Introduction:
Following on from original findings in the first SOFTPANG project (which identified the feasibility of a temporary gas solution; it’s legal and regulatory restriction, potential advantageous technologies and training requirements to equip this solution) and the current COVID-19 Pandemic, there is an opportunity to use the findings and help mitigate the risk to customers and operational workforce where properties that are identified as ‘high risk’ as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and cannot be accessed by network engineers as part of planned operations.
Objectives:
The work will be undertaken in one short stage and the project will focus on the following objectives:
Down selection to preferred technology/technologies
Detailed technical note on the requirements to be met to allow field trials of the preferred technology.
