Pipeline Construction Document Creation Using Unique Pipe and Joint Numbering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional pipeline construction drawing creation devices lack flexibility in pipe laying, requiring pipes to be laid from one end to the other, which limits flexibility and construction efficiency, especially when pipes are laid from both ends or skip intermediate sections due to obstacles.
Innovation Solution
A construction management document creation device and method that assigns unique pipe and joint numbers to generate pipe connection and laying information, along with assembled condition management information, allowing for flexible pipe laying by identifying connection relationships and assembled conditions, enabling the generation of accurate construction management documents and drawings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pipes are laid from one end to the other end in sequential order, then the construction management can be simplified, but the flexibility in pipe laying is reduced and construction efficiency is lowered when obstacles require skipping sections or laying from both ends
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the pipe laying process into independent units by assigning unique pipe numbers and joint numbers to each pipe and connection point. This segmentation allows pipes to be laid in any sequence (from either end, skipping sections) while maintaining clear identification and tracking of each component, thus enabling flexible construction approaches without compromising management capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary numbering and identification of all pipes and joints before construction begins. By pre-assigning unique identifiers and establishing the connection relationship framework in advance, the system enables flexible on-site laying decisions (changing direction, skipping sections, working from multiple ends) while maintaining accurate documentation capability
2Ease of manufacture
If traditional manual note-taking and transcription methods are used for pipe information, then the documentation process is simple to implement, but transcription errors occur and information accuracy cannot be guaranteed
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic generation of construction management documents by having the pipes themselves carry identification information (pipe numbers, joint numbers, connection relationships). The documentation process becomes self-service as the system automatically extracts and records this information without requiring manual transcription, thereby eliminating transcription errors while maintaining process simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of note-taking and transcription with an automated information processing system. By using unique identifiers attached to physical pipes and automated data extraction, the system substitutes human manual operations with automated electronic processes, eliminating transcription errors while keeping the overall process simple
3Ease of operation
If pipe information is recorded after pipes are buried, then the documentation process is simplified, but the accuracy of pipe positions cannot be guaranteed due to measurement delays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary assignment of unique pipe numbers and joint numbers to each pipe and connection point before the pipes are buried. This preliminary identification ensures that accurate position and connection information is captured at the time of laying, eliminating the need for post-burial measurements while maintaining documentation simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous recording of pipe information throughout the construction process by automatically tracking pipe numbers and joint numbers as pipes are laid and connected. This continuous information capture ensures accuracy is maintained from laying through burial without requiring separate post-burial measurement activities

AI summary
A construction management document creation device includes: a first input processing unit configured to repeat a process of assigning a unique pipe number and a unique joint number in association with pipe attribute information, and thereby generate pipe connection information from which connection relationship between laying pipes is identifiable based on the pipe number and the joint number, and pipe laying information from which a type and a laying position of each laying pipe are identifiable based on the pipe attribute information; a second input processing unit configured to generate assembled condition management information based on assembling procedure confirmation information and assembled condition evaluation information input for each pipe assembling section identified by the joint number; and a document generation processing unit configured to generate a construction management document including a daily construction report based on the pipe connection information, the pipe laying information, and the assembled condition management information.
