MPS-JobBook
A gated construction-records platform: evidence captured as the work happens, validated against defined rules, defensible at closeout.
A gated documentation platform aligned with 49 CFR Part 192
MPS-JobBook is a gated construction documentation platform under active development that captures, cross-references, and validates pipeline construction records. It is designed to check each record against applicability-driven validation rules derived from 49 CFR Part 192 — and to flag conflicts for resolution, not silently store them.
MPS is developing an evidence-aware validation and reporting platform for regulated pipeline records, using applicability-driven rules, versioned canonical definitions, explicit uncertainty states, and fail-closed reporting controls. The architecture is designed for deployment-isolated customer environments.
Why we're building it. We spent years reviewing construction records after the fact — watching good projects, good crews, and good companies get damaged by records that should have been right the first time. We got tired of documenting failures and decided to build a system designed to prevent them. Every design choice in MPS-JobBook — the gates, the applicability-driven rules, the closed-loop conflict resolution — exists because we have seen exactly what happens without it.

Drone data, inside the same gates
MPS-JobBook is integrating drone-based inspection data into the five-gate structure. Drone captures are treated as records — held to the same gate discipline as every other piece of construction evidence, not kept in a separate system.
- 01
Captured at the gate
Drone-based inspection data enters at the gate where the work it documents is performed — not uploaded later as a separate archive.
- 02
Validated against requirements
Each capture is checked against the same applicability-driven rules as the weld logs, NDE reports, and test records it sits alongside.
- 03
Carried with provenance
Every capture keeps its source, time, location, and gate, so it can be traced and defended at closeout and after.
The Validation Approach
Validation in MPS-JobBook is applicability-driven: each rule checks whether a requirement actually applies to the work being performed, then is designed to check the evidence against it. Rule categories cover weld-to-NDE matching, material traceability, welder qualification verification, WPS compliance, coating documentation, pressure test records, inspector coverage, contractor documentation, design and configuration verification, and regulatory retention — all derived from 49 CFR Part 192 requirements. The detailed ruleset itself is proprietary.
- Weld-to-NDE Matching
- Material Traceability
- Welder Qualification Verification
- WPS Compliance
- Coating Documentation
- Pressure Test Records
- Inspector Coverage
- Contractor Documentation
- Design/Configuration Verification
- Regulatory Retention
The JobBook PDF
The final deliverable is a standardized, portable PDF containing all construction documentation with an embedded verification record. One document, designed for regulator review.
CFR 192 Alignment
All validation rules are derived from 49 CFR Part 192 requirements for transmission and distribution pipeline construction documentation.
Project Viewer
Clients get a project-viewer role for reviewing findings, resolving conflicts, and identifying missing data within their own project workspace.
