Abstract: In 1985, GRI is funding a S5 million program consisting of 28 research projects in the gas distribution operations area. This comprehensive program is directed at the development, demonstration, and commercialization of new or improved construction and maintenance products, equipment, or vehicles meters instruments piping materials and systems and new technology. The objective of the research is to provide opportunities for gas utilities to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of gas distribution operations. Cited as an example of a successful research project is the commercialization in 1984 of a GRI-developed soil stabilizer to reduce subsidence in backfilled excavations in paved areas. A I985-1995 timetable is presented showing the years of scheduled field experiments with cooperating gas utilities that involve prototype equipment or products being developed under GRI sponsorship and the years when selected commercial products will be available to the gas industry.
