Project GRAID Ofgem Proposal document

Our original proposal

Project GRAID Operating Procedures

How we operate on site

Project GRAID has finished

The end of the NIC project, but not the end of GRAID

The GRAID Condition Model report is complete

A significant output for PIE

GRAID at LCNI 18

The Low Carbon Networks & Innovation (LCNI) Conference 2018

Project GRAID handover pressure test

A chance to check everything was working before handover

GRAID enters its final stage

Implementing this technology is key to its future success

Project GRAID at LCNI 2018

A great chance to meet GRAID itself!

GRAID wins a very special prize

National Grid recognise the project

Project GRAID now enters the Delta Stage

The final stage of development for our robot

Project GRAID completes its final major milestone!

Inspection at Bacton carried out

Carbon foot printing study

Compare GRAID to other methods

Looking towards a 2nd live trial

Lets do it again!

Enhanced NDT work

Learning more about our sensors

Cleaning GRAID

A very important step in the survey process

We did it!

First ‘live’ trial of GRAID was completed

Our final dry run ahead of ‘live’ trial

Bringing everything together

Project GRAID control cabin is completed

In time to be used for the first trial

GRAID completes its endurance test

Huge achievement for the team

Project GRAID will be at this year’s Utility Week Live conference

See you there!

The GRAID team visit our second live trial site in Bacton

Great opportunity to meet the team there

One of GRAID’s key milestones passed

Significant moment in the project

Multiple nominations at this year’s IGEM Gas Industry Awards

Good luck to the team

Detailed scanning with the EMAT sensors get started

The results look good

GRAID, where will it inspect?

And what will we do with the data?

Project GRAID and computational fluid dynamics!

Thinking about how the robot affects flow

‘Beast from the East’ hits but Offline testing continues!

Not quite March weather.

Project GRAID first live site receives sanction

National Grid invests in the permanent connection site

Formal Process Safety Assessment (FPSA) carried out on the first GRAID connection

Always thinking safely

It is getting a little draughty in here!

The fans are switched on

Offline testing moves into a pressure and flow phase

It’s time to turn on the fans!

Project GRAID at LCNI 2017

Another great LCNI conference

Full robotic platform passes 100 bar(g) nitrogen test

A significant achievement for the team

Precision 2000 complete the chassis builds

And both pass their 100 bar(g) hydrostatic pressure tests!

Project GRAID supports the Gas Networks Innovation strategy

Feedback wanted

Happy Birthday to Project GRAID

The 24th November 2014 the project was awarded

Online trial locations are vital for Project GRAID

The project has now officially entered the live trials stage

Project GRAID and the Pipeline Maintenance Centre – a perfect match

PMC will be vital to the success of GRAID
