New Network Survey Software Offers Traceability and User-friendliness

Sep 16 2010

New safety legislation in Europe requires gas distribution companies to monitor their networks on a regular basis (once, twice or three times a year depending on the country). As a result, they are under an increasing obligation to guarantee traceability of their surveys by providing precise location and dating of gas concentrations measured.

Systematic leak detection is therefore part of the overall safety policy of gas distribution companies vis-à-vis the community and their own workforce. Aimed at the early identification of any deterioration of the network, systematic leak detection enables timely remedial action. But network surveys are also part of any maintenance policy, with the dual aim of increased safety and operating efficiency.

The Inspectra ® Laser portable detector developed by Gazomat™ S.a.r.l..(France), a company of T.D. Williamson, Inc., is used for on-foot inspections. The equipment, which benefits from high performance laser spectroscopy technology, offers below 1 ppm sensitivity as well as total selectivity to methane.

Eager to meet gas companies’ traceability requirements, Gazomat™ introduces a new survey software. The NGS software has been designed to ensure total traceability of network monitoring, both from vehicles and on-foot.

In addition, Gazomat™ now offers a unique product pack that combines the powerful measurement system of the Inspectra® Laser with the capabilities of the NGS software and the convenience of the GPS tablet system.

The GPS tablet displays the map of the survey mission on screen. The NGS software loaded onto the GPS tablet interfaces with and controls the measurement equipment to provide real-time visualisation on the downloaded road map of the operator’s position and the survey mission’s progress, plus any gas concentration detected.
