Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary impact assessment of new construction projects on the gas pipeline network before construction begins. By analyzing the spatial relationship between construction locations and existing pipelines, the system predicts potential gas supply anomalies and determines preventive pressure regulation strategies in advance, thereby preventing supply disruptions while allowing construction to proceed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors gas pipeline pressure data during and after construction projects. Based on real-time feedback from pressure sensors and construction progress data, the system dynamically adjusts pressure regulation instructions to maintain stable gas supply while accommodating construction activities, resolving the contradiction between construction progress and supply reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If traditional monitoring data analysis is used to identify gas problems, then gas supply issues can be detected, but response time is delayed and operation costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary risk assessment by analyzing the spatial relationship between construction projects and gas pipelines before problems occur. By predicting potential impact zones and pre-calculating pressure regulation strategies, the system prepares preventive measures in advance, enabling rapid response when construction begins without waiting for actual supply anomalies to manifest.

Inventive Principle:
