Methodology
PPS is given an address of a subsurface odor complaint. A supervisor retrieves all necessary records from the client’s files, calls for site mark out, and then pinpoints the leak to check its classification and narrow the search pattern. A full PPS crew mobilizes to the site. The leak is exposed and repaired by tightening loose fittings; using clamps, encapsulations, anaerobic sealants; or, replacing pipe, services or meter manifolds. The site is backfilled and restored to specification. Gas readings are taken to close the repair. PPS files the paperwork with the client’s files and closes the work order in the electronic system, completing an As-Built diagram complete with triangulations of the repair. PPS communicates with the utility and customer throughout.
