Automated Regulator Maintenance (ARM) (Phase 1)

The scope of phase 1 of this Project is to evaluate the Wigersma & Sikkema Plexor inspection system and its application in the Great British (GB) gas network, ensuring compliance with relevant Legislation, British, European and industry standards.

The Project has been broken down into a number of potential phases, with phase 1 the only phase to be scoped out fully at this time:

Phase 1: Assessment of Wigersma & Sikkema Plexor System

Review of Plexor system design
Production of SGN/PM/G/17 and SGN/PM/G/23 documentation
Onsite field testing of Plexor system
Identify data management method and asset management protocol
Review and evaluation of the outputs from Phase 1

Future phases will be scoped out and subsequently registered following the success of phase 1:

Phase 2: Prototype System Design, Development and Review

Phase 3: Prototype System Validation and Field Trial

Benefits

This Project phase will be deemed to be successful if the following outcomes are achieved:

Undertake an assessment and review of the Plexor system design.
Produce SGN/PM/G/17 and SGN/PM/G/23 documentation detailing the correct operating procedures, risk assessments and methodology to be applied for the trials.
Development of an associated training packages for the onsite trials.
Carry out onsite field trials of the Plexor system.
Identify and assess the data management method and asset management protocol
Produce and disseminate learning based on final Project report.
