Abstract: Prior to 1959, the Philadelphia Gas Works did all main and service installation and replacement work with its own forces. Only a few specialized jobs, such as bridge or river crossings were let to outside contractors. Then, in 1959, our management decided to stabilize the size of the distribution work force based on winter operating and maintenance needs and to contract that portion of work beyond the capability of this force. We have been contracting approximately 93% of our new main additions, 65% of the new service installations, and 53% of our main replacements. Considering the cost of such work, to be assured that we were getting our moneys worth from the contractor and to maintain our standards of safety and quality, management recognized at the outset the need for a comprehensive inspection program.
