Build the knowledge base to reduce environmental impact

Environmental issues are nothing new.  Gas networks have been working to minimise leakage for years.  But the drive to a low carbon economy places new emphasis on the relationship between gas and the environment.

  • Carbon emissions reporting and reduction require better information on assets and their performance
  • Renewable gas will be distributed through existing networks
  • Network resilience needs to be enhanced to deal with the impacts of climate change.

Esri GIS delivers environmental benefits at all levels. 

  • Avoid unnecessary trenches – with better asset location information
  • Minimise impact of incidents – rapidly connect field teams with leaks so disasters can be avoided
  • Reduce natural leakage – optimise pressure levels across the network based on in depth analysis
  • No more ‘just in case’ - Predictive modelling integrates essential information to prioritise field operations.
  • Build for the future - locate facilities and manage maintenance so the environmental impact and risk of natural disasters is minimised
