| Objectives | This Project includes: Planning & Delivery Planning: The initial tasks will define the extent of the potential issues that NSMs could cause within the GD network. The later tasks will define the actual development required to enable approval of the most appropriate tools and techniques. Assess and understand NSM population and performance Develop initial operational guidance Define test plan Delivery: These tasks will validate the use of the appropriate tools and techniques through initial laboratory and yard testing, followed by limited and then extended field trials. Delivery of the repair techniques identified in test plan Development of Draft Procedures It is proposed that 6 systems (could be 2 for flow stop, repair and service connections) will be assessed. The scope of this project is concentrated on the non-standard polymer materials (brittle plastics). The scope of the planning phase is to define the extent of potential issues that NSMs cause within the GD network. The scope of the delivery phase is to validate the appropriate tools and techniques through initial laboratory and yard testing, followed by limited and extended field trials. The main objective of this project will be the development of a number of appropriate tools and techniques that can be utilised when leaks from NSMs are discovered, leading to a reduction in customer disruption due to less time off gas, smaller excavations and there no longer being a requirement to cut out and replace. | |
