Pipeway Elevation

The pipeway-elevation component evaluates pipeline elements on per level per section per pipeway basis. Pipelines are considered on a specific elevation if it is between the upper and lower approach levels of the given berthing level of the pipeway.

On its own, the pipeway-elevation component can be limited; therefore, you are advised that the larger component expression of pipeway.section.pipeway-elevation be used. For information on the piping supported by each rack level, you will need to add pipeline elements to the report's component expression.

Element Attributes / Relationships Name Definition
pipeway-elevation (horizontal pipeways) attributes elev The berthing elevation of pipeway level
lower-threshold Elevation of lower approach level of current berthing level
sequence The level number counted from bottom to top and restarts with each section
upper-threshold Elevation of upper approach level of current berthing level
relationships pipeline-element

A Two section horizontal pipeway

Section 1 Elevations:
  • 110 ft (approach)
  • 113 ft (berth)
  • 116 ft (approach)
  • 120 ft 6.0 in (berth)
  • 125 ft (approach)
Section 2 elevations:
  • 110 ft (approach)
  • 113 ft (berth)
  • 116 ft (approach
For this two-section pipeway, the report attribute values are:

Level 2 133’ 4” 133’ 4” 2 150”
Section 2: Level 3 150’ 150” 1 175’ 3”
Level 4 175’ 3” 175’ 3” 2 201’ 8”
Element Attributes / Relationships Name Definition
pipeway-elevation (vertical pipeways) attributes elev The elevation of pipeway bents
lower-threshold
  • For the bottom bent, the zordinate of the structure section
  • For any other bent, the elevation of the bent.
sequence The level number counted from bottom to top and restarting with each section
upper-threshold
  • For the top bent, the top of the routing volume of the structure section
  • For any other bent, the elevation of the bent above the current bent.
