Corrosion Control Database Provides Savings To Utility

摘要

Baltimore Gas and Electric's (BGE's) decision to implement the Bass-Trigon CPDM Corrosion Control Database was a result of wanting to continually improve the way we do business. The existing system was charged with the management of over 30,000 new test point readings per year, which must be maintained for the life of the pipeline facility. The cumulative data requirements simply became unmanageable by manual methods. A significant amount of review time was required in any attempt to ensure adequacy of the records while still being subject to human error and misfiling. The existing system did not allow for exception reporting and total system comparisons. This resulted in many problem areas going undetected until our only option was main/service replacement.
