Abstract: Through the years we have seen technological improvements in the equipment used in our various leak surveys, but little has been done to improve the processing of the paperwork that is a by-product of these surveys. The use of hand-held computers, so successful in meter reading, has enabled us to make the first significant improvement in eliminating the paper trail associated with the leak survey process. Wisconsin Gas has reduced paperwork by developing a program to use hand-held computers to collect the leak survey data in the field and send it to our mainframe computer. Not only has this process eliminated the paperwork, it has given us a helpful new management tool capable of monitoring productivity and gathering other data. This is truly a stride forward. Most natural gas utilities gather data in the field and process the information back in the office. Two of the activities that produce the largest volume of field data are meter reading and leak survey. We have all seen how using hand-held computers to read meters increases productivity and reduces paperwork. Using hand-held computers for leak detection offers many of the same benefits.
