Millennium Project Number: M-2001-001

Project Title: Global Technology Transfer Alliance

Project Start Date: 2001

Projected End Date: 2003

Technical Details:
Also referred to as the G2TA, this is an alliance of gas utilities that have joined together with GTI in an effort to identify and evaluate overseas operational technologies for potential development and adoption by the US gas industry. In a long-term effort, the alliance members work with technology developers to adapt and bring their products to the US market. As such, alliance members can join with manufacturers to influence design and foster development of enhancements.

Recent past technology development and transfer efforts have included internal inspection devices, squeeze-off tools, and plastic tapping tools. Technologies being reviewed in the latest round include cast-iron replacement, condition assessment and live inspection tools.

The project was completed in 2003 and no further funding was committed by KeySpan to this effort.
