Beamex Case Story on Gas Transmission Efficiency

This case story details the collaboration between National Grid and Beamex to enhance gas transmission asset reliability and efficiency. National Grid operates the gas national transmission system in Great Britain, facing challenges with siloed data and inefficient calibration processes at their compressor stations. The lack of a centralized system hindered their ability to monitor asset performance effectively. To address these issues, National Grid implemented Beamex's calibration solutions, including the MC6-Ex Field Calibrator and CMX Calibration Management Software. This transition to a centralized, automated calibration process has led to significant time savings, with over 4,000 hours saved annually and substantial financial benefits. The case story outlines the successful implementation process, which included remote collaboration during the Covid pandemic, and highlights the positive feedback from technicians who found the new system intuitive and easy to use. The partnership is expected to evolve further, with plans for greater integration of Beamex solutions into National Grid's operations.
