GIS Datasets of Central European Gas Pipeline (MEGAL): Pipeline Route, Compressor Stations, Control and Measuring Stations, Interconnection Stations, Valve Stations

Description

The GIS Datasets contain the Central European Gas Pipeline (MEGAL), which runs from the Germany–Czech cross-border point near Waidhaus and the Germany–Austria cross-border point near Untergriesbach to the Germany–France cross-border point near Medelsheim. This bidirectional pipeline system consists of MEGAL North Pipeline, MEGAL South Pipeline and MEGAL Connecting Line.

2 Files Included

Three GIS datasets are included in this product based on pipeline facility types. Additionally, some GIS formats do not allow the mixing of different entity types (i.e., points, lines, and areas) within a single file.

2.1 Route of Central European Gas Pipeline (MEGAL)

The datasets contain a line with the exact location coordinates of 2723 turning points along the pipeline route.

2.2 Main Stations of Central European Gas Pipeline (MEGAL)

The datasets contain the exact location coordinates and names of the pipeline’s 11 compressor stations, control and measuring stations, interconnection stations.

2.3 Valve Stations of Central European Gas Pipeline (MEGAL)

The datasets contain the exact location coordinates and names of the pipeline’s 44 valve stations.

We provide three types of file formats: .kmz, .shp, and .xlsx. Our users can open .kmz and .shp files with various GIS software and convert them into other GIS formats. You can use Excel to open .xlsx files, which contain the coordinates of pipeline route turning points and stations.

 

3 Related Upstream/Downstream Pipelines:

We also provide GIS datasets of following direct upstream/downstream pipelines.

Interconnection Pipelines (Bidirectional):
Sannerz – Rimpar Loop Line (LSR)

Downstream Pipelines:
Schwandorf – Forchheim Loop Line (LSF)

 

4 Lifetime Free Updates:

The downloadable files of digital pipeline map are updated irregularly to reflect the relocation of pipeline, construction of new stations, removal of existing stations and changes of administrative areas.

Our users are entitled to lifetime free updates for the digital maps they purchased. To download the latest updated map, visit the product download link via “my account” page of this website.
