Introduction: The aim of this project is to produce a range of options across several technology readiness levels (TRL) which will form the ‘toolbox’ of the project’s name, in order to allow SGN to select a particular tool dependent on the type of leak encountered.

Objectives:

The specific objectives for this project are:

• Confirm the challenges of the solution.
• Develop a screening process to choose the most appropriate techniques to move forward.
• Provide a full view of the solution ‘landscape’ (idea generation).
• Outline a long list of solutions (initial screening).
• Carry out an Engineering Screening Process to determine the initial feasibility of the long list.
• Recommend a short list of solutions to be taken forward with appropriate costings.
• Carry out a validation exercise, looking at getting rough prototypes into the field and understanding their benefits and challenges.
