking them together with at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, the construction ID, or the pipeline ID.

[0109] This allows design and construction-related information DA1 and maintenance-related information DB1 to be linked and managed on the mapping data M using at least one ID: business entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID. Thus, design and construction-related information DA1 and maintenance-related information DB1 can be managed together with location information. Consequently, information that is easy to use for design, construction, and maintenance can be stored in the information storage unit 52, making it easy to perform design, construction, and maintenance using this information.

[0110] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the design and construction related information DA1 includes information about pipelines designed for each construction ID. The water pipe construction project support server 50 further includes a pipeline coupling information generation unit 56 that combines multiple pipes in the pipeline based on the pipeline information input from the design and construction calculation terminal 10 to the design and construction server 20, and assigns a pipeline ID to the combined information. The pipeline coupling information generation unit 56 outputs the combined information to the information storage unit 52.

[0111] As a result, the water pipe construction project support server 50 can assign a pipe ID to the pipeline information obtained by combining multiple pipes in a pipeline based on the design and construction-related information DA1, and output it to the information storage unit 52. Therefore, the water pipe construction project support server 50 can output the design and construction-related information DA1 to the information storage unit 52 in a compact data size by combining it, rather than outputting it as is. This combined information can then be used, for example, in maintenance and management.

[0112] Therefore, the design and construction-related information DA1 can be compactly stored in the information storage unit 52, and this information can be used for maintenance and management.

[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pipeline coupling information generation unit 56 combines the plurality of pipes based on at least one of the pipe attribute information, the branching of the pipeline, and the equipment of the pipeline obtained from the pipeline information, and assigns the pipeline ID to the combined information.

[0114] This allows multiple pipes in a pipeline to be connected based on information about the pipeline, a pipeline ID to be assigned to the connected information, and that information to be output to the information storage unit 52. Thus, a pipeline connection information generation unit 56 can be realized that connects multiple pipes and generates information about the connected pipeline.

[0115] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the maintenance-related information DB1 includes information on pipeline maintenance managed for each maintenance ID. The water pipe construction project support server 50 has a pipeline information conversion unit 57 that converts the pipeline maintenance information input from the maintenance calculation terminal 30 to the maintenance server 40 into pipeline information for design and construction. The pipeline information conversion unit 57 outputs the converted pipeline information to the information storage unit 52.

[0116] This allows the pipeline maintenance information entered into the maintenance server 40 to be converted into pipeline information for design and construction and stored in the information storage unit 52, making it usable for design and construction.

[0117] Therefore, the information stored in the information storage unit 52 can be used to easily carry out design and construction.

[0118] (Program for controlling the water pipe construction project support system) The program in the embodiment of the present invention (program for controlling the pipeline construction project support system) is a program that causes the water pipe construction project support server 50, which is part of the water pipe construction project support system 1, to execute the following:

[0119] The program, for example, causes a design and construction-related information DA1, which is input from a design and construction calculation terminal 10 capable of performing calculations related to design and construction to a design and construction server 20 that can communicate with the design and construction calculation terminal 10 and the water pipe construction project support server 50, and maintenance-related information DB1, which is input from a maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 capable of performing calculations related to maintenance and management to a maintenance and management server 40 that can communicate with the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30 and the water pipe construction project support server 50. The program then stores the design and construction-related information DA1 and the maintenance-related information DB1 in the information storage unit 52, linking them by at least one ID, such as a business entity ID, a construction ID, or a pipeline ID. Based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52, the program outputs design and construction calculation information DA4, which is used for the design and construction-related calculations, through an input operation to the design and construction calculation terminal 10, while also outputting maintenance calculation information DB4, which is used for the maintenance-related calculations, through an input operation to the maintenance and management calculation terminal 30, based on the information stored in the information storage unit 52.

[0120] The water pipe construction support system 1 in this embodiment can be realized by executing the above-described program on the water pipe construction support server 50. In this case, the water pipe construction support server 50 may be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer. The computer may, for example, be equipped with a CPU and perform calculations using the CPU.

[0121] Furthermore, the content executed by the program may be other than that described above, as long as it is a program that realizes the configuration of the water pipe construction business support server 50 in this embodiment.

[0122] (Other embodiments) Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments described above are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is possible to carry out the invention by appropriately modifying the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the information storage unit 52 of the water pipe construction project support system 1 stores design and construction-related information DA1 and maintenance-related information DB1 on the mapping data M, linking them by at least one ID, such as the business entity ID, construction ID, or pipeline ID. However, the information storage unit does not need to link the design and construction-related information and the maintenance-related information on the mapping data.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the design and construction calculation terminal 10 transmits the ID information DA2 to the design and construction server 20. However, the design and construction calculation terminal does not have to transmit the ID information to the design and construction server. In this case, the ID information may be input to the design and construction server by another input device or a water pipe construction project support server.

[0125] In the above embodiment, the design and construction server 20 transmits the information DA3 necessary for design and construction calculations to the design and construction calculation terminal 10. However, the design and construction server does not have to transmit the information necessary for design and construction calculations to the design and construction calculation terminal. In this case, the information necessary for design and construction calculations may be stored in the design and construction calculation terminal in advance, or the information necessary for design and construction calculations may be transmitted to the design and construction calculation terminal from another device.

[0126] In the above embodiment, the maintenance server 40 transmits information necessary for maintenance calculations to the maintenance calculation terminal 30. However, the maintenance server does not have to transmit information necessary for maintenance calculations to the maintenance calculation terminal. In this case, the information necessary for maintenance calculations may be stored in the maintenance calculation terminal in advance, or the information necessary for maintenance calculations may be transmitted to the maintenance calculation terminal from another device.

[0127] In the above embodiment, the water pipe construction project support system 1 is a system that supports water pipe construction projects. The water pipe construction project support server 50 is a server that supports water pipe construction projects. However, these configurations are also applicable to systems that support construction projects for sewerage or agricultural water pipelines. That is, the configurations of each of the above embodiments can be implemented as a pipeline construction project support system, a pipeline construction project support server that controls the pipeline construction project support system, and a pipeline construction project support program. Furthermore, the support server can be used as a server for supporting pipeline construction projects. [Industrial applicability]
