Gas Leak Solution Overview
Ontracks has developed and deployed a Gas Leak Monitoring Solution using Maximo for our customer, a leading Gas Distribution company.
The leak management system now automatically creates and schedules tasks based on the initial leak entry.
The overall solution involves four major components:
- Leak Entry Application
- Leak Verification Application
- Leak Repair Application
- Spatial Visualization
Leak Entry
End-users needed to document the particulars of a leak, such as pin the leak on a GIS map, sending address, lat/long and relevant geographic data to Maximo. Now when a leak has been entered (using Workflow), Maximo automatically creates and schedules a Leak Verification and Leak Repair to ensure compliance timeframes are maintained based on the grade of the Leak.
Leak Repair
We configured an application to track and document the details of a leak repair. The application provides robust data validation and guides the user (through the use of a conditional user interface) through the required fields based on the leak details and repair information entered.
Leak Verification
This configured application is used to track and document periodic checks of active gas leaks. When a verification is submitted in Maximo the system automatically schedules the next verification (based on compliance time frames).
Spatial Visualization
Maximo Spatial provides the required visualization of leaks, along with the ability to place a leak on a map and carry forward the relevant geographic data (address, lat/long, legal, etc.)
