CASE STUDY

Aging assets, an aging workforce, increasing regulation, and high demands in an era of scarce resources are forcing natural gas utilities to rethink their approach to investment planning and management. Value-based decision making in a transparent, data-driven environment is the formula for success.
Copperleaf Asset supports our continued improvement as an asset manager, enabling us to draw on best practices in complying with the ISO 55000 asset management standard.”
Utilities are facing increasing pressure to demonstrate they have a robust long-term strategy in place to manage their asset-related risks. ONE Gas selected Copperleaf Suite as part of a larger overall corporate transformation to centralize asset management and asset investment decision making across three states. Today, ONE Gas has over two million assets loaded in Copperleaf SUite. According to Matt Fulghum, Director of Asset Investment Planning & Management: “Across the enterprise, ONE Gas can look holistically at these assets, scope projects, and optimize a work plan that delivers the most value to our stakeholders.”
Every Copperleaf client has recovered their investment within their first planning cycle—and every organization that has implemented our solution continues to use it successfully today. They report:
The Copperleaf Decision Analytics solution is now live at National Grid Gas Transmission (NGGT), which owns and operates the high-pressure gas transmission network, comprising of over 7,660 km of pipe and 618 above-ground installations in Great Britain. Copperleaf interviewed NGGT team members Neil Tansley, Asset Modelling Manager, and Jowita Uler, Portfolio Planning Manager, to get their thoughts on the implementation and how Copperleaf will help National Grid on its asset management journey.
The Copperleaf Product Suite is highly modular and configurable, and integrates seamlessly with existing EAM, APM, ERP, GIS, and a variety of other systems—empowering organizations to turn data into decisions.
