GAS DISTRIBUTION OVERVIEW //

Regulators are stepping up their enforcement efforts at Local Distribution Companies. Existing regulations are being measured more closely and new Distribution Integrity Management rules are on the horizon. LDCs used to be able to show compliance, but moving forward you are going to have to prove compliance. Our solutions do just this by giving managers complete information about work progress and providing an electronic audit trail that makes it possible to address regulators' pointed questions with the right documented answers. If you would like help managing the inspection/audit process and associated follow-ups as well as the required documentation for audit purposes, contact InMaps today. We will help ensure that you are always current with changing policies and legislation.

CP groups have a clear mandate to set up circuits, test rectifiers, visit test stations, and repair circuits where the readings are too high. This information is critical for the business, and yet it is not always available to the operation. Can you visualize circuits using GIS tools, including test station readings? Can you see One Call tickets relative to your CP circuits to determine if a foreign excavator may have damaged a wire? Are you confident that you are doing atmospheric testing at all your crossings? We've seen the great benefits companies reap that have integrated their CP systems with GIS. Contact us today and we'll show you how.

You expend a significant amount of resources looking for leaks. Whether you contract out to a service provider, manage your own crews, or both, there is a tremendous amount to keep track of. Using your GIS and simple GPS equipment, we can automate record keeping for leak survey. This will enable you to say goodbye to that room which is chock full of highlighted maps and service records that you need to keep organized for the inevitable audit. If you think your record-keeping system could be improved, contact us today.

Managing outages and the subsequent relighting process can challenge even the most organized utilities. In a gas outage, good data is invaluable for knowing who is affected, their location, and how to contact them. To manage an outage with GIS, you need to know where your valves are, how they control your pipes, what is being back fed, and which customers are connected where. Are you ready for the next big outage? Whether it's creating or cleaning up the underlying data, or providing GIS software to support your operation, we've been there, and we're ready to help. Contact us today.

Traditionally, engineering and operations dealt with pipes and addresses, while customer service dealt with customers and billing. Those days are over. Today you need to tie your customers to your mains in a way that allows you to analyze your systems, support outage management, dispatch crews, and market to new customers. If you haven't tied your engineering world to your billing world, contact us. We'll analyze your particular situation and find the most cost-effective and accurate way to make this crucial link.
