Streamlining Gas Leak Detection and Repair
In order to safely deliver large volumes of natural gas to customers, Pacific Gas & Electric must constantly leak survey and repair its gas transmission and distribution system. The current gas leak management process is highly complex and may include redundancies or inefficiencies. The Tauber team was tasked with simplifying and streamlining the process to improve visibility, limit variability, and reduce the error rate in detecting and responding to leaks.
