Project:
Tri-State Systems has performed multiple projects for Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline in order to convert multiple file types to easily accessible digital images, including DOT Sheets, large format DOT drawings, various sized maps from 8.5”x11” to 24”X36”, and microfilm. These projects each have their own specifications as to which department they are for, within SSCGP, as well as different naming and indexing requirements for easy and convenient searchability within the company. This can include capturing the drawing number, project number, drawing type, drawing date and department for each image. These projects included the imaging of over 14,500 large format drawings/maps, 14,000 DOT sheets, and over 12,000 standard folder level images. Our current project in process of microfilm to digital, converting both 16 and 35mm film, is estimated to image over 1.3 million images.
